These Reports can be of great help, especially if you cannot find a lot of information on your company.
Why? Because you can research your industry using the industry report to find out trends, threats, etc.
For example, if you work for a doctor’s office, the Health Industry Report would provide helpful information for your SWOT analysis report.
If you work in a small real estate office, the Property Sectors Industry Report would be very helpful to you.
