When researching a presentation about a national shipping business, the most detailed and comprehensive source of information about the top management of the company and its competitors would most likely be:

  1. Hoovers.com

  2. LexisNexis.com

  3. Microfilm records from local newspapers

  4. The catalogue at your local library

The correct answer is: Hoovers.com

Hoovers.com is recognized as a leading database for in-depth information on businesses, including detailed profiles of top management and competitive analysis. It provides comprehensive data such as executive biographies, company financials, industry information, and insights into corporate strategies. This makes it a valuable resource for someone conducting research on a national shipping business and its competitors. In contrast, LexisNexis.com offers a wide range of legal and news information that might include corporate news but may not provide the same level of focused management details specific to companies. Microfilm records from local newspapers would typically focus on community news and may not have exhaustive information on national businesses or their executive teams. The catalogue at a local library would primarily direct you towards books and articles but would not offer the extensive and up-to-date data regarding company management and competitors that specialized databases like Hoovers provide.
