GEN: Parent Companies of Businesses

[Cyndi Gates <cgates@SOUTHWIND.NET>]

A teacher asked if there was a source that listed businesses and their
parent companies.  She teaches an economics class and would like to show
students how many smaller companies are bought by larger ones and how many
companies merge.  I did a search on AltaVista and did find the Dunn and
Bradstreet(sp?) site, but it goes by subscription.  Other listings of
business directories were advertisements from communities or parent
companies.  Any ideas?

TIA
