Abstract
the aim of our paper is to present definitional challenges that we as scholars and teachers face while attempting to relate to a sector and an industry terms in economic analyses and from strategic management perspective. we employ secondary research and analyse the state of the academic discourse and common usages of the above terms. we argue that for an economic statistician classifications should be consistent and highlight existing inconsistencies. as for a strategist, we conclude that industry boundaries are unclear and very often context depen-dent. despite many misusages and misunderstandings of an industry and a sector, we con-clude that a sector is a broader category than an industry.
