and understand what they are in the organization.
The term "management by objectives" was first
popularized by Peter Drucker in his 1954 book 'The
Practice of Management'

Management by objectives (MBO) is a systematic and
organized approach that allows management to focus on
achievable goals and to attain the best possible results
from available resources.
It aims to increase organizational performance by
aligning goals and subordinate objectives throughout the
organization.
Ideally, employees get strong input to identify their
objectives, time lines for completion, etc. MBO includes
ongoing tracking and feedback in the process to reach
objectives.
41. MAIN CONCEPT:-
The principle behind Management by Objectives (MBO) is
to make sure that everybody within the organization has a
clear understanding of the aims, or objectives, of that
organization, as well as awareness of their own roles and
responsibilities in achieving those aims.
The complete MBO system is to get managers and
empowered employees acting to implement and achieve
their plans, which automatically achieve those of the
organization.

special set of objectives that they try to reach during a
normal operating period. These objectives are mutually
set and agreed upon by individuals and their managers.
Performance reviews are conducted periodically to
determine how close individuals are to attaining their
objectives.
Rewards are given to individuals on the basis of how
close they come to reaching their goals.

and interactions between superiors and subordinates helps

The Smart Method
46. WHERE TO USE MBO
The MBO style is appropriate for knowledge-based
enterprises when your staff is competent. It is appropriate
in situations where you wish to build employees'
management and self-leadership skills and tap their
creativity and initiative.
Management by Objectives (MBO) is also used by chief
executives of multinational corporations (MNCs) for their
country managers abroad.
47. THE SMART METHOD
Clarity of goals – With MBO, came the
concept of SMART goals i.e. goals that
are:
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Relevant, and
Time bound.
48. THE SMART METHOD
The goals thus set are clear, motivating and there is a
linkage between organizational goals and performance
targets of the employees.
The focus is on future rather than on past. Goals and
standards are set for the performance for the future with
periodic reviews and feedback.
49. MANAGERIAL FOCUS
MBO managers focus on the result, not the activity.
They delegate tasks by "negotiating a contract of goals"
with their subordinates without dictating a detailed
roadmap for implementation.
Management by Objectives (MBO) is about setting
yourself objectives and then breaking these down into
more specific goals or key results.
50. MBO AT MICROSOFT

Eliminate politics, by giving everybody the same message.
Keep a flat organization in which all issues are discussed
openly.
Insist on clear and direct communication.
Prevent competing missions or objectives
Eliminate rivalry between different parts of the organization
Empower teams to do their own things

DISADVANTAGES
Advantages
MBO programs continually emphasize what should be done
in an organization to achieve organizational goals.

organizational goals.
Disadvantages
The development of objectives can be time consuming,
leaving both managers and employees less time in which to
do their actual work.
