Indepth industry analysis reports covering over 20 industry sectors.

To find information on an industry click on the Industries tab at the top of the site. On the Industries main page you can use the drop-down menus to access the Industry Surveys or Sub-Industry Review publications. If you would like to learn about the industry in which a particular company operates, you can retrieve the appropriate Industry Survey or Sub-Industry Review by using the "Search by Company" tool and entering a ticker symbol or company name.

Note: Companies are associated with only one industry or sub-industry group. If a company operates in multiple industries, it is typically assigned to the industry and sub-industry from which it generates the majority of its revenues. If Standard & Poor's does not publish an industry survey on a company's assigned industry, a company name or ticker symbol search will not produce any results.

Anyone who wants to do business in China (and these days that includes almost everybody) should know who the movers and shakers are. You can find out a lot about the people who make things run in China by going to ChinaVitae ( http://www.chinavitae.com ). China Vitae has a database with biographies of more than 3000 current Chinese political, military, business, academic, and media leaders. The capsule biographies show the leader's place of origin, education, work history and organizational affiliations. They're a great way to get background information on someone you may be dealing with, if you do business in China. Click on "Research Center" to search by a person's name, institution, role, or location. You can also scroll down the page and click on "Prominent Chinese Families" to get another perspective. China Vitae also lets you search for relationships among biographies, such as if two people worked at the same company at some point in their careers. Finally, there is a database which tracks the public appearances of several hundred senior Chinese officials, allowing you to follow the daily activities of these VIPs who influence Chinese policies.
