What is BSU?

Business Source Ultimate is a comprehensive business database. It provides access to a wide range of resources within economics, management, marketing, finance, supply chain, HR and related fields.

The database includes academic peer-reviewed journals as well as practice-oriented material, which makes it particularly suitable for business studies.

You can find:

  • academic articles from peer-reviewed journals
  • articles from trade publications
  • SWOT analyses, cases, videos
  • industry and market reports at country and regional level from IHS Markit, MarketLine, Countrywatch and several other report providers

When is BSU useful?

Librarians at CBS often recommend that students and researchers search for articles in Business Source Ultimate. It is tailored to business studies, and you will almost always be able to find something relevant if you study or conduct research at CBS.
