A "target" value for a specified parameter is the maximum (minimum) of the range of preferred values for the parameter, where lower (higher) values of the parameter provide better performance or are otherwise more desirable. A design value falling between the target and goal values is desired by the GPM Project, and a value closer to the goal than the target is generally preferred, depending upon the impacts associated with approaching the goal.

It is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota.The company was founded in 1902 when George Dayton opened a retail store in downtown Minneapolis. Originally known as the Dayton Dry Goods Company, it became the Dayton Company in 1910.
In 1962, the Dayton Company opened its first Target discount store. By 1979, it would be the company's top revenue producer.
In 1969, the Dayton Company merged with the J.L. Hudson company. In 1978, the company acquired Mervyn's, and in 1990 it acquired Marshall Field's.

A target market is the market segment which a particular product is marketed to. It is often defined by age, gender and/or socio-economic grouping.Targeting strategy is the selection of the customers you wish to service. The decisions involved in targeting strategy include:
There are three steps to targeting:
- how many segments to target
- which segments to target
- how many products to offer
- which products to offer in which segments
Targeting strategy decisions are influenced by:
- market segmentation
- target choice
- product positioning
Targeting can be selective (eg.: focus strategy, market specialization strategy or niche strategy), or extensive (eg.: full coverage, mass marketing, or product specialization).
- market maturity
- diversity of buyers needs and preferences
- the company's size
- strength of the competition
- the volume of sales required for profitability

 | Proteins in the cytoplasm target and activate biochemical reactions in specific cellular components, such as the mitochondria and the nucleus. Within the nucleus, gene expression is activated and leads to new protein synthesis, which are formed on the endoplasmic reticulum. These proteins are transported via the Golgi complex for packaging and distribution to cellular membrane and for extracellular release. See artwork: (on disk in file). Credit: Jeannie Kelly (artist). |  | The metastatic colony is the end result of a complicated multistep process. The tumor cells from a primary tumor invade local tissue and gain access to the venous circulation (intravasation). Circulating tumor cells, singly or in clumps, are transported to target organs where they lodge in the capillary bed. Thus arrested, these tumor cells penetrate the endothelial cell lining and the underlining basement membrane to exit the circulation (extravasation). They then grow as a metastatic colony, a development that requires new blood vessels (neovascularization). To complete this multistep process, the tumor cells must overcome the host's defenses.
