Re: GEN: looking for net source for Huge Corporations' companies

[MS_HERBERT <herbert@GEORGIAN.EDU>]

I am looking for a place to find out who owns  what smaller companies.
Take, for example, Dow Corning--is there somewhere **out there** that I can
find out the names of the companies that Dow Corning (just, an example
here, mind you!!) owns

Trish,

The main source that will help you with this is Standard & Poor's.  It is
priceless for those companies that are part of huge corporations, as well as
finding out the various holdings of the corporations.

Other sources include Hoover's, and Dun's.  (Sorry, I can't remember the exact
titles, but this is how they're referred to.)

If your library doesn't own these, try either your local library (probably the
headquarters library, if you're part of a library system) or a college which
has a business major.
