47. Peter Drucker Management by Objectives was first outlined by Peter Drucker in 1954 in his book 'The practice of Management'. According to Drucker managers should avoid 'the activity trap', getting so involved in their day to day activities that they forget their main purpose or objective. One of the concepts of Management by Objectives was that instead of just a few top-managers, all managers of a firm should participate in the strategic planning process, in order to improve the implementability of the plan. Another concept of MBO was that managers should implement a range of performance systems, designed to help the organization stay on the right track.
48. MBO is a system in which specific performance objectives are jointly determined by subordinates and their superiors, progress toward objectives is periodically reviewed, and rewards are allocated on the basis of this progress.

50. Objectives should be specific, attainable, yet challenging. Is the objective appropriate for the business at this time? Does it take the organization in the direction it wants to go? Does it support the overall mission of the business? Is it compatible and complementary with the other objectives? Is it acceptable and understandable to the majority who will be charged with implementing it? Is it affordable for the organization? Is it measurable and achievable? Is it ambitious enough to be challenging?
52. MBO substitutes for good intentions a process that requires rather precise written description of objectives (for the period ahead) and time-lines for their monitoring and achievement. The process requires that the manager and the employee agree to what the employee will attempt to achieve in the period ahead, and (very important) that the employee accept and buy into the objectives (otherwise commitment will be lacking).
