    Charlie--

    I have to agree with George. Everything is *not* available on the web or
    even on the Internet. Sure, public company records are but much of the
    rest (that is relevant to management students) is whatever someone thinks
    will help to sell whatever he or she sells. When my students opt to
    study the challenges of virtual teams, I don't want to see a report
    based solely on advertisements of training programs by consulting firms
    and chapter headings from academics. Those result in a very superficial
    understanding of the issues, at best. They generally need to dig into
    texts and journal articles in the library to get further than that.
