The Objectives of the Organization: A Managerial Approach

Any methodological scenario has, as a starting point, a certain type of objectives - fundamental, derivatives, specific or individual - and as a final point, obtaining some results at least at the assumed objective level. Everyone talks about objectives, organizations are established and operate to achieve objectives, managers rely on a certain type of benefit by reference to what is obtained in achieving the objectives. Objectives are, unquestionably, one of the most commonly used terms to all organizational levels of the economy and society, but especially at the organization level. Unfortunately, the meaning we give this concept is not always the real. Such a statement can be sustained in the public institutions where objectives intermingle with tasks or resposabilities (and vice versa), generating confusion among managers and execution positions. Approaching objectives, starting with defining and continuing with the foundation, evaluating the results, motivation depending on the degree of the objectives achievement and ending with taking responsibility, is thus not only necessary but also opportune.
