external business operations. The company wanted to offer the customers of Johnson & Johnson
Single Point of Contact (Giachetti 2016). The main focus of the managers was to make the
operating companies to run effectively neglecting to focus to customer retention. As a result, the
customers of the company had to manage their own multiple invoices, have multiple sales calls
and has multiple contract with their operating companies. After implementing the IT strategy in
the operating system, it only focused on the operating unit of the company.

the focus of the IT from the operating unit of the company (Plataniotis et al. 2015). The
strategies of IT should be included in business operation of the company to enhance corporate
level and the operation level of the company. For enhancing the corporate business strategies, the
company needs to take feedback from the customer regarding their services, the company should
strengthen their team who provides customer service, and they should track the performance of
the customer.

intersecting two historical classifications; first finding all the fundamentals that have been used
in Johnson & Johnson since its establishment and the second is transformation of the idea of the
organization to instantiation.
