Group (and Target) Industries By:

Text in the Industry Name (Ex: “Consulting”)

Industry Revenue or Industry Attractiveness Score

Targeted Customers (Ex: “Banks” or “Consumers”)

Buyer Type (Ex: “CIO” or “Sales Exec” or “Student”)

Economic Trend (Ex: “New Business Starts”)

Technology Trend (Ex: “Internet of Things”)

And by thousands more selection criteria

IBB Provides an Unlimited Number of Ways to

Group (and Target) the 17,000 Granular Industries

One or more products and / or services that are direct substitutes

Sold by one or more businesses

To one or more external customers

Requires similar activities to produce the product or provide the service. (Hence:

IT Consulting - Data Center Consulting Services

Managed Data Center Services

are distinct industries)

A Working Definition of “Industry” for Those Not

Familiar with Porter’s Five Forces Model

A Molecule & A Chemical Element

Examples of Industry Groups:

• IT Industry

• IT Hardware & Peripherals

• IT Storage Systems

• PC & Laptop Storage Products

An Example of An Industry:

• Internal PC Hard Disk Drive Manufacturing

13


The Difference Between An Industry Group &

An Industry, Is Like the Difference Between…

An “Industry

Group” =

Two or more

Industries

An “Industry”

Is the Right

Level for a

Five Forces

Analysis

Mobile Phone Chip Manufacturing Vs. Game Processor Chip Manufacturing

Eye Tracking Software Vs. Face Recognition Software

Cloud Computing Database as a Service Vs. Cloud Computing IoT Internet of Things Platform

All-In-One PC Manufacturing Vs. High-Performance Gaming PC Manufacturing

Augmented Reality Software Developers Kits Vs. Game Development Software Developers Kits

14


To Highlight IBB’s Precision, IBB Views Each of the

Industries Below as Distinct

Each of these

IBB “Industries”

Deserves a Full

Industry Analysis

IBB, Unlike Most Other Industry Classification Systems,

Does Not Lump Together Any of the Industries Below

Each (7 page) Industry Analysis Provides the

Following Categories of Information

Industry Revenue Competitors, by: • Top Corporate Parent

• Immediate Parent

• Brand

Industry Attractiveness

Product Segments

Customer Segments

Channel Segments Industry Substitutes

End Users Industry Complements

Industry Trends Industry Vendor Types

Economic Trends Buyer Purchase Criteria

Geopolitical Trends & More, including keywords*

* For optional link to DiscoveryPatterns.com

Ability to segment any global market arena into its component industries to better address market opportunities.

Ability to group any combination of industries to analyze any ecosystem.

Enhanced ability to commercialize new ideas and products by quickly finding the relevant industry players.

Superior ability to objectively analyze competitors across all product lines to compete on a more holistic basis.

Side-by-side company comparisons at the line of business level (using data normalized with the IBBCS) to facilitate better marketing and planning processes overall because of the granularity.

Better corporate training because every industry and company is analyzed using the same framework.

16


Line-of-Business (Industry Five Forces) Level

Information Offers Many Advantages

Industry Group Analysis / Market Area Analysis (A list of industries which make up the general market)

Industry Analysis Report (A seven page PDF analyzing one specific industry)

Company Lines-of-Business Summary Report (An objective list of industries the company competes in)

Company Lines-of-Business Detailed Analysis (An objective list of industries the company competes in with a seven-page Industry Analysis or a one-page Industry Summary for each of the company’s lines of business)

Companies Side-by-Side Analysis (Compares ten companies or fewer, by line-of-business)

Decision Makers Want Information That Enables

Them To Make Better Decisions Definitions of the term “Industry”

Industry (used loosely)

Anything you want it to mean. For example:

– The IT “industry” includes

the IT Hardware & Peripherals “industry” which includes

the IT Storage Systems “industry” which includes

the PC & Laptop Storage “industry” which includes

the Internal PC Hard Disk Drive Manufacturing “industry”

(Strategically

Relevant)

Industry

1. A definition for strategic planners & industry analysts:

The right level to conduct an industry analysis.

– For example: a Michael Porter 5-forces industry analysis.

Example: Internal PC Hard Disk Drive Manufacturing Industry

2. A definition for those not familiar with industry analyses:

One or more products and/or services that are direct substitutes sold by one or more businesses to one or more external customers (and where the processes for manufacturing the product,

or for providing the service, are similar).

Sounds obvious.

I hope our strategy and

marketing teams know

the specific industries

that we compete in.

Compare

competitors

at the

LoB level.

Prior to Now, Company & Industry Information

Came From Three Basic Categories of Vendors

There are hundreds of

vendors that provide

information on companies -

and they group the companies

into “ industry sectors .”

This “industry sector data” is

usually at way too high a level

to be actionable.

There are many data vendors

that use NAICS (and old) SIC

codes in providing industry and

company data. These coding

schemes are also at too high a

level to meet the needs of most

decision makers.

Niche (often premium) vendors for industry and

company information are typically focused on a

narrow set of industries and / or they only cover a

limited geographic area.
