Some performance characteristics apply to all industries, and some are specific to an industry.

Financial measures can be similar, especially at high levels, where all companies have revenue and expense, for example. But as analysis drills into more detail, the types of accounts used and their behavior begins to vary by industry and even company.

Operational measures vary even more, at all levels of consolidation. While all companies have some type of volume and average price measure, for example, the specific measure and behavior can be quite different between companies. Retailers will look at number of customers and average purchase amount, while telecom companies will look at number of lines in service and monthly balance.
