Description

This case is an instructional tool illustrating how innovation can transform a business in the areas of customer relationship management, technology, and operations. Strong business performance by Domino’s connects with the company’s many technological innovations and an effective customer-centric prioritization within the company. Domino’s innovations included changing the structure of its operations and introducing Pizza Tracker, a web-based application that allowed consumers (and management) to track where every pizza was at each stage of the process. New transparency even went as far as providing the names of employees working on each pizza. Domino’s countered employees’ unease about privacy by providing incentives. Overall, the company transformed into a retail leader not only in the pizza-making and delivery field but also in the technology sector.
