Help with my 1st college research project

Sandals

Hi I am not sure where i should have posted this and please feel free to move, but as part of my bess course i have to do a project on danone,

can you tell me where i could find out online about:

a list of its main competitors and an approximation of its market share in the industry.

I pity you, college projects are the worst things ever. Good luck.

*Lees*

You should get a contact number for them... I'm sure they wouldn't mind sending some info!!
I remember as kids we used to ring coca cola's free fone number and pretend we were doing projects because they used to send out coca cola stickers!! haha... n u weren't cool unless you had them!!
They might have danone stickers....
......... Coool!!!

Hitchhiker's Guide to...

Have a look at the LexisNexis database in college (through the library homepage) - search Danone under the company profiles and select to search the "Extel Company Cards".

Otherwise, go onto the Danone website (www.danone.com) - it gives a lot of useful info.

Hope this helps...

I'm usually very helpful to queries here, but thats key info to the project... do the research yourself you lazy git!
They all got to be available with a google search away.

very good website:

finance.yahoo.com

It hardly seems like the hardest project though, did you not just try google?

Do your own research. You can't come on here and expect people to do it for you. Danone is a very large company. A few quick googles and you'll have loads for your project tbh.

no i wont it is my first project and dont know where to look, any attempts to find stuff just result in me getting loads of info on danone but not their competitiors and when i do find interesting stuff the site says i have to pay 50 dollars for it as a pdf i am confused and dont know where to go.

How will you learn how to look if you never try in the first place? You can't expect someone to hold your hand in college you have to learn how to do things on your own.

If you don't want to help him why bother reply?

Parent lectures was not the question

OP:
Try reuters Datamonitor, it's where I get a lot of my info but you need to have a subscription (your college should have one).

Myself and nesf are helping by such replies.... if he/she cant get such basic research info (main competitors & market share) themselves for such a project they have to do, they wont have a hope in 2nd or future years.
Had they asked for our experience of the product, or our opinions... I'm sure we'd be glad to help... but the question was one of sheer laziness on the posters behalf.
You only have to use google to type "Danone Competitors" to find the requested info.

I've attached the information I got for Danone from Datamonitor.
You're welcome.

Whiskeyman said it well. This is something that the OP needs to do for themselves. The OP isn't even trying here, a quick few googles will turn up the relevant information. This isn't a homework forum and people asking for others to do their research for them on here will get replies from me as above etc etc.

I helped because I've to do the same sort of reports and research and stuff and it can be quite difficult to find good, up to date material tbh.

Research skills are something to be learned though not just got around. Getting others to do the research for you is just intellectually dishonest and exceedingly lazy. If it was a very small company i'd have more sympathy, but one the size of Danone isn't exactly tough to find information on. You just have to be willing to spend some time searching for it.
