Abstract
MessageTech, Inc provides digital media technology and solutions that help clients customize advertising to their specific needs. The company''s proprietary technology has the potential to revolutionize the way large, geographically dispersed retailers approach advertising and promotion by allowing clients the flexibility to customize advertising content, in real-time, to suit the conditions of each individual site. Results of beta testing indicate that clients'' sales increase significantly after installation of the messageTech system. Yet, the company has been unable to close on any major sales of the system. The newly appointed chief executive officer has a mandate to commercialize the new technology. He must develop a strategy that balances the company''s needs for short-term performance against the actions that will ensure a viable competitive position over the long-term.
