Apple is a secondary, tertiary and quaternary industry. Apple manufacture their own stock, they produce their goods and services at factories where they are made (secondary). Also, they are a quaternary industry because the IOS 7 is a brand new update for their upcoming and now days iPhone.
The Quaternary Industry plays a significant role to develop a country's knowledge and scientific base. This industry similar to the Tertiary Industry focuses on services and intangible aspects of the economy.
Examples include doctors, teachers, lawyers, estate agents, travel agents, accountants and policemen. People working in these industries are described as being in the tertiary sector. People working in these industries are described as being in the quaternary sector.
Examples of quaternary consumers include lions, wolves, polar bears, humans, and hawks.
There are four types of industry. These are primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary.
Quinary sector represents the highest category of decision makers who formulate policy guidelines whereas Quaternary is part of tertiary sector of the economy which is knowledge based.
Quaternary occupation is knowledge-based job opportunities to develop the economy and it promotes the growth of the nation. Education, consultancy, financial planning, and blogging are also a part of Quaternary occupation as it comes under knowledge sharing.
The four essential economic activities are resource management, the production of goods and services, the distribution of goods and services, and the consumption of goods and services.
Quinary simply means fifth. It consists of services once performed in the home, or domestic services. Chefs, daycare providers, and cleaning services are types of quinary businesses.
Secondary manufacturing establishments are those that produce consumer goods (e.g., clothing) and capital goods (i.e. goods used to make other goods, for example, machinery, equipment, parts). The tertiary, or service industries, sector includes establishments in both the private and public sectors.
Quinary activities are services that focus on the creation, re-arrangement and interpretation of new and existing ideas; data interpretation and the use and evaluation of new technologies.
Basic and non-basic are the two broad industry categories. Basic industries consist of small and large businesses that sell primarily to external customers. Non-basic industries consist of primarily small businesses that sell to local customers, including basic and non-basic businesses.
One classical breakdown of economic activity distinguishes three sectors: Primary: involves the retrieval and production of raw materials, such as corn, coal, wood and iron. Secondary: involves the transformation of raw or intermediate materials into goods e.g. manufacturing steel into cars, or textiles into clothing.
The three-sector model in economics divides economies into three sectors of activity: extraction of raw materials (primary), manufacturing (secondary), and service industries which exist to facilitate the transport, distribution and sale of goods produced in the secondary sector (tertiary).
Sectors of the Economy: Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary and Quinary.
