• Tactical goals and objectives are directly related to the
  strategic goals of the organization. They indicate the
  levels of achievement necessary in the departments and
  divisions of the organization. Tactical goals and
  objectives must support the strategic goals of the
  organization. For example, if a strategic goal states that
  the organization is going to reduce total costs by 15
  percent next year, then the different departments of the
  company would set tactical objectives to decrease their
  costs by a certain percentage so that the average of all
  departments equals 15 percent.

Operational Goals & Operational
               Planning
Operational Goals. Operational goals and
objectives are determined at the lowest level of
the organization and apply to specific employees
or subdivisions in the organization. They focus
on the individual responsibilities of employees.
For example, if the department’s tactical goal is
related to an increase in return on assets by 5
percent, then the sales manager may have an
operational objective of increasing sales by
10 percent.
Operational planning generally assumes the
 existence of objectives and specifies ways to
 achieve them. Operational planning is short-
 range planning that is designed to develop
 specific action steps that support the strategic
 and tactical plans. Operational planning usually
 has a very short time horizon, from one week to
 one year.
