  Organizations are drawn to the idea of digital marketing because they are interested in making both routine and strategic decisions, as well as how it will affect how their business operates. This interest stems from the volume of competition and difficulties these businesses face in meeting and securing the needs of their customers, particularly now that all businesses worldwide are concentrating on global markets.

It's the unwritten code that governs how things are done, how people interact, and what is deemed acceptable or unacceptable within the organization (Tsai, 2011).
