Objectives / Goals – Meaning
 
Objectives or goals are the end results towards which activities are aimed. Formulation and definition of objectives of an organization is the basic requirement of effective management. According to George R. Terry, “a managerial objective is the intended goal which prescribes definite safe and suggests direction to efforts of a manager”. Further objectives can either he short term or long-term. As business activities involve allocation of source resources among alternative uses, expected return must be balanced against its opportunity cost.
