MB knowledge
As a lecturer I found it amazing how difficult it is to find good material for the students that are based on empirical findings.

Most research companies treat their knowledge in a proprietara way seldom showing their databases.

Millward Brown makes their knowledge available on their website, as a contribution to the industry they serve.

You can download some very valiable artices here.
Students need relevant information for many assignments.
