Planning II ASHUTOSH YADAV

MBO

Instead of using traditional goal setting, many organizations use management by

objectives (MBO), a process of setting mutually agreed-upon goals and using those goals
to evaluate employee performance. If Francisco were to use this approach, he would sit
down with each member of his team and set goals and periodically review whether
progress was being made toward achieving those goals. MBO programs have four
elements: goal specificity, participative decision making, an explicit time period, and
performance feedback.

MBO uses goals to motivate them as well. The appeal is that it focuses on employees working
to accomplish goals they’ve had a hand in setting
 MBO
• Management by objectives (MBO), also known as management by planning (MBP), was first
popularized by Peter Drucker in his 1954 book The Practice of Management.

• In the book, Drucker described MBO as a management philosophy, rather than a specific technique,
and defined goals as being determined by the situation, not by a formula. Drucker's student, George
Odiorne, later developed the concept further. MBO was popular in the 1960s and 1970s

• A strategic approach to enhance the performance of an organization. It is a process where the goals of
the organization are defined and conveyed by the management to the members of the organization
with the intention to achieve each objective.

• An important step in the MBO approach is the monitoring and evaluation of the performance and
progress of each employee against the established objectives. Ideally, if the employees themselves are
involved in setting goals and deciding their course of action, they are more likely to fulfill their
obligations.

employees.
 Does MBO work?
Studies have shown that it can increase employee performance and organizational
productivity. For example, one review of MBO programs found productivity gains in almost
all of them. But is MBO relevant for today’s organizations? If it’s viewed as a way of setting
goals, then yes, because research shows that goal setting can be an effective approach to
motivating employees
 ADVANTAGES OF MBO

• Management by objectives helps employees appreciate their on-the-job roles and

responsibilities.
• The Key Result Areas (KRAs) planned are specific to each employee, depending on
their interest, educational qualification, and specialization.
• The MBO approach usually results in better teamwork and communication.
• It provides the employees with a clear understanding of what is expected of them.
The supervisors set goals for every member of the team, and every employee is
provided with a list of unique tasks.
• Every employee is assigned unique goals. Hence, each employee feels indispensable
to the organization and eventually develops a sense of loyalty to the organization.
• Managers help ensure that subordinates’ goals are related to the objectives of the
organization.
LIMITATIONS OF MBO
 CHARACTERISTICS OF WELL-WRITTEN GOALS

• Goals aren’t all written the same way.

• Some are better than others at making the desired outcomes clear.

For instance, the CEO of Procter & Gamble said that he wants to see the company add
close to 548,000 new customers a day, every day, for the next five years. It’s an ambitious
but specific goal.

Managers should be able to write well-written goals.

 Contingency Factors in Planning
The process of developing plans is influenced by three contingency factors and by the
planning approach followed:

Organizational level

Degree of environmental
uncertainty

Length of future
commitments
 Contingency Factors in Planning

1. Organizational Level
•Overview:
• Different levels of management require different types of plans.
•Considerations:
• Top Management: Focus on strategic plans.
• Middle Management: Develop tactical plans.
• Lower Management: Handle operational plans.
•Example: In responding to a disaster, top managers might set overall objectives, while field
managers develop specific action plans for implementation.
Contingency Factors in Planning

The figure shows the relationship

between a manager’s level in the
organization and the type of planning
done. For the most part, lower-level
managers do operational planning
while upper-level managers do
strategic planning.
 Contingency Factors in Planning
2. Degree of Environmental Uncertainty
•Overview:
• The level of uncertainty in the environment impacts planning.
•Considerations:
• High Uncertainty: Requires more flexible and adaptive plans.
• Low Uncertainty: Allows for more stable and predictable plans.
•Example: In a disaster scenario, uncertainty might include unpredictable weather or logistical challenges, affecting how plans
are developed and adjusted.

3. Length of Future Commitments

•Overview:
• The duration of commitment influences planning strategies.
•Considerations:
• Short-Term Commitments: Focus on immediate, actionable plans.
• Long-Term Commitments: Develop more comprehensive, strategic plans.
•Example: Immediate relief efforts require short-term, focused plans, while rebuilding efforts may involve long-term strategic
planning.
 Strategy vis-à-vis Planning
Planning is like a map for guidance while strategy is the path which takes you to your
destination.

Strategy leads to planning and planning leads to programs.

Planning is future oriented, whereas Strategy is action oriented. Planning takes assumptions,
but Strategy is based on practical experiences.

Strategy is about understanding your environment and making choices about what to do,
while planning is about making choices about how to use resources to achieve those choices.
In strategic planning, strategy formulation is an essential part of planning that connects a
company's vision and mission to its goals and objectives

SWOT Analysis Strategies
In the process of adaptability analysis, enterprise top management should be based on the determination of internal and
external variables, using leverage, inhibitory, vulnerability, and problematic four basic concepts to analyze this model.

Leverage (S + O). Leverage effects arise when internal and external opportunities are
consistent and adaptive to one another. In this situation, companies can use their internal
strengths to pick up external opportunities and fully integrate opportunities and strengths.
However, opportunities are often fleeting, so companies must sharply capture opportunities
and seize the opportunity to seek greater development.

Inhibitory (W + O). Inhibiting means impeding, preventing, influencing and controlling.

When the opportunities provided by the environment are not suited to the internal resource
advantages of the company, or cannot be overlapped with each other, the strengths of the
enterprise will no longer be realized. In this situation, companies need to provide and add
certain resources to promote the transformation of internal resources and weaknesses into
strengths to cater to or adapt to external opportunities.
SWOT Analysis Strategies
Vulnerability (S + T). Vulnerability means the decrease or decrease in the degree or intensity
of strengths. When environmental conditions pose a threat to the company’s strengths, the
strengths cannot be fully exerted and ending up with a fragile situation. In this situation,
companies must overcome the threats to take advantage of them.

Problematic (W + T). When the company’s internal weaknesses and corporate external
threats meet, companies face severe challenges. If they are not properly handled, they may
directly threaten the survival of the company.
