This document provides an outline for teaching a module on industry. It includes topics such as the classification of industry, industry as a system of inputs and outputs, locational factors that influence industry, case studies examining different types of industries, industrial change over time, the environmental impacts of industry, and encouraging sustainable development. Case studies that could be examined include the traditional heavy industry of the Rhine-Ruhr region, footloose industries, transnational corporations, newly industrialized countries, and examining industrial change in Northeast England and South Wales.
