Every industry or end market has some unique qualities that it does not share with others. The demands of a product information master for the chemical industry vs say the fashion industry are very different. The best practice for a telco is very different from a bank.
Some industries rely on humans to sell their products and services (consider MLM companies, aircraft and turbines) while others are almost entirely online (consider Airbnb, Uber).
Digital transformation has never subscribed to the one-size-fits-all idiom. Some industries focus on B2c, others on B2b and yet others on B2b2c. From small parcel delivery to big box shipments, online to physical sales engagements, footfall to online traffic, a digital transformation program will have to combine the nuances of an industry’s demand and supply chain and technology scope.
