In this example I used Business Insight and did a search for JetBlue - the low-cost airline. Researching a company of interest helps me find other research about the industry. I can see how JetBlue is doing in the market by clicking on the links that are on the left hand side of the page. Under companies with similar revenue you can see the competitors and you can click on the company name to locate data about those companies. And finally, if you look under the Industries you can see that JetBlue is in the Scheduled Passenger Air Transportation Industry. Use that link to find other data on the industry.
Here is how to perform the search:
1. Search the company name.
2. Click the links on the page and read about the company.
3. Finally, look at the narrative and the data that can be found in the industry data link.
Well done! You now have a better idea about JetBlue as a company and about the airline industry as a whole.
