eCompetitors Inc, is the creator of the Global Industry Dashboard , the first-ever global industry classification system at the line-of-business level. The Global Industry Dashboard provides an industry analysis on the top 10,000 global industries; and it represents an alternative industry classification system to the US Government North American Industry Classification System and several other government-sponsored industry classification systems which basically mimic NAICS or ISIC coding schemes.
Historically, commercially-developed so-called industry classification systems have been developed by financial companies and information vendors that grouped companies into industry sectors. Typically these classification systems identified fewer than 700 industry sectors to represent all economic activity.
In a break from all government-sponsored industry classification schemes, the Global Industry Dashboard is not a top-down hierarchical scheme to summarize economic activity for government purposes. Instead, the Global Industry Dashboard represents a true industry (line of business) view of the global economy. The global industry dashboard includes over 10,000 industries, covering more than 95% of the global economy. Also unique to the Global Industry Dashboard is that companies are defined in terms of a list of each and every industry they compete in; and they are not just defined in terms of one primary or a few NAICS codes.
The Global Industry Dashboard will be formerly presented at the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals SCIP09 Annual International Conference and Exhibition April 22-24, 2009 Chicago Illinois USA.

The Global Industry Dashboard industry taxonomy is different from NAICS codes in four significant ways:
#The Global Industry Dashboard is purely global in design
#The industry taxonomy leverages the ideas of Michael Porter and his Porter 5 forces analysis for defining each industry.
#The global industry classification system is used to normalize company data into its line of business components, thereby enabling side-by-side company comparisons at the line-of-business level. Global IT companies like IBM, HP, and Oracle Corporation all compete in well over a hundred lines of business. The average Global 1000 company competes in approximately 52 lines of business.
#Industries are analyzed independently - they are not fixed to a single hierarchical structure like NAICS. Industries can be grouped into researcher-defined industry groups.
