When should the management by objectives be used?

Thank you for the invitation.

Management by objectives (MBO) is a management model that aims to improve performance of an organization by clearly defining objectives that are agreed to by both management and employees. ... The term was first outlined by management guru Peter Drucker in 1954 in his book "The Practice of Management."

Management by objectives. ... Management by objectives is the process of defining specific objectives within an organization that management can convey to organization members, then deciding on how to achieve each objective in sequence.

There are three types of goals: based on time, focus and topic. 1. Time goals are the ones we refer to as short-term or long-term.  Goals that take a long time to achieve are called long-term goals. Find out more about them. A short-term goal is something you want to do in the near future. The near future can mean today, this week, this month, or even this year. A short-term goal is something you want to accomplish soon.  MBO concentrates on these to achieve the targets for the organisation.  Short-term goals can be achieved in fewer than two months. Medium-term goals may take from two months to three years to achieve. Long-term goals require three or more years to achieve. Long-term goals may be built upon short-term goals.

MS. Celeste Ann Has nailed it. I support her wisdom.

Thanks

I support Mrs Celeste's answer

It has to be applied when the executive management and employee agree upon a set of specific performance goals, or objectives, and jointly develop a plan for reaching them within a time frame and evaluation.

Thanks for invitation,

I do believe that our colleague, " Celeste Ann" has already covered the subject by her answer.

On strategic planning wherein we draw our main objectives from the mission, vision and values of the company. From there we create the structure of the balanced scorecard where we draw our performance evaluation sheets between the performer and the evaluator.  MBO can only be successful if all of these 3 are present: target, measures and REWARD system (financial or an added value).
