Core vs. Boutiques by Client Industry in Strategy Consulting

Just wanted to understand which firms(Large & Boutiques) are called for strategy by the CXO's of different client industries( I know MBB rules everywhere, but what about the rest)

CPG - Pharmaceutical - Chemicals - Manufacturing - Hi-Tech/Technology -

karl_pilkingtonkeep in mind that these days it's not just industry that drives the conversations. in many cases it's the function the client is interested in, ie sales force, operations, etc. often you'll see teams staffed with both functional and industry experience to cover both bases.

Can you explain with more details?- If possible with an example or case study?
