There are many different types of industry. We can classify industry into three main categories:
Secondary
These industries provide a service.
These industries extract raw materials directly from the earth or sea.
These industries process and manufacture products from raw materials.
Primary Tertiary

There are also quaternary industries.
These industries incorporate a high degree of research and technology in their processes and employ highly qualified people.
Biotechnology and computer programming are examples of quaternary industries.

The balance of jobs between the three categories in a particular area or country is called the employment structure.
A major reason for some changes in employment structure is mechanization – the use of machines to do jobs rather than people.

Think of industry as a cake-making process!
For a company to be profitable, the value of the outputs must be greater than the cost of the inputs.
INPUTS PROCESSES OUTPUTSThese can be physical, human and economic inputs.
These are the activities that are involved.
These are the finished products and any waste.
