5. Review of the Industry

An industry is the sum total of all related firms or businesses manufacturing and selling
similar products. The more loosely the industry is defined, the larger the industry tends to
be. For example, the mean industry includes beef, ham, duck, chicken, lamb etc. and may
have 5000 firms, whereas the lamb industry would just include those who sell lamb, and
may only consist of 100 firms (or farmers).

In this section, you also need to review any literature that gives information about the
industry. How are you defining the industry? Is it the music industry? Is it the pan or calypso
 industry?
