This is a compilation of European market share reports from periodical literature, market and brokerage reports published in the 1991-92 period. The entries are arranged by the Standard Industrial Classification and each section contains information on general market conditions and on the performance of selected individual companies in that sector. Thus the entry for the bicycle market gives information on the size and structure of the UK market together with a supplier market share listing. The volume has a product and company index. In addition, the sources of each piece of information are clearly stated, and so it is relatively easy to consult the original source and to check for more recent information.
Information is arranged first of all by country, then alphabetically by the name of the company.
Details given include share data, profit and loss account, balance sheet, performance ratios and ordinary share record. This contains profiles of 500 major American companies together with some national and international rankings lists. The main listing is alphabetical by company name. Each entry includes a general overview, a short company history, principal personnel, addresses, areas of activity, sales figures, key competitors and financial information for a ten-year period. The three indexes list the profiles by industry and by headquarters location, and also give a brands, companies, people and places listing.
