With Revised Answers

use ERP systems to manage inventory and predict sales. Business technology and data mining
help manage customer relationships.

Analytics strategy at Target ("How Companies Learn Your Secrets") - answer✔✔Target tracked
searches to predict when customers were pregnant and proceeded to send them ads in the mail
for pregnancy/infant products - then mixed those ads in with other ads to make it less obvious.

as well and keep coming back to target.

information

what happened last time? - answer✔✔A century ago, electricity was in the process of taking over
from steam power in manufacturing. We bring up this period because it offers a critical caution:
many successful incumbent companies—in fact, most of them—did not survive the transition

transformation need to understand why this happened and to head some critical lessons from the
past.
