Target Management

The famous American management scientist phirt dulack has made great contributions to the formation and development of the target management theory. Afterwards, he made significant contributions to the development of the target management theory and management model. auan, in his monograph "target management", Audi. o'an regards target management as "a process. Managers at the upper and lower layers of the organization work together to set the common goals of the Organization, and determine the main responsibilities of the individual based on the expected results of the objectives, and use these measures as the guiding principles of the organization's operation and the criteria for assessing the contributions made by each person ". Summary The content of target management is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. You do not have to have a job with a goal. On the contrary, if you have a goal, you can determine the work of everyone.

2. Emphasize "self-control" in target management ".

3. implement goal management to promote decentralization in the Organization.

4. Focus on people.

The target management mode has significant advantages.

1. It sets a clear direction for the Organization's operations and sets everyone's goal clearly.

2. It integrates the thought of human nature management, promotes decentralization of rights, and emphasizes employee self-control, which can fully stimulate employees' enthusiasm.
