Types of Goals (II)
Stated goals: official statements of what an organization says and wants others to believe its goals are (can be found in organization written announcement i.e. annual report or PR announcement)
Real goals: goals an organization actually pursues (by observing what organizational member are doing)
Tesco’s goal is to “create value for customers to earn their lifetime loyalty”
Stated goals are often irrelevant to what actually goes on
Many U.S. universities claim their goal is limiting class sizes, facilitating close student-faculty relationships, but they commonly hold 300+ student lecture classes!

Our PartnersWe’re called partners, because it’s not just a job, it’s our passion. Together, we embrace diversity to create a place where each of us can be ourselves. We always treat each other with respect and dignity. And we hold each other to that standard.
Our CustomersWhen we are fully engaged, we connect with, laugh with, and uplift the lives of our customers— even if just for a few moments. Sure, it starts with the promise of a perfectly made beverage, but our work goes far beyond that. It’s really about human connection.
Our StoresWhen our customers feel this sense of belonging, our stores become a haven, a break from the worries outside, a place where you can meet with friends. It’s about enjoyment at the speed of life—sometimes slow and savored, sometimes faster. Always full of humanity.
Our NeighborhoodEvery store is part of a community, and we take our responsibility to be good neighbors seriously. We want to be invited in wherever we do business. We can be a force for positive action— bringing together our partners, customers, and the community to contribute every day.

Target Dates
= SMART Goals
Example: An airline business
Specific
“As many planes as possible should arrive on time”
“90% of planes should arrive within 15 minutes of scheduled arrival time”
Measurable
“As many planes as possible should arrive on time”
“90% of planes should arrive within 15 minutes of scheduled arrival time”
Attainable
Not too easy as “half the flights should arrive on time”
Not impossible as “all flights must arrive on time, regardless of weather”
The goal should be challenging, realistic, and achievable within the scope of the time, equipment, and financial support available
Results-Oriented
The goals should focus on the relevant outcome which support the organization’s mission and vision
In writing out the goals, start with the word “To” and follow it with action-oriented verbs— “complete,” “acquire,” “increase” to show what should be the expected result from this goal setting
For example “to decrease by 10% the time to get passengers settled in their seats before departure”
Target Dates
“From tomorrow onward, 90% of planes should arrive within 15 minutes of scheduled arrival time”
“90% of planes should arrive within 15 minutes of scheduled arrival time start from the next quarter onward”
Too soon to accomplish?
Summary: Steps in Goal Setting
1. Review the organization’s mission, or purpose - goals should reflect mission
2. Evaluate available resources – goals should be possible to accomplish with the available resources
3. Determine the goals individually or with input from others – goals should be in the same direction with other org.’s unit goals
4. Write down the goals and communicate them all who need to know
5. Review results and whether goals are being met – if not, change them as needed
Well-Written Goals
Written in terms of outcomes rather than actions
Measurable and quantifiableClear as to a time frameChallenging yet attainableWritten downCommunicated to all necessary

Approaches to Setting Goals
Approaches to Setting Goals
A) Traditional Goal SettingB) Management by Objectives (MBO)
A) Traditional Goal Setting
An approach to setting goals in which top managers set goals that flow down through the organization and become subgoals for each organizational area
B) Management by Objectives (MBO)
A process of setting mutually agreed upon goals and using those goals to evaluate employee performance
The purpose of MBO is to motivate rather than control subordinates
4 Elements of MBO Program
Goal specificity
Participative decision making
Explicit time period
Performance feedback
Steps in MBO
1. The organization’s overall objective and strategies are formulated
2. Major objectives are allocated among divisional and departmental units
3. Unit managers collaboratively set specific objectives for their units with their managers
4. Specific objectives are collaboratively set with all department members
5. Action plans, defining how objectives are to be achieved, are specified and agreed upon by managers and employees
6. The action plans are implemented7. Progress toward objectives is periodically reviewed, and
feedback is provided8. Successful achievement of objectives is reinforced by
performance-based rewards
Characteristics of Good Plans
1. Practical and Goal Oriented: be a realistic plan
2. Clear: everyone get the same direction and no question after reading plan
3. Cost Effective and Efficient: concern with effective and efficient ways of using resources
4. Flexible and Adaptable with any situation
5. Acceptable by all relevant units
Planning Tools
1. Function-oriented Project Management: it is a plan for specific project that manager need to include the major functions such as objectives, time frame, location, method or procedure, staff, responsible person or unit, and budget
2. Responsibility-oriented Project Management: clearly identify the person who is responsible for each function with details of responsibility area and time frame

Contingency Factors in Planning
1. Organizational level: different level of managers and their different types of planning
2. Degree of environmental uncertainty: when the uncertainty is high, plan should be specific but flexible to any unexpected change
3. Length of future commitments: i.e. planning for too long or too short a time period is inefficient and ineffective
Effective Planning in Dynamic Environments
Using plans that are specific but flexible.
Keep organizational hierarchy flatter helps make planning more effective.
