Hi there,
I must say I appreciate your last line :P
You have two options:
Do it yourself
I prefer this because you learn it better. Create an industry deep-dive outline (or use might). Then research and fill in the info. (Part google, but also your university's online library, etc.)
Pay for it
I really like Primerli but there are plenty of others out there (onliny courses in Udemy, Youtube, etc.)
Haha, I love how you ended the question.
Ok - no Google searches (though they help, you know ;) )
I would suggest you go to the websites of the big consulting firms (e.g., McKinsey) and check for their publications within their specific industry/function that you are interested in.
Each of these digests starts with an overview that would be useful to anyone regardless of their current knowledge.
If you read a couple of these then you also have the most up-to-date info in the industry.
Best of luck!

Hi there,
1) mbb and tier 2 consulting publications, as suggested by others have value chain recaps
2) Wharton casebooks used to have a industry overview sections which was pretty ok also in terms of value chain
3) reading annual reports helps a ton especially 10-k in the management comments section (but bit time consuming)
4) chat gbt and the other ai powered similar tools do a first level good job with the right prompts
I would create your own quick sheet integrating the sources above, so that you can digest tbe content and make it stick.
hope this helps
regards
