...either but not both." (Figure 6.7 - Pg 165) The steps to the planning process are as follows in the exact order as described originally. The first step is "Setting Objectives" and this step allows management to set goals for the work environment and the employees regardless of the goal being short term or long term. Setting objectives purely integrates aspirations for the future to drive the progression of the company and its employees further. The second step is "Analyzing and Evaluating the Environments" which is the process to planning that allows the reality of the resources available within the work environment to become known so that the limitations become known as well. This step is very important and if one was to archive and create some form of database or collective data source on what is readily at hand that will and can be applied to the "plan" which could be physical resources needed for production, actual employee numbers, types of employees and their special skills, infrastructure in place and any aspect that may be possibly become an asset or liability. Simply knowing all surroundings and creating a proper catalog readily available for management and others of leadership would be a extremely useful resource in pushing forward towards a goal with correct knowledge of what the current values of any situation may be. The third step is "Identifying the Alternatives" which can be understood as Plan B or any other number of alternative plans in case everything does...

...Strategy is a set of open for adaptation long-term courses of action, formulated by top executives and devised to reach a specific goal. Strategy is sometimes confused with tactics, plans, vision and others due to the fact those concepts share certain similarities. By including ‘Long-term courses of action’ in our definition we differentiate strategy from tactics. Tactics are very short-term and they are based on existing strategy to address specific situation. ‘Open for adaptation’ specifies that strategy can be modified with time. This is in contrast with plans which are dropped if, for instance, circumstances change and plans cannot be executed. With regard to vision, which is a goal in the ‘far’ future it should be remembered that strategy directly refers to it but it consists of more than a goal. Strategy also provides certain ideas on how to reach the point where vision becomes reality. Our definition also fits well with the importance of flexibility in strategy as mentioned by Kanter (2002). That is, strategy should adapt to changing conditions much like improvisational theater. Defining whether an organisation has a strategy or not might prove difficult as the applicability of perceived strategies is subjective. One way to test the presence of the strategy is to ask a number of questions regarding crucial characteristics of the construct to different executives in the company. For instance, the following questions should be, if possible, answered by at least 3 top...

...Goal setting is one of the most important tools used by organizations to guide them towards achieving their plans. Organizations are guided by their mission statement as their overall purpose for being. Vision statements are planned after the mission statement is established to help guide the company towards the kind of company they want to become. There are three types of goals an organization can use to start planning how they are going to execute their plan. Starting at the top with executive leadership, they have strategic goal for the company that includes their long term goals. The strategic plan is then set for up to a period of 5 years. From there, middle management sets the tactical goals. Tactical goals range from establishing policies and procedures to coordinating the work of first-line managers (Kinicki & Williams, 2016). Tactical plans are set for up to a period of 24 months. Lastly, first-line managers are set to facilitate the operational goals. First-line managers plan how to accomplish the goals of middle and upper management efficiently over the next 52 weeks. It is important that middle management and first-line management are part of the strategy process from the beginning (Christian-Liviu, 2013). It is important to bring them in because there will be significant change in the organization that needs to be accepted by all parties involved to guarantee participation by all the workers (Karnani, 2008, p. 515). Now that the organizational goals are established...

...Personal Responsibility According to Gubitti (2009), College gives an “open door access to opportunities” to meet objectives in one’s academics, career, and personally goals. Even though excuses are the easy way out of responsibilities, personal responsibility is the key ingredient for college success because people understand the impact of their actions and avoid blame others for their own mistakes. I will tell you what person responsibility means to me. Approaches someone can take to aid with improving personal responsibility skills, such as better time management, organization, and goal setting. I will include an initial strategy to exercise personal responsibility in my education. To me personal responsibility is the self-obligation to carry out a task to accomplish a greater goal. Personal responsibility is the one driving force between success and failure. For example, there are two students in the same class with the same assignments due. The first student gets start right away on his or her assignment and has time to revise it several times before he or she turns it. The second student with the same assignment waits until the day before to complete it. The first student is more than likely to get a better grade because of the proper time management skills they practice. They were personally responsible enough to complete their assignment in a timely manner. First part of honing one’s personal responsibility skills is getting organized. “One of...

...Abstract Mission statements and organizational goals have evolved dramatically over the past twenty years. Once a mission statement was a simple statement that conveyed why the organization existed. Now, that same statement may include information about supporting sustainability and corporate responsibility. This document will look at trends within mission statements and goals. Organizational Goals According to dictionary.com, a goal is defined as the result or achievement toward which the effort is directed. For each goal that an organization sets, it also sets objectives. Objectives are short-term targets with measurable results. Without clearly-defined goals and objectives, organizations will have trouble coordinating activities and forecasting future events (Marler, 2013). Virtually every business has a goal or goals that they want to accomplish. Most start with mission statements that tell us why the organization exists and state goals on what they hope to achieve. One of the most comprehensive mission statements that review their goals in terms of leadership, quality and value, profits, ethics, and social responsibility is Caterpillar (King, Case, and Premo, 2010). Caterpillar Caterpillar will be the leader in providing the best value in machines, engines, and support services for customers dedicated to building the world’s infrastructure and developing and transporting its resources.

...value) if the financial resources are allocated for the incentives (Ellig, 2011). Extrinsic rewards can sometimes impede innovation and creativity by narrowing the focus to the asset. Extrinsic rewards can also motivate to allow for only temporary compliance if the intrinsic impetus has not been directed and changed to mirror the long-term goal (Barros & Lazzarini, 2012). The balancing act, therefore, becomes can a business develop a corporate culture where the foundation is based on intrinsic motivation while still offering extrinsic assets and compensation. The organization, whether large or small, can achieve that balance if the focus is the total rewards for the employees. Every business will have to effectively align how to achieve that balance if they want to attract top talent, retain that premier talent, and have the performance levels necessary to obtain organizational goals. The organization needs to make certain that the mission and vision of the company are both credible and realistic for the employees – so that the employees can see themselves as essential and vital to the achievement and fulfillment of those goals (Ellig, 2011).
