Business and Economics Library

The Encyclopedia of Global Industries is a fantastic resource for understanding different industries on a worldwide scale. Over 125 separate industries are represented under 23 broad categories, selected by a group of business experts. Each article provides an industry snapshot, details on the organization of companies within the industry, historical background, current conditions, new technologies, work force demographics, industry leaders, and countries involved.

Unfortunately, there is no direct link to this resource, but it can be found by searching for Gale Virtual Reference Library in the “find a database” search bar on this site or the library’s website.
