Where can I find a taxonomy (hierarchy structure) of business type?
Edit: for clarification, I would like a taxonomy like grocery -> deli; night spots -> clubs, bars, strip clubs, nightclubs. Something like yellowpage's categorization scheme with more details.
Please provide as many examples as possible.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The Cyc Business Taxonomy Suite is a subset of the master Cyc Comprehensive Commonsense Taxonomy Suite in the narrower domain of general business organization types and practices. It contains over 2,800 terms about commercial activities, types of commercial organizations, types of places of business, occupations, industries, market categories and business-related documents and agreements.
I also found this site that also provides a similar service.

Our local search taxonomy leverages the structured 42,000 categories of our product and service taxonomy and combines it with our proprietary database of more than 1 million (and growing…) keywords and keyphrases. We then map these categories to the third party category set to create a robust structure of categories and keywords with your original set of categories at the top.
Is that what you are looking for?

Or do you mean as in different positions within a company. Like corporate hierarchy? For now, I understood it as in types of businesses.

http://www.google.com/Top/Business/
and a directory of over 65,000 business categories
http://www.business.com/directory/
These aren't in the form you want, so you would have to write some code to traverse the tree and grab the categories, unless you could get the by asking.
Open Directory Project, however will give you a list of categories:
http://www.dmoz.org/Business/
You have to parse it, but the list is here:
