Abstract: | An organization's goal management process constitutes a hidden and influential infrastructure. Its potential impact on the strategic management orientation and ultimately the future of the enterprise renders it a powerful tool. This article discusses the management of organizational goals, focusing on goal sources and the networks that link them to operational decisions. Since a leader's management style is a significant factor in the goal process the article also addresses the interaction of the two. Specific examples are drawn from such diverse organizations as Campbell Soup, General Electric and the United States Defense Department. |
