Amazon also used tactics to serve as their corporate strategy. Amazon survived the dot-com bust because it had a viable and innovative business model built around a market-changing customer value proposition and a radical profit formula (Johnson, 2010)
If a program tracks routes that an individual takes, then it could market to them based on their proximity to nearby stores. Having digital personal information can also bring about an immediacy of Internet advertising, which often customizes ads to reflect, eerily, your most recent online activity; for example, if you peruse an automaker's website, for instance, chances are good you'll soon see banner ads for the exact same model you were researching elsewhere online (Kunz, 2010)
One example could be the famous In-N-Out chain in California who chose not to do a lot of marketing and focus primarily on the tactical operations that were based on the company's objectives.

When each "step and phase" can demonstrate "positive value and added value" and minimize cost there is a greater likelihood that project will provide its promised benefits (Hopkins 2007). Project assumptions should be stated upfront and the "people, productivity and quality" levels needed along with potential objections to counter (Arnett 1999)
The environment is constantly changing and a major investment in one project which seems to be valuable might be rapidly undercut by the revelation of another type of technology which presents an even better cost saving. No matter how great the potential financial savings in theory, "calculating the potential value of unknown information is similar to a prospector digging for gold" (Hopkins 2007)
. a "business objective" the technology is supposed to address; a statement of "critical assumptions and constraints;" an "analysis of options and recommendations;" "preliminary project requirements;" an estimate of the budget and schedule; and also a risk analysis (Marchewka 2015)
