Get an edge on your business research!

The workshop covers important research fundamentals and offers an overview of helpful citation tools for conducting business research.

If you’re an MBA student, the session will prepare you for research expectations in your core classes, and will feature a few specific examples relevant to MGMT 5150, to place sources in the context of your current course work.

More specifically, you’ll gain resources and strategies for:

Researching industry trends domestically and globally
Searching library databases to uncover market research reports and market segmentation data
