stragedy

a plan that has the conviction of forethought, but which is so disasterous it begs for hindsight before it is even implemented. A stragedy is often promoted as a strategy to hide the fact that it was conceived from rash and not rational action.

It was a stragedy for the robber to break into a store which sold CCTV cameras. (This actually happened)

It was stragedic thinking for the auto mechanic to weld a leak in the gas tank before he emptied it.

Brick Exit Strategy

The process whereby a traditional “Brick & Mortar” retailer begins the transition to a predominantly Internet based business model. Often brought about due to the escalating costs of maintaining a dedicated physical presence as declining economic conditions force geo-based retailers into competing dollar for dollar with their virtual world ecommerce competition.

"A Brick Exit Strategy not only cuts costs, it gives us a chance to expand beyond this local market."

cheese strategy

Using an incredibly lame and easy "no-effort" strategy within video gaming, or just in general. Has to be effortless, overpowered or just a purely try-hard and annoying way of "cheesing" an early win. Examples of this is Zerg rush (Starcraft) or using the Noobtube in any CoD game.

I hate Jerry. Last night, he was totally using a Cheese strategy. You know the one with the roundhouse kicks? Yeah, he did nothing but that and won within 2 minutes.

comcast strategy

A statistical analysis of customer experience. Make it extremely tedious and difficult to cancel/downgrade/do anything with your service. The benefit of people giving up and accepting unnecessary fees or undesired services outweighs the cost of those that do leave.

Comcast has determined that their strategy of impossible customer service benefits the bottom line more than being a customer-friendly company.

Comcast strategy example:

To cancel a service you must be on hold and bounced between representatives for at least 30 minutes. The percent that give up and accept whatever fee is more profitable than correcting the percent that do quit/give the company a bad reputation.
