NOTE this Requirement:  The Standard & Poor NetAdvantage Database provided in the NEC Online Library is a required source (and will be extremely helpful). The Standard & Poor Database is located under the general Library database listing. Once you have accessed the Standard & Poor site, the tabs at the top allow you to click on companies or industries. If you choose industries, it then provides a box and drop-down menu showing the various industrial reports which are available. Access the relevant report, and then review the details in the report to support this assignment. The information is incredibly relevant and provides a detailed analysis of the entire industry including a listing of the key companies in the industry.  Submission Details:

  • Your analysis should be between 1000 and 1500 words.

  • Create Leve1, 2, and Level 3 APA headings for each portion of the analysis.
