Business source premier

Good place to search for articles from professional journals not found on Google Scholar as well as academic articles. Click on the peer-reviewed button if you only want academic articles. In addition there are some country and market reports, with company profiles under a separate tab.

Science direct

in spite of its name, this database has thousands of articles on business and management topics.

Emerald fulltext

Emerald journals are all from the same publisher. Best results found if you do an advanced search. There you can also choose to search just for case studies or literature reviews.

Web of knowledge (ISI)

The strength of this database lies in the fact that it indexes leading journals and in the Web of Science it has a sophisticated Cited Reference Search which allows you to harvest a large collection of related material starting with one known article

If you are seriously interested in seeing how Business journals are ranked go to the Journal Quality List site which collates the various rankings which are produced.
