Entries provide information on founders; expansions and losses; labour/management actions; NAIC codes; key dates; ticker symbol; principal subsidiaries; principal divisions; principal operating units; principle competitors; and other significant milestones, all peppered with statistics, dates and names of key players. Volumes one to six are organized alphabetically by major industries; volume seven and subsequent volumes are arranged alphabetically by company name within each volume. Each volume includes a cumulative index to companies and personal names. Volume seven and subsequent volumes include a cumulative index to industries. The histories were compiled from publicly accessible sources, as well as from material supplied by the companies themselves. Entries on companies that have had major changes since they were last profiled may be selected for updating. Starting with volume 37 a geographical index to companies sorted by country of head office is included. The index includes country name, an alphabetical list of companies from that country, and the volume number where the company profile can be found.
