Alan S. Michaels, Consultant

September 2001– Present 

        Working on developing the best available industry segmentation of the global economy by line of business (leveraging Michael E. Porter's five forces industry analysis methodology). 

I'd like to meet potential customers and business partners that can leverage the Industry Building Blocks Classification System [TM]. The IBBCS defines and includes an industry analysis for each of the top 12,000 global industries (which account for more than 98% of the global economy). Each of the unique, non-overlapping industries in the IBBCS is analyzed using the same industry template which includes: industry name, definition, size, competitors, substitutes, vendors, customers, channels, end users, buyer decision criteria, product / service varieties, industry trends, industry uncertainties, industry success factors, and more.

I am also available for small to very large market research assignments that can leverage the above information, as long as it requires super-fast turnaround times.
