The Emory community has access to a wealth of business research databases. This series highlights many of these great resources, including content and the best applications for classes and career prep.
What You Will Find
Uniworld’s multinational company directory lets you create custom lists of domestic and international firms in over 200 countries and 20,000 industries. Filter by country, region, state, industry and revenue. Results can be downloaded to both Excel and PDF.
Use for Class Projects
Uniworld includes national and regional headquarters and a representation of retail locations within each country. For business development projects, this is valuable for identifying countries and regions with large concentration of employers in a certain industry, as well as countries where there may be opportunities for expansion.
Use for Interview Prep
When creating a target list of companies as part of your career research, Uniworld can help build lists of firms with both US and international operations. If you wish to work outside of the US for an internship or for a few years post graduation, firms with locations in the US and in your target country may offer opportunities for transferring between countries within the same firm.
Additional Business Research Resources
You can also use the Business Research Guide to locate additional business resources, locate tips for how to use them, and understand which are best for your specific research needs.
