dc.description.abstract | An industry can be defined as a system within which homogenous processes strive toward a common
generalizable outp
ut. An industry comprises various economic, social and environmental activities. Various
statistics aims to quantify the size, impact and importance of industry in order to valuate it accordingly.
Yet, various factors have led to industries being misevalua
ted (both positively and negatively).
Upstream
industries, such as retail and financial services, are often grossly over valuated while essential industries to
human existence, such as farming and mining, are under valuated. A large part of the problem lie
s with
consumers who can be misled into supporting large corporate behavior that splits the value earn to upstream
industries. Exploring this further reveals that although part of the problem lies with procurement, value
chain and other processes; the larg
er part of the problem is a missing link between human needs psyche and
industry. This article explores that link more closely and finds that it is a likely product of disharmonious
industrialization over decades. A model linking Maslow’s hierarchy of need
s with industry is built in order
to reflect the importance of downstream industries. Moreover, major technological forces impacting these
industries for the better are critically discussed | en_US |
