BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

China's bird flu outbreak affecting businesses worldwide

April 19, 2013 Reprints

Industries worldwide are being affected as a result of China's bird-flu outbreak, Bloomberg reported. Ding Shuang, an economist at Citigroup Inc., said that he sees a risk of "short-term volatilities" in inflation and growth.

The publicity associated with the flu has affected the sales of Louisville-based KFC Corp., whose parent company Yum! Brands Inc. has more than 5,200 stores in China. China Spring Tour, a travel agency, witnessed a 30% to 35% dip in the number of travelers to Shanghai and the neighboring areas in the first 10 days of April.
