Market Segment & Sales Segment

Hi all,
Please help me to get some clarification.

In Market Manager there are functions to define segments. There are already
2 segments defined: market segment and sales segment.

Am I to understand that market segment is intended to define types of
industry, like:
Automotive,
Health care & Life Sciences
etc

And that sales segment is intended to define a categorization of types of
customers, like:
B2C
B2B - Tier 1 (e.g. Global Accounts)
B2B - Tier 2 (e.g. National Key Accounts)
B2B - Tier 3 (e.g. Other Accounts)
B2G - Tier 1 (e.g. Country level Government Accounts/ NGO Accounts)
B2G - Tier 2 (e.g. Regional level Government Accounts)
B2G - Tier 3 (e.g City/municipal level Government Accounts)

Or are other tables/datatypes defined for this?

Regards,

Pierre
