Developing mission and objectives helps a manager
to
1. Contribute primarily to manager’s purpose
2. Identify primarily among manager’s tasks
3. Examine the pervasiveness of planning and
4. Outline the efficiency of resulting plans.
The terms mission, objectives,
goals and targets are used many a time interchangeable. However, in corporate
literature they are often used distinctively. Mission leads to objectives
(which are designed to achieve the mission), objectives lead to goals (which
are designed to achieve the objectives) and goals lead to targets (which are
set to achieve the goals) as shown in Figure3.2.
