FreePint Research Report: Information from and about China
Jinfo Report
28th September 2011
Abstract
By Robin Neidorf
The business opportunity represented by China requires that companies of all sizes identify and acquire quality information to support their China-related initiatives. When asked what new types of information they are considering for their content portfolios, information managers often mention China-related information as a growing category. However, like China itself, the category of "China-related information" is vast.
To meet the demand for information about China, it is essential to understand what buyers and users are looking for. The FreePint Research Report: Information from and about China provides the results of an extensive survey of information managers responsible for their organisation's content budgets. Respondents represent such industries as professional services, pharmaceuticals, finance, and telecoms, amongst others.
The report provides a high-level overview of priorities for China-related information and covers a number of key topics including perspectives on the value, validity and availability of China-related information; concerns amongst information buyers regarding their ability to make use of China-related information; preferred sources and modes of purchasing China-related information; priorities for each of three broad subject areas: science, technical and medical information (STM); business news; and financial and merger and acquisition information; as well as opinions about non-paid sources of information (e.g., newsletters, blogs, government agencies) and preferred sources.
This project was generously sponsored in part by Bureau van Dijk and Informa Business Solutions.
