Management by Objective in the Air Force Tactical Air Command Telecommunication Environment.

Abstract

Maintaining a high degree of readiness is a critical factor in the performance of the Air Force's Tactical Air Command (TAC) telecommunication mission. TAC's telecommunication is contained in its Tactical Air Control System (TACS). To maintain its desired status and adequately perform its mission, TAC must have a system of management which combines the sophistication and technology of its telecommunication environment with the intricacies and complexity of human interaction. The system must be flexible, priority-oriented, efficient and effective. The purpose of this thesis is to provide an analysis of Management by Objective (MBO) and its probable application as a management technique in TAC's telecommunication environment. MBO is discussed in detail so that the reader will have a sound understanding of the concept. The analysis effort is designed to examine possible problems related to implementation and operation that may assist in TAC's application of MBO.
