Welcome to Database of the Week.\u00a0 This feature from the Roland G. Parrish Library of Management & Economics is intended to give you a brief introduction to a database that you may not know, with only basic information to get you started.\u00a0 Hopefully, you will be tempted to explore this or other databases.<\/p>\n

This Week\u2019s Featured Database:\u00a0 <\/strong>Privco<\/em>, from The Privco Company.<\/p>\n

Find it:<\/strong>www.lib.purdue.edu\/parrish<\/a>, Under the column headed Collections, click on List of Business Databases.<\/p>\n

Description\/focus:<\/strong> Privco<\/em> is a great source for private company information.<\/p>\n

Start with this hint:<\/strong>\u00a0 From the Privco<\/em> main page, type Mars Inc. into the main search box and click Go. You will see a list of results and Mars Inc. is the first one. Clicking on this link will take you a page all about this company. You can download a PDF report from the top of the page, or scroll down to look at information such as Mars organizational structure or Mars competitors.<\/p>\n

See here<\/a> for a short video on accessing the database and using the interface.<\/p>\n

Why you should know this database: <\/strong>Some of the biggest companies in the world are privately owned and financial information about these billion-dollar companies is covered by our long-standing company information databases such as Mergent Online<\/em>.\u00a0 Smaller private companies, though, are a challenge.\u00a0 Privco<\/em>\u00a0is specifically obtained to provide in-depth business intelligence about private companies.<\/p>\n

How this will help students: <\/strong>Privco\u2019s<\/em> interface is straightforward and offers options to narrow an initial search.<\/p>\n
