Finding Market Share Data for Milestone Three

Finding Market Share Data for Your Firm
Statista is one of the best resources to find market data for your firm.  To access it, click on the A-Z Database List in the Quick Links box on the library home page. When the list of databases comes up, click on the letter "S" and then scroll to the bottom of the databases beginning with "S" and click on Statista. Simply type in the company name and the words "market share" into the search bar.
If you can’t find what you’re looking for through Statista…
Other databases available from the A-Z Database List that have market share information include: IBISWorld (search by company name and industries will come up; select an industry and then click on the "Major Companies" tab to view a bar graph and company descriptions of major market share holders) and  Mintel Reports (type in company name and "market share" and click on appropriate results). 
Even with this criteria, the market share for SVOD (if Netflix is the firm you selected) can be a bit elusive to find even using this criteria.  If you are having trouble, please use this link (you will need to login under your SNHU credentials): https://www-statista-com.ezproxy.snhu.edu/study/32121/svod-statista-dossier/

Things to Remember for your Paper
·         Make sure to define the market that your market share data comes from
o   For example: If you search “Starbucks market share” on Statista you will be offered the market share for ground coffee, single cup brewing, leading brands, and leading vendors, coffee shop market share, etc.
o   Make sure you choose the market share for the aspect of your business that you are focused on.  If your paper is mostly focused on Starbucks’ coffee house business, don’t provide the market share for single cup brewing at home.  The coffee shop market share will be the most relevant data to provide.
·         You must provide a chart of market share in this section of your paper.  Make sure your chart has the proper internal citations in your paper.  Here is a good site for help with that: http://libguides.gwumc.edu/c.php?g=27779&p=170358

·         Don’t forget to show the trend in market share over time!  Has it been stable for many years or is something changing the competitive landscape in the industry?

Now that you have found the market share for your industry, here are some other tips to help you write the overall market section of your paper.

ECO-201 Milestone One Tips and Examples

Part I: Critical Element “Purpose” In order to receive a score of proficient (100%) on Milestone One you’ll need to outline the purpose of your paper and state how it will inform the conclusion. The best way to do this is to view the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric , paying particular attention to the Prompt and Critical Elements that will be addressed in your paper. When you turn in your final paper, in order to earn a score of exemplary (100%) you’ll also need to use industry-specific language to establish expertise. I recommend trying to write Milestone One as if it were your final paper, so that you can benefit from the feedback before your final paper is due. Below is an example of an introduction that would receive an exemplary score for The Hershey Company. Please keep in mind the following points as you work on your introduction: -The text in italics indicates where the purpose of the paper is outlined. -The underlined text indicates how the conclusion will be informed....

Tips on ECO-201 Milestones Two and Three: Help With Using Financial Statements

Target (Example) • For finding Revenue you should find the Income Statement for your firm. The Income Statement (example below) is where you will find Revenues (needed for Milestone Two), Costs (needed for Milestone Three), and Net Earnings (or “Profit”). The first line will show you the revenue (or sales) and the line immediately below the total sales will show you the Costs of Goods Sold (COGS). Sometimes this is also called Cost of Revenue or Cost of Sales. These are the VARIABLE COSTS that your firms face, which is important in Milestone 3! Right beneath your variable costs you should see Selling General and Administrative expenses (SG&A), which are your FIXED COSTS. There is another post that explains why fixed and variable costs differ, but for now I want to focus on where you will see these costs on your Income Statement. • Notice for Total Revenues it shows from 2009 to 2014. If there isn’t a chart provided in the income statement that shows that trend you’ll need to cre...
