Firms that produce identical or similar products are said to be in the same industry. For example, General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler are all part of the automobile industry. Similarly, General Electronic, Whirlpool, and Westinghouse are all part of the home appliance industry.
　　However, many major companies produce products in more than one industry. In addition to producing automobiles, General Motors also produces trucks, buses, diesel locomotives, and home appliance. Therefore, it would be correct to say that General Motors is also in the truck industry, the bus industry, the diesel locomotive industry, and the home appliance industry.
　　Another way to classify firms is by their legal form of organization. There are three basic forms of business organization that we will consider: （1） the individual proprietorship; （2） the partnership; and （3） the corporation.
