  4. Big Hairy Audacious Goals(part 1 of 2) Employees at GE use “stretch goals.” Other companies call these goals BHAG - big hairy audacious goals. These goals stimulate everyone to shoot for extreme achievement. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  5. Big Hairy Audacious Goals(part 2 of 2) Major goal that GE is striving for is Six Sigma. Six Sigma is statistical term for 3.4 defects per million products. For GE to attain Six Sigma requires every employee to get on board. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  6. Goal-Setting Theory Goal setting may be organization-wide, department-wide, individual, or integration of the three. A goal is anything an individual is trying to accomplish and is the object of action. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

Major Findings Relevant to Goal-Setting Theory (part 1 of 2) • Difficult goals produce better performance. • Specific hard goals better than “do your best.” • People may abandon goals if too hard. • Participation increases commitment to goals. • Feedback about accomplishment improves performance. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  8. Major Findings Relevant to Goal-Setting Theory (part 2 of 2) • Education and position in organization does not predict success. • Goal-setting in teams deserves special consideration. • Support of management is critical. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  15. Management by Objectives (MBO) (part 1 of 2) MBO is a specific technique for setting goals. Aimed at integration of individual and organization goals. A system to help in planning, organizing, problem-solving, and motivating. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  16. Management by Objectives (MBO) (part 2 of 2) MBO involves participation of subordinates and their managers in setting and clarifying goals for subordinates. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  17. How MBO Works Jointly identify common goals. Define major areas of responsibility in terms of results expected. Use measurements as guides for operating and assessing contributions of members. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  18. Underlying Purposes of MBO • Clarify organization’s goals and plans at all levels. • Gain better motivation and participation from organization’s members. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  20. Steps in MBO Process (part 1 of 2) • Subordinate proposes specific goals and ways to measure them for designated time period. • Subordinate and superior jointly develop mutually agreed upon goals. • Period of performance. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  21. Steps in MBO Process (part 2 of 2) • Feedback of results with comparison between actual performance and goals. • Previous step sets stage for recycling of goal-setting process. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  22. Figure 12.2Steps in the MBO Process An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  23. OD in Practice: Boehringer Mannheim and MBO (part 1 of 4) BM set up nontraditional MBO program. Focused on having every key professional specify how much an employee will contribute to next year’s profits. Program was phased in over two years. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  24. OD in Practice (part 2 of 4) MBO began with a two-day training session. • Conducted by external consultant. • Attended by management including CEO. Employees formulate objectives for year’s budget. Supervisor reviews performance at quarterly intervals. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  25. OD in Practice (part 3 of 4) BM’s program calculates dollar value of objectives. BM uses “stretch” objectives with cash bonus. Emphasis on results, teamwork, growth in entrepreneurs, and greater contribution. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  26. OD in Practice (part 4 of 4) BM traces their success with MBO to: • Implementing MBO the right way. • Tying MBO to company strategy. • Establishing financial perspective to MBO. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  27. Criticisms of MBO (part 1 of 2) Implementing MBO is expensive and time-consuming. Traditionally limited to managerial and professional employees where costs can be justified. Joint goal-setting among unequals difficult and may not be possible. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  28. Criticisms of MBO (part 2 of 2) MBO may be too quantitative. Areas that cannot be quantified may be ignored. MBO may be implemented as top dictating to bottom. Some OD practitioners question if MBO is OD intervention. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition

  29. Results of MBO Difficult to measure success of MBO. Trend of findings is generally favorable. An Experiential Approach to Organization Development 7th edition
