Passport
Trainers from Passport will be coming to Exeter on Tuesday December 8th and will be giving a demonstration of the database in the Bateman Lecture Theatre in Building: One (Business School). Again, there is no need to book.
If you need market research information for your research, Passport from Euromonitor is an incredibly valuable resource. The database has global industry data, market research and country reports. It supports a wide range of courses, including international business and marketing, economics, social sciences, humanities, international relations, travel and tourism, hospitality management and food marketing. Over 205 countries are researched, both developed and emerging markets. It also has detailed profiles of the top international companies, compiled in a standardised format for cross analysis.
