Besides Yahoo! and Hoovers - is there a good source for finding a
narrative description of any business organization.  i.e., typing in
the name of the business and getting back results that would explain
what type of business operations they do, where they are located, and goal or
direction of company(not just financial information)

Hello Jessie,

There are commercially-available databases that you can access for a
fee -- or sometimes at no charge through a public library.

Are these of interest to you, or do you only want readily-available,
free databases like Yahoo?  If so, I'm not aware of any other than the
one you already are familiar with.

You know, if you search for them on HotJobs.com or Monster.Com most
companies have input a business profile or link that describes what
industry they are in and size of company etc.  I, personally won't pay
for Hoover's, but you can find out alot about companies by the various
recruiting websites that they use. If you are looking for large
company info, there is another recruiting site called,
"employerdirect.com", it's used somewhat as an internal job board for
alot of companies and provides alot of useful info.  All of the above
infomation is FREE!!!
