business classification:

. . . the creation or identity of a taxonomy of organizations or operations engaged in activities, undertakings and/or dealings in the commercial, industrial, and professional sectors of an economy. A critique of business classification systems states that many are . . . ad hoc, inconsistent, and nonintegrated, with very little association between (them).

A business classification system might be referred to as one that has industry or industrial classifications. By strict definition, however, it seems that business classifications should be limited as defined in the paragraph above. Industry or industrial taxonomies can include enterprises other than those that are businesses by strict definition. After all, do not industry, industrial and industrious share the same etymology?
