A Proposal for Implementing a Comprehensive Management by Objectives System in the Air Force Institute of Technology

Abstract

This report describes a proposal for designing and implementing a comprehensive Management By Objectives (MBO) system in the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT). The report includes three major sections. In the first, basic MBO concepts are introduced and discussed. Particular attention is given to identifying the pitfalls commonly encountered with MBO programs. The second section of the report describes a general blueprint for designing and installing a comprehensive MBO system that is 'custom fit' to the specific management needs of AFIT. The distinctive feature of this plan is a conceptual framework which is derived from the mission statement and which defines associated key result areas. the framework also provides a basis for systematically defining performance criteria and related standards and, subsequently, goals and objectives. The third section of the report presents a general plan for implementing the recommended system throughout AFIT.
