They are specific goals that guide the daily functioning of certain operations, in Zesty case study an tactical objective can be that the department of maintenance have the orange in a good environment so they would last longer and in better conditions. The strategic objective are the longer-term goals of a business, for example, profit maximization, growth, etc. In Zesty is for example growing by making a new product, orange juicy. 7. To what extent is: - A 50% smaller crop in brazil is an opportunity for Zesty? A 50% smaller crop in brazil is an opportunity for Zesty because it open the market, is a way of growth.
