In the SF I'm working at as an intern, we are going to start searching for deals with a top-down approach. That is, analyzing industries and then looking for potencial deals within those industries.

Any advice regarding Industry Analysis? Processes, checklists, ways of structuring the analysis...

Thanks in advance!!

Several on here have mentioned IBISWorld - I'd be more than happy to share with you what we have to offer and the specialized tools available to searchers - just send me a message and we can set something up. Just a side note - I'd advise against having a student jeopardize their academic standing, along with their universities membership, to solicit research from them.
