1. Amount of published information available varies widely by industry.
A. Unfortunately for the researcher, many industries do not meet these criteria, and there may be
little published information available.
B. Generally, the problem the researcher will face in using published data for analysing an
economically meaningful industry is that they are too broad or too arranged to fit the industry.
C. However, it is always possible to gain some important information about an industry from published
sources and these sources should be aggressively pursued.
D. Larger the industry, the older it is, and the slower the rate of technological change, better is the
available published information.
6. If a researcher starts a searching for data with this reality in mind, the uselessness of broad data
will be better recognized and the tendency to give up will be avoided.
