The standard APA guides (see Citation Styles and Guides) will help with articles and books, but you may not find examples or specific guidelines for some specialized business resources. Just use your best judgment based what you know about APA and be consistent. Here are some examples:

Let the databases do some of the work. Many of the databases on the Databases A-Z list have an internal feature that will produce a citation in various styles. Look for a link or icon titled "cite" or "save, print, email." You will have to check for accuracy, but it is a great way to get started.
