Business Databases

ABI/Inform and Business Source Premier are excellent databases for searching through newspapers, journals and trade publications. In these databases, you can search for a technology, a company, an industry, a marketing research or business concept (e.g., marketing 2.0 or supply chain management). I've listed The Wall Street Transcript (TWST) here because it allows one to search interview transcripts of CEOs, industry analysts and other executives by company, sector and free text. Using TWST you can find out what Wall Street is saying (literally) about your technology.

Factiva
Contains more than 28,000 sources from over 200 countries in 23 languages. Includes Wall Street Journal television transcripts and newswires.
