Use this section to find online resources to conduct a literature search for business management, including reference materials (dictionaries and encyclopedias) ebooks, journals and databases.
Below you will find a thorough selection of general resources, all of which are considered authoritative. However, if you don't know where to begin your literature search, we recommend to start with Business Source Premier (ProQuest), e.g., via the A_Z list or via Subject Databases.
