IndustryBuildingBlocks.com provides industry sector information and line-of-business information for the Top 12,000 global industries.
"An industry is a market in which similar or closely related products (or services) are sold to buyers." - Michael E. Porter "Competitive Advantage"
IndustryBuildingBlocks.com begins with the Industry Building Blocks Classification SystemTM - our proprietary global industry taxonomy of 12,000+ non-overlapping strategically relevant industries which account for more than 98% of the global economy.
All industry information has been generated through intensive market research - and not the result of computer-to-computer access and reformatting of company reported data.
Company Mission
Our mission is to holistically define the world's economy by industry for the Top 12,000 industries, thus providing the best business tool and information resource for understanding and analyzing the global economy. Albert Einstein once said, “Make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler." With that advice, there is NO fixed (forced)hierarchy used by the Industry Building Blocks Classification System. You can select and group the 12,000 industries as you require.
Using the industry classification system developed above, our mission includes holistically defining all leading global companies by line of business, thus providing suiperior intelligence for analyzing companies and making executive decisions.
