Thereby, we compensate the dentists in our dental email list with the on-going affiliations by providing them with the current updates of e-newsletters and to the subject promotion.
PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON• Physicians and surgeons diagnose and treat injuries or illnesses.
Physicians examine patients; take medical histories; prescribe medications; and order, perform, and interpret diagnostic tests. They counsel patients on diet, hygiene, and preventive healthcare.
• Surgeons operate on patients to treat injuries, such as broken bones; diseases, such as cancerous tumors; and deformities, such as cleft palates.
Work EnvironmentMany physicians work in private offices or clinics, often with administrative and healthcare personnel.Surgical instruments can be generally divided into six classes by function. These classes are:•Cutting instruments•Grasping or holding instruments•Haemostatic forceps (instruments used to stop blood flow)•Retractors•Clamps and distractors•Accessories and implants
PHARMACEUTICAL
• The pharmaceutical industry develops, produces, and markets drugs or pharmaceuticals for use as medications. Pharmaceutical companies may deal in generic or brand medications and medical devices.
• Drug discovery is the process by which potential drugs are discovered or designed. In the past most drugs have been discovered either by isolating the active ingredient from traditional remedies or by serendipitous discovery. Modern biotechnology often focuses on understanding the metabolic pathways related to a disease state or pathogen, and manipulating these pathways using molecular biology or biochemistry. A great deal of early-stage drug discovery has traditionally been carried out by universities and research institutions.
• Drug development refers to activities undertaken after a compound is identified as a potential drug in order to establish its suitability as a medication. Objectives of drug development are to determine appropriate formulation and dosing, as well as to establish safety. Research in these areas generally includes a combination of in vitro studies, in vivo studies, and clinical trials. The cost of late stage development has meant it is usually done by the larger pharmaceutical companies.
APPROVED DRUGS • The FDA provides information about approved drugs at the Orange Book site.[
• In the UK, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency approves drugs for use, though the evaluation is done by the European Medicines Agency, an agency of the European Union based in London.
• Normally an approval in the UK and other European countries comes later than one in the USA. Then it is the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), for England and Wales, who decides if and how the National Health Service (NHS) will allow (in the sense of paying for) their use. The British National Formulary is the core guide for pharmacists and clinicians.
• In many non-US western countries a 'fourth hurdle' of cost effectiveness analysis has developed before new technologies can be provided. This focuses on the efficiency (in terms of the cost per QALY) of the technologies in question rather than their efficacy. In England and Wales NICE decides whether and in what circumstances drugs and technologies will be made available by the NHS, whilst similar arrangements exist with the Scottish Medicines Consortium in Scotland, and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee in Australia. A product must pass the threshold for cost-effectiveness if it is to be approved. Treatments must represent 'value for money' and a net benefit to society
MARKETING• Advertising is common in healthcare journals as well as through
more mainstream media routes. In some countries, notably the US, they are allowed to advertise directly to the general public.
• Pharmaceutical companies generally employ sales people (often called 'drug reps' or, an older term, 'detail men') to market directly and personally to physicians and other healthcare providers. In some countries, notably the US, pharmaceutical companies also employ lobbyists to influence politicians. Marketing of prescription drugs in the US is regulated by the federal Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987.
To healthcare professionals• The book Bad Pharma also discusses the influence of drug
representatives, how ghost writers are employed by the drug companies to write papers for academics to publish, how independent the academic journals really are, how the drug companies finance doctors' continuing education, and how patients' groups are often funded by industry.[107]
Direct to consumer advertising[edit]• Main article: Direct-to-consumer advertising• Since the 1980s new methods of marketing for prescription drugs
to consumers have become important. Direct-to-consumer media advertising was legalised in the FDA Guidance for Industry on Consumer-Directed Broadcast Advertisements.
BIOTECHNOLOGY
COMMON APPLICATIONS OF BIOTECHNOLOGYAGRICULTUREImproved foods, pest control, plant and animal disease control, improved food production.
INDUSTRYOil/mineral recovery, environmental protection, waste reduction. Improved detergents, chemicals, stronger textiles.
HEALTH CAREDrugs, vaccines, gene therapy, tissue replacements.
RESEARCHUnderstanding the human genome and better detection of diseases.
HEALTHCARE: Biotech combines nature’s own toolbox with our improved understanding of the human genome to produce medicines and vaccines that help both the prevention and cure of diseases, many of them previously untreatable, as well as helping reduce the side effects of medications by tailoring treatments to individuals.
Energy & Industrial: Biotech uses biological processes such as fermentation and harnesses biocatalysts such as enzymes and yeast to become microscopic manufacturing plants.
These processes can be used to produce biofuels from biomass that can help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions, lower the temperature that we clean clothes at in our washing machines, as well as improve efficiency in the manufacturing and water distribution industries, which all contributes to lower energy consumption.
AGRICULTURE: Biotech is utilized in the agricultural sector to improve crop resistance to insects thereby increasing yield and reducing the need for chemical pesticides that cause environmental harm. Biotech can also improve the nutritional qualities of food by producing crops that are free from toxins and allergens and increasing vitamins content of crops to treat deficiencies.
The 4 main areas of the world where biotech companies are concentrated at present are the • US,• Europe, • Canada and• Australia.
Due to the highly R&D intensive nature of the biotech industry, there are only a small number of revenue generating publicly listed firms, with a long tail of smaller development stage privately-owned companies.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY(USERS OF DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS MICROSOFT, SAP, SAGE)
The information technology (IT) industry has become of the most robust industries in the world. IT, more than any other industry or economic facet, has an increased productivity, particularly in the developed world, and therefore is a key driver of global economic growth. Economies of scale and insatiable demand from both consumers and enterprises characterize this rapidly growing sector.• Expanding their portfolios beyond existing on-premise• Microsoft,• SAP and • Sage solutions in many cases, These new NetSuite partners offer deep ERP experience and vertical industry- and business process-specific expertise to help client organizations capitalize on the power of cloud computing to transform business operations in a broad range of industries with agility and speed not otherwise possible with on-premise solutions.
MAJOR STEPS TAKEN FOR PROMTION OF IT INDUSTRY
Domain of the IT IndustryA wide variety of services come under the domain of the information technology industry. Some of these services are as follows: • Systems architecture• Database design and development• Networking• Application development• Testing• Documentation• Maintenance and hosting• Operational support• Security services
TRANSPORTATION & LOGISTICS INDUSTRY(TRUCKING, FREIGHT, RAIL, AND AIR CARGO)
TRANSPORTATION & LOGISTICS INDUSTRY
• Global passenger demand is on the rise both in mature and emerging markets, where the population is becoming increasingly affluent and mobile. Despite the growing number of bicycles, motorcycles, coaches, trains, planes and even cruise ships in use, the automobile is still the most popular form of passenger travel
• In terms of cargo transportation, trade relations between China, North America and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) are forecast to drive up traffic demand over the coming years. While cargo aircraft are often used to transport mail, animals and dangerous items, bulk products are typically carried by railways, trucks and ships.
• In the logistics industry, intermodal freight traffic is the most common
choice to move consumer goods. Intermodal transport facilitates and expedites cargo traffic because the freight is shipped in containers that move interchangeably by commercial vehicles, railroads and container ships.
MINING & DRILLING INDUSTRY(COAL MINING, DRILLING CONTRACTORS, MINING OF METALS)
• Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth from an orebody, lode, vein, seam, reef or placer deposits which forms the mineralized package of economic interest to the miner.
• Ores recovered by mining include metals, coal, oil shale, gemstones, limestone, dimension stone, rock salt, potash, gravel, and clay. Mining is required to obtain any material that cannot be grown through agricultural processes, or created artificially in a laboratory or factory.
• Mining in a wider sense includes extraction of any non-renewable resource such as petroleum, natural gas, or even water.
OVERVIEW OF DRILLING SERVICES INDUSTRY • The drilling services industry is a contract industry which provides third-
party drilling services to mining industry participants and customers in various other fields. Drilling services are employed by mining companies throughout all phases of a project’s lifecycle, including: • exploration, resource evaluation and feasibility studies; • capital project and development; and • production.
• During a project’s exploration phase, drilling services companies are employed to extract rock chip and/or core samples to determine the presence, size, continuity and grade of a mineral deposit.
• Successful exploration projects that progress to underground capital project and production stages depend on specialised drilling services for establishment and expansion of ore passes and ventilation shafts.
• Additionally, mining companies utilise exploration stage drilling service providers for ongoing geotechnical work, including critical information on rock mechanics and ore grade control.
OIL & GAS INDUSTRY(OIL & GAS EXPLORATION AND EXTRACTION, PETROLEUM)
This is a list of selected petroleum (crude oil) exploration and production companies (petroleum industry) in alphabetical order. This list does not include companies involved in refining and marketing only.• Africa• Asia• Europe• North America• Oceania• South America• From a personal perspective, oil and gas provide the world's 7 billion
people with 60 percent of their daily energy needs. The other 40 percent comes from coal, nuclear and hydroelectric power, "renewables" like wind, solar and tidal power, and biomass products such as firewood.
• As fuels, they keep us warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather; they cook our food and heat our water; they generate our electricity and power our appliances; and they take us by car, bus, train, ship or plane to places near and distant. We all feel the economic pinch when the prices of gasoline, home heating fuel or electricity increase sharply, even though in many developed countries, they still cost less than some brands of bottled water!
PETROLEUM INDUSTRY • The petroleum industry includes the global processes
of exploration, extraction, refining, transporting (often by oil tankers and pipelines), and marketing petroleum products. The largest volume products of the industry are fuel oil and gasoline (petrol). Petroleum (oil) is also the raw material for many chemical products, including pharmaceuticals, solvents, fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics.
The industry is usually divided into three major components: . upstream, midstream and downstream. Midstream operations are usually included in the downstream category
IN INDIA• Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation• Oil and Natural Gas Corporation• Oil India• Essar Oil• Reliance Industries• Cairn India
The Oil & Gas Exploration & Production industry consists of companies that are engaged in the exploration and extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas. The industry also consists of the recovery of butane, ethane and natural liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) recovered from oil and gas fields. The Oil & Gas Exploration and Production industry excludes exploration services on a contract basis, classified in Oil Related Services & Equipment; and exploration and production with substantial refining operations, classified in Integrated Oil & Gas.
HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY(LODGING, TOURISM, HOTELS)
The hospitality industry is a broad category of fields within the service industry that includes• Lodging, • Event Planning, • Theme Parks, • Transportation,• Cruise Line, And • Tourism Industry.
• The hospitality industry is a multibillion-dollar industry that depends on the availability of leisure time and disposable income. A hospitality unit such as a restaurant, hotel, or an amusement park consists of multiple groups such as facility maintenance and direct operations (servers, housekeepers, porters, kitchen workers, bartenders, management, marketing, and human resources etc.).
• Usage rate, or its inverse "vacancy rate", is an important variable for the hospitality industry. Just as a factory owner would wish a productive asset to be in use as much as possible (as opposed to having to pay fixed costs while the factory is not producing), so do restaurants, hotels, and theme parks seek to maximize the number of customers they "process" in all sectors.
• This led to formation of services with the aim to increase usage rate provided by hotel consolidators. Information about required or offered products are brokered on business networks used by vendors as well as purchasers.
HOSPITALITY AND RESTAURANT INDUSTRY• The hospitality and restaurant industry is a diverse and highly competitive
industry. Among the competitors in the industry are single sandwich shops, coffee shops and restaurants, coffeehouses, pizza and quick-service restaurant chains, and also high-end, luxury fine-dining restaurants, offering the customer a vast variety of choices.
• Most people think that hotels alone belong to the hospitality industry, but hotels are only one sector of this industry. Many forms of transportation that cater to tourists are also part of this business world. For example, this niche includes airlines, cruise ships and even fancier trains. Restaurants, general tourism and event planning also belong to this niche.
• Some of these businesses partially belong to the hospitality industry. For example, a fast food restaurant would be considered convenient. A restaurant that provides fancy food with amazing service would be providing a hospitality service
• Estimations put the overall revenue from food and drink sales in the United States at more than 600 billion U.S. dollars. Major players in the industry include McDonald’s (limited-service segment) with more than 34 thousand restaurants worldwide, the coffeehouse chain Starbucks – with more than 19 thousand stores worldwide – and Domino’s Pizza in the pizza chain segment.
HOTEL AND LODGING INDUSTRYThe hotel and lodging industry is a dynamic subset of the hospitality industry. Properties regarding this industry can go from the smallest overnight stay motel to mamouth Las Vegas style properties that offer almost every sector of related goods and sevices in the hopitality industry along with other ammenities.AMERICAN HOTEL & LODGING ASSOCIATION• "Serving the hospitality industry for nearly a century, AH&LA is the sole
national association representing all sectors and stakeholders in the lodging industry, including individual hotel property members, hotel companies, student and faculty members, and industry suppliers."
AMERICAN HOTEL & LODGING ASSOCIATION EDUCATION FOUNDATION“ • The American Hotel & Lodging Educational Foundation (AH&LEF) is
building tomorrow's hotel industry- and the talent to fuel it. In our increasingly complex business, research and education are crucial to ensuring the lodging industry continues to thrive."
INTERNATIONAL HOTEL RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION • "IH&RA – the International Hotel & Restaurant Association – is the only
global business organization representing the hospitality industry worldwide.Officially recognized by the United Nations, IH&RA monitors and lobbies all international agencies on behalf of this industry, estimated to comprise 300,000 hotels and 8 million restaurants, employ 60 million people and contribute 950 billion USD annually to the global economy."
GREEN HOTELS ASSOCIATION "Hotels, motels, inns, bed and breakfasts, and all other lodging establishments with an interest in protecting the environment. Encourages, promotes and supports ecological consciousness in the hospitality industry."
Lodging (or a holiday accommodation) is a type of residential accommodation. People who travel and stay away from home for more than a day need lodging for sleep, rest, safety, shelter from cold temperatures or rain, storage of luggage and access to common household functions.[1]
• Lodgings may be self-catering, in which case no food is provided, but cooking facilities are available.
• Lodging is done in a hotel, motel, hostel or hostal, a private home (commercial, i.e. a bed and breakfast, a guest house, a vacation rental, or non-commercially, with members of hospitality services or in the home of friends), in a tent, caravan/camper (often on a campsite).
TRAVEL & TOURISM• As we move into a global economy tourism plays a large part in how
people spend their time regarding leisure and business. As with other sectors of the Hospitality industry the travel industry is extremely interwoven with the different sectors. Employment is vast and always changing with technology. Employment can come from travel agencies, modes of transportation such as the airline industry, travel and tour guides, and any type of businesses and fields related to those areas. It is a fast paced sector that is always changing with the times and the economy. An open mind to change and an inherent ability to communicate and work with others is a must in this sector.

AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY(AUTOMOBILE DEALERS, AUTO PARTS MANUFACTURERS)
The automotive industry is a wide range of companies and organizations involved in the• Design, • Development, • Manufacturing, • Marketing, And • Selling Of Motor Vehicles.
AUTOMOBILE DEALERSHIP• It is one of the world's most important economic
sectors by revenue. The automotive industry does not include industries dedicated to the maintenance of automobiles following delivery to the end-user, such as automobile repair shops and motor fuel filling stations.
• Automobile dealerships are the real estate that the automotive
industry uses to sell its products. Information published by the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) indicates that the number of franchised new car dealerships peaked in 1949 at 49,200 and has declined almost every year since. According to Urban Science, the number of dealerships was down to 17,838 at the end of 2013.
• The decline in inventory was particularly sharp from 2008 to
2010. No material changes in the supply of dealerships have occurred since then. From a physical aspect, the improvements for an auto dealership may be in one or multiple buildings and typically include a showroom area, offices for both sales and administrative functions, service areas, and waiting areas or lounges. Service areas may include a collision shop or an automated car wash.
THIS ARTICLE WILL COVER THE FOLLOWING TOPICS
• Definitions of terms relevant to automobile dealerships• How dealership franchises work • The profile of a typical automobile dealer • The components of an automobile dealership • Dealerships that sell single brands versus those that sell multiple brands• The European dealership model and how it applies to the United States
• How Dealership Franchises Work Since the automotive industry’s inception,
manufacturers (commonly known as OEMs, which is an acronym for original equipment manufacturer) have focused on vehicle design, manufacturing, and brand promotion.
• Consistent with that business plan and recognizing that the sale of vehicles
generates demand for corollary services such as leasing, financing, and repairs, retail distribution is done through a network of independent dealers (or, more specifically, dealership operating companies).
GLOBAL AUTO PARTS & ACCESSORIES MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
Companies in this industry manufacture motor vehicle parts and accessories other than engines, engines parts, batteries, tires, bodies and chassis.

MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY( FOOD, CHEMICALS, SPORTS GOODS ETC.)
The Food Industry is a complex, global collective of diverse businesses that supply most of the food consumed by the world population. Only subsistence farmers, those who survive on what they grow, can be considered outside of the scope of the modern food industry.
Manufacturing is the production of merchandise for use or sale using labour and machines, tools, chemical and biological processing, or formulation. The term may refer to a range of human activity, from handicraft to high tech, but is most commonly applied to industrial production, in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale.
THE FOOD INDUSTRY INCLUDES:Agriculture: raising of crops and livestock, and seafoodManufacturing: agrichemicals, agricultural construction, farm machinery and supplies, seed, etc.
Food processing: preparation of fresh products for market, and manufacture of prepared food products
Marketing: promotion of generic products (e.g., milk board), new products, advertising, marketing campaigns, packaging, public relations, etc.
Wholesale and distribution: logistics, transportation, warehousingFoodservice (which includes Catering)Grocery, farmers' markets, public markets and other retailing
Regulation: local, regional, national, and international rules and regulations for food make you increase sperm production and sale, including food quality, food safety, marketing/advertising, and industry lobbying activities
Education: academic, consultancy, vocationalResearch and development: food technology
CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
• The chemical industry comprises the companies that produce industrial chemicals. Central to the modern world economy, it converts raw materials (oil, natural gas, air, water, metals, and minerals) into more than 70,000 different products.
• The chemical sector is one of the most influential industries worldwide.• This is because many industries – the plastics industry, food industry,
automobile industry, glass industry, building industry, and many more – are highly dependent on chemical materials. The chemical industry includes, first of all, all inorganic chemistry, agricultural chemistry, and petrochemicals.
• Further, the plastics and rubber industry, and the paper industry are part of this category. Although it is very close to chemistry, pharmaceuticals are a separate branch in this categorization.
The Products Of The Chemical Industry Can Be Divided Into Three Categories:• Basic chemicals• Speciality chemicals• Consumer chemicalsSeveral other categorisations are used but this one is simple and helpful in the context of this web site. Outputs range widely, with basic chemicals produced in huge quantities (millions of tonnes) and some speciality chemicals produced in modest kilogramme quantities but with very high value. As explained in the unit on Chemical Reactors, the choice of reactor is often goverened by the amount of chemical that is to be produced.Basic chemicalsBasic chemicals are divided intochemicals derived from oil, known as petrochemicalspolymersbasic inorganicsThe term ‘petrochemical’ can be misleading as the same chemicals are increasingly being derived from sources other than oil, such as coal and biomass. An example is methanol, commonly produced from oil and natural gas in the US and Europe but from coal in China. Another is poly(ethene), derived from oil and gas in the US and Europe but increasingly from biomass in Brazil. Other examples are described in the units on this web site.
Basic chemicals, produced in large quantities, are mainly sold within the chemical industry and to other industries before becoming products for the general consumer. For example, ethanoic acid is sold on to make esters, much of which in turn is sold to make paints and at that point sold to the consumer.
.
Petrochemicals and polymersThe production of chemicals from petroleum (and increasingly from coal and biomass) has seen many technological changes and the development of very large production sites throughout the world. The hydrocarbons in crude oil and gas, which are mainly straight chain alkanes, are first separated using their differences in boiling point, as is described in the unit Distillation. They are then converted to hydrocarbons that are more useful to the chemical industry, such as branched chain alkanes, alkenes and aromatic hydrocarbons. These processes are described in the unit, Cracking and related refinery processes.Basic inorganicsThese are relatively low cost chemicals used throughout manufacturing and agriculture. They are produced in very large amounts, some in millions of tonnes a year, and include chlorine, sodium hydroxide, sulfuric and nitric acids and chemicals for fertilizers. As with petrochemicals, many emerging countries are now able to produce them more cheaply than companies based in the US and Europe. This has led to tough competition and producers of these chemicals worldwide work continuously to reduce costs while meeting ever more stringent environmental and safety standards.
Speciality chemicalsThis category covers a wide variety of chemicals for crop protection, paints and inks, colorants (dyes and pigments). It also includes chemicals used by industries as diverse as textiles, paper and engineering. There has been a tendency in the US and Europe to focus on this sector rather than the basic chemicals discussed above because it is thought that, with active research and development (R & D), speciality chemicals deliver better and more stable profitability. New products are being created to meet both customer needs and new environmental regulations. An everyday example is household paints which have evolved from being organic solvent-based to being water-based. Another is the latest ink developed for ink-jet printers.Units on selected speciality chemicals can be found within the Materials and Applications section of this site.Consumer chemicalsConsumer chemicals are sold directly to the public. They include, for example, detergents, soaps and other toiletries. The search for more effective and environmentally safe detergents has increased over the last 20 years, particularly in finding surfactants that are capable of cleaning anything from sensitive skin to large industrial plants. Parallel to this, much work has been done in producing a wider range of synthetic chemicals for toiletries, cosmetics and fragrances.Units on selected consumer chemicals can be found within the Materials and Applications section
SPORTS GOODS

COMMERCIAL BANKING SERVICES• A "commercial bank" is what is commonly referred to as simply a bank. The
term "commercial" is used to distinguish it from an "investment bank," a type of financial services entity which, instead of lending money directly to a business, helps businesses raise money from other firms in the form of bonds (debt) or stock (equity).
• The primary operations of banks include:• Keeping money safe while also allowing withdrawals when needed• Issuance of chequebooks so that bills can be paid and other kinds of
payments can be delivered by post• Provide personal loans, commercial loans, and mortgage loans (typically
loans to purchase a home, property or business)• Issuance of credit cards and processing of credit card transactions and billing• Issuance of debit cards for use as a substitute for cheques• Allow financial transactions at branches or by using Automatic Teller
Machines (ATMs)• Provide wire transfers of funds and Electronic fund transfers between banks• Facilitation of standing orders and direct debits, so payments for bills can be
made automatically
• Provide overdraft agreements for the temporary advancement of the bank's own money to meet monthly spending commitments of a customer in their current account.
• Provide internet banking system to facilitate the customers to view and operate their respective accounts through internet.
• Provide charge card advances of the bank's own money for customers wishing to settle credit advances monthly.
• Provide a check guaranteed by the bank itself and prepaid by the customer, such as a cashier's check or certified check.
• Notary service for financial and other documents• Accepting the deposits from customer and provide the credit facilities to
them.INVESTMENT BANKING SERVICES• An investment bank is a financial institution that assists individuals,
corporations, and governments in raising financial capital byunderwriting or acting as the client's agent in the issuance of securities.
• An investment bank may also assist companies involved inmergers and acquisitions (M&A) and provide ancillary services such as market making, trading of derivatives and equity securities, and FICC services (fixed income instruments, currencies, and commodities).
Capital markets services Private banking Brokerage
CREDIT UNIONCredit unions are similar to traditional banks in the sense that both institutions offer financial products to customers. Credit union members, like bank customers, have access to checking and savings accounts, CDs, loan products, and credit cards.
Advantages of a Credit Union• Higher Interest Rates• Lower Loan & Credit Card Rates• Lower Fees• Customer Focused Banking• Better Service• Better Service• More Flexibility• Fewer Complications
Disadvantages of a Credit Union• Fewer Options• Inconvenience with Less Locations• Poor Online Services
RETAILS INDUSTRY(APPAREL & ACCESSORY SUPPLIERS, RETAILERS,
DISTRIBUTORS)
Retail is the process of selling consumer goods and/or services to customers through multiple channels of distribution to earn a profit. Demand is created through diverse target markets and promotional tactics, satisfying consumers' wants and needs through a lean supply chain.
Selling retail apparel, including clothing, accessories and footwear, is a multibillion-dollar industry. If you’re thinking of opening a clothing store, an eye for fashion and a desire to sell your own designs or offer a variety of name-brand apparel are just the start. You also need to analyze the industry to find out if the potential for selling apparel, footwear and all the goodies that go with it is a solid, moneymaking idea.
MARKET• A number of large, well-branded retailers make up a chunk of the apparel
market, but many smaller businesses, such as boutique and niche apparel stores, are part of the market, too. The larger apparel retailers have an advantage over smaller shops since they get better pricing from suppliers because they buy such large quantities of apparel.
• That means their profit margin is greater and they can offer better retail pricing to their customers. Smaller apparel retailers make up for the high pricing they pay for wholesale retail apparel by selling certain types and styles of clothing rather than offering everything for everyone like many larger apparel stores.
RETAIL IS USUALLY CLASSIFIED BY TYPE OF PRODUCTS AS FOLLOWS:• Food products — typically require cold storage facilities.• Hard goods or durable goods
("hardline retailers")
automobiles, appliances, electronics, furniture, sporting goods, lumber, etc., and parts for them. Goods that do not quickly wear out and provide utility over time.
• Soft goods or consumables clothing, other fabrics, footwear, cosmetics, medicines and stationery. Goods that are consumed after one use or have a limited period (typically under three years) in which you may use them.
• Arts — Contemporary art galleries, Bookstores, Handicrafts, Musical instruments, Gift shops, and supplies for them.
TYPES OF MAJOR RETAIL OUTLETS: • Departmental Stores:A departmental store offers several product lines such as clothing, home furnishing and household goods under one roof. Each line operates as a separate department. • Speciality Stores:A specialty store concentrates on a narrow product line or a specialized product line; for example, foot wear and jewellery.• Supermarket:A supermarket provides relatively large low-cost, low-margin, high-volume, self-service operation; for example. Big Bazar.• Convenience Stores:A convenience store is conveniently located in suburban areas and charges a slightly higher price and provides groceries and non-food items.• Discount Stores:A discount store offers standard merchandise at low price with low margin and high volume.• Factory Outlets:A factory outlet is opened and operated by manufacturers, and sells surplus or discounted goods.• Shopping Malls:Shopping malls are the new format of retail outlets. They provide several products under one roof .They also provide means of entertainment such as mini theatre and food courts.
DISTRIBUTORS• Distributors frequently have a business relationship with manufactures
that they represent. Many distributors maintain exclusive buying agreements that limit the number of participants or enables distributors to cover a certain territory.
• The distributor becomes the manufacture’s direct point of contact for prospective buyers of certain products. However, distributors rarely sell a manufacture’s goods directly to consumers. Wholesale representatives and retailers generally find distributors to buy products for resale.
WHOLESALERS• Wholesalers generally buy a large quantity of products directly from
distributors. High-volume purchase orders typically improve a wholesaler’s buying power. Many distributors provide discounts for a certain number of items purchased or the total amount spent on merchandise.
• Wholesalers acquire merchandise, such as telephones, computers, bicycles, clothing, televisions and furniture. The goods are frequently destined for retailers.
RETAILERS• Retailers consist of small and large for-profit businesses that sell
products directly to consumers. To realize a profit, retailers search for products that coincide with their business objectives and find suppliers with the most competitive pricing.
• Generally, a retailer can buy small quantities of an item from a distributor or a wholesaler. For instance, a retail merchant who wanted to purchase a dozen lamps could contact lighting distributors to inquire about pricing.

EDUCATION INDUSTRY(PUBLISHERS, SOFTWARE PROVIDERS,
STATIONARY SUPPLIERS)
• Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also educate themselves.[1] Education can take place in formal or informal settings and any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational. The methodology of teaching is called pedagogy.
• Education is commonly and formally divided into stages such as preschool or kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and then college, university or apprenticeship.
A right to education has been recognized by some governments, including at the global level: Article 13 of the United Nations' 1966International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights recognizes a universal right to education.[2] In most regions education is compulsory up to a certain age.
EDUCATION INDUSTRY PUBLISHERS,• Publishers were once protected from competition by high barriers to entry. They had the
relationships with authors, knowledge of buying processes, and distribution clout to ensure their position—and their dominant market share. But their positions are now under attack as the business shifts toward digital content and away from a reliance on print textbooks.
• The beneficiaries have been classroom-oriented testing companies and providers of practical tools that supplement core instruction, along with educational software and courseware builders, which have provided schools and colleges with greater flexibility in meeting varied learning needs.
• K–12 education is moving more slowly but is also gaining momentum. About 4 percent of K–12 students are taking online courses, although less than 1 percent of total enrollment is in fully online programs.
• K-12, a term used in education and educational technology in the United States, Canada, and possibly other countries, is a short form for the publicly-supported school grades prior to college. These grades are kindergarten (K) and the 1st through the 12th grade (1-12).
• In short, the position of traditional education publishers is under threat. These companies are built around scale-based business models and capabilities designed for competition in a learning environment dominated by the printed book. Three trends are demanding that they change.
NEW CONTENT SOURCES ARE PROLIFERATINGInstitutions, professors, and students are demanding high-quality, up-to-date content with digital capabilities. They are experimenting with dynamic multimedia formats, modular course design, and customized and adaptive learning. Competition for these users has arisen from a proliferation of operators, including the following:•Open Educational Resource (OER) Providers•Online-Course ware Creators.•“Digital Native” Publishers and Self-Publishing Operators.So far, most publishers have responded to these new sources of competition by simply transferring their print content into a digital format, in some cases incorporating basic multimedia features. To succeed, they will need to fundamentally rethink their value propositions to take full advantage of the digital medium and consider the entire educational experience. SALES AND DISTRIBUTION ARE CHANGINGTraditional publishers have historically employed a product-oriented selling process based on long-term relationships. In higher education, salespeople have typically focused on professors and department heads. In K–12, sales teams have worked closely with state- or district-level selection committees over the course of extended textbook-adoption cycles.• Ultimately, smart publishers will focus on how their solutions can
support and optimize student learning and achievements. They will see themselves as participants in the student outcomes business as well as in the publishing business.

EDUCATION INDUSTRY STATIONARY SUPPLIERS• The Stationery Market Research Reports and Industry Analysis reports on the
stationery industry, which consists primarily of businesses that focus on using paper, or paper board, to create products that can be used for writing, art projects, filing and other projects.
• The stationery industry purchases needed materials from paper mills and plants before transforming them into stationery materials.
• The products of the stationery industry are sold to retailers and wholesalers, as well as large corporations. These products are then sold to consumers.
• Stationery, a niche industry, is engaged in steep competition, especially with
the advent of of electronic media stationery. Related to paper and written word, stationery cannot be instantly generated. In order to make a specialized product, many techniques are employed by the stationery industry.
• Practices include embossing, letterpress printing, engraving and thermographic printing. Overall, the stationery market is most often employed for formal event specialized invitations, office stationery and special occasion programs.
SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY(FILM PRODUCTION & DISTRIBUTION, HEALTH &
FITNESS)
SPORTS INDUSTRY• Sport industry is a market in which people, activities, business, and
organizations involved in producing, facilitating, promoting, or organizing any activity, experience, or business enterprise focused on sports.
• It is the market in which the businesses are products offered to its buyers are sports related and may be goods, services, people, places, or ideas.
HEALTH & FITNESS
• The most widely accepted definition of health is that of the World Health Organization Constitution. It states: "health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (World Health Organization, 1946). In more recent years, this statement has been amplified to include the ability to lead a "socially and economically productive life".
• The WHO definition is not without criticism, mainly that it is too broad.
Some argue that health cannot be defined as a state at all, but must be seen as a dynamic process of continuous adjustment to the changing demands of living. In spite of its limitations, the concept of health as defined by WHO is broad and positive in its implications, in that it sets out a high standard for positive health.
• The most solid aspects of wellness that fit firmly in the realm of medicine are the environmental health, nutrition, disease prevention, and public health matters that can be investigated and assist in measuring well-being. Please see our medical disclaimer for cautions about Wikipedia's limitations.
THE NOTION OF PHYSICAL FITNESS IS USED IN TWO CLOSE MEANINGS.
General health• In its most general meaning, physical fitness is a general state of good
physical health. A physically handicapped person's body may be physically fit (healthy), though its ability is likely to be less than optimum.
• Physical fitness is usually a result of regular physical activity and proper nutrition.
• Physical fitness can be divided into different areas, including:• Flexibility• Cardio-respiratory endurance• Strength• The government Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans say to aim
for at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of aerobic activity that requires moderate effort each week.
Task-oriented fitness• A person may be said to be physically fit to perform a particular task
with a reasonable efficiency, for example, fit for military service.• In recent years, Military-style fitness training programs have become
increasingly popular among civilians. Courses are available all over the United States and Europe.
THE GLOBAL MARKET
• The global market is fragmented with no particular chain taking a large share of the worldwide market. Market leaders are rather limited to more local (countries, geographical region) ranks. Amongst the health & fitness club companies with revenues in excess of one billion U.S. dollars in 2012 are Life Time Fitness, Virgin Active, Konami Sports & Life and 24 Hour Fitness USA.
• In 2012, a total of more than 150 thousand fitness & health clubs were in operation worldwide, of which about 30.5 thousand are located in the United States. These clubs in the U.S. had about 50 million members. Globally around 130 million people were members of a health/fitness club.
• The personal goals of health club members depend in some part on their age. More than 90 percent of health club members that are at least 66 years of age, for example, say that they train at a fitness center because they “need to stay healthy”, only about 47 percent of 16-to-20-year-olds cite this reason. The price of membership is the main reason why people either don’t join a health club at all (55.8%) or why they quit their membership (52.2%).
ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY
• Entertainment is a form of activity that holds the attention and interest of an audience, or gives pleasure and delight. It can be an idea or a task, but is more likely to be one of the activities or events that have developed over thousands of years specifically for the purpose of keeping an audience's attention.
• Although people's attention is held by different things, because individuals have different preferences in entertainment, most forms are recognisable and familiar.
• Storytelling, music, drama, dance, and different kinds of performance exist in all cultures, were supported in royal courts, developed into sophisticated forms and over time became available to all citizens. The process has been accelerated in modern times by an entertainment industry which records and sells entertainment products.
• An important aspect of entertainment is the audience, which turns a private recreation or leisure activity into entertainment. The audience may have a passive role, as in the case of persons watching a play, opera, television show, or film; or the audience role may be active, as in the case of games, where the participant/audience roles may be routinely reversed.
• Entertainment can be public or private, involving formal, scripted performance, as in the case of theatre or concerts; or unscripted and spontaneous, as in the case of children's games.
• Most forms of entertainment have persisted over many centuries,
evolving due to changes in culture, technology, and fashion. Films and video games, for example, although they use newer media, continue to tell stories, present drama, and play music. Festivals devoted to music, film, or dance allow audiences to be entertained over a number of consecutive days.
