How to do research on the internet for the economy AND human resources of an automobile company?

Question

I'm doing research on economy and human resources on Honda. I tried to use google for doing the research but hard to search for the website which contain suitable information.

Answer 1

Because Honda is a publicly traded company, you can get some of their financial reports from the Securities & Exchange Commission through their EDGAR database (http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml). Here is a link to Honda's most recent Annual Report/Form 20-F: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/7...

You can also find information at Honda's Investor Relations page:

Unfortunately, any information that Honda is not required to disclose might prove difficult to find because companies want to guard any trade secrets. If you want to find information on their management strategies/organizational structure, your best bet may be in academic or trade journals such as Organizational Dynamics or Personnel Today. If you can go to a public or academic library, I would recommend searching in an EBSCO Business Source database.
