Hi. I have a rather trivial question on one of the many post-MBA career paths. To the people responding to this, I thank for your patience in answering to what must surely seem as a silly little query.
Different B-schools seem to be good at different post-MBA career paths (for example, LBS at Finance or INSEAD at consulting, etc). Doesn't each of either Finance, Technology, Healthcare or Consulting, etc imply an individual industry in itself? So what does it mean when they say that a B-school is good in 'Industry'? Which Industry do they mean?
Thanks in advance to the responders.

Vivor:
An industry can be a sector, field or, in some cases, a function. Consulting and finance are functional industries just like law and medicine would be industries that provide a service, usually to a client of some sort. Companies in finance, consulting, etc. serve many sub-sectors and end markets but are built on specific functional capabilities such as providing strategic advice, providing due diligence, assisting in M&A transactions or raising capital.
That being said, many times in MBA programs there is a colloquial difference between consulting/finance/etc. and "industry." Industry in that case tends to mean a specific sector such as healthcare, consumer & retail, energy, tech, etc. and that you are going to work for a company that specifically operates in that sector. In other words, you are going to a company in a sector that consulting/finance/etc. people serve.
It's an interesting question and one that I'm sure many here would be happy to debate.

Thank you for your response Admissionado . I still, however, am not completely clear on this.
In the many forums here discussing school decisions, I have come across replies stating that schools such as IMD or IESE might not be very good in Finance or Consulting, but they're very good in Industry (apparently, especially IMD). My query is regarding that sense of the word.
I realise that you have already explained the colloquial use of the term "industry", but when they say that IMD is good in Industry, which specific industries do they mean? They can't mean that IMD is good in every single industry served by finance/consulting etc, can they?
I apologise in advance if I have been misunderstanding this by overlooking something obvious. Thanks.
