Research Inventory
To assist our editors in the preparation of company profiles--and as a resource in its own right--we are assembling a list of some of the best existing corporate research. The Research Inventory includes books, book chapters, reports, major articles, company-specific campaign websites, etc. The list below, arranged by company name, shows the author or organization that produced the material, the title and type of work, and the year of publication. Phil Mattera of the Corporate Research Project has offered to compile the initial list. If you would like to work with him, send a message to pmattera@goodjobsfirst.org to discuss the division of labor. Or, if you simply want to add an entry on your own, click "Create content" and select "Research inventory."
