Management by objectives
|This article has an unclear citation style. Learn how and when to remove this template message) (May 2016) (
Management by objectives (MBO), also known as management by results (MBR), was first popularized by Peter Drucker in his 1954 book The Practice of Management.[1] Management by objectives is the process of defining specific objectives within an organization that management can convey to organization members, then deciding on how to achieve each objective in sequence. This process allows management to take work that needs to be done one step at a time to allow for a calm, yet productive work environment. This process also helps organization members to see their accomplishments as they achieve each objective, which reinforces a positive work environment and a sense of achievement.[2] An important part of MBO is the measurement and comparison of the employee's actual performance with the standards set. Ideally, when employees themselves have been involved with the goal setting and choosing the course of action to be followed by them, they are more likely to fulfill their responsibilities.[3]
According to George S. Odiorne, the system of management by objectives can be described as a process whereby the superior and subordinate jointly identify its common goals, define each individual's major areas of responsibility in terms of the results expected of him or her, and use these measures as guides for operating the unit and assessing the contribution of each of its members.
Peter Drucker first used the term "management by objectives" in his 1954 book The Practice of Management.[1] While the basic ideas of MBO were not original to Drucker, they pulled from other management practices to create a complete "system".[4] The idea draws on the many ideas presented in Mary Parker Follett's 1926 essay, "The Giving of Orders".
After the term and idea were brought up, Drucker's student, George Odiorne, continued to develop the idea in his book Management Decisions by Objectives, published in the mid-1960s.[5][6] MBO was popularized by companies like Hewlett-Packard, who claimed it led to their success.[5][7]
Concept and framework[edit]
Management by Objective at its core is the process of employers/supervisors attempting to manage their subordinates by introducing a set of specific goals that both the employee and the company strive to achieve in the near future, and working to meet those goals accordingly.[1]
Features and advantages[edit]
The principle of MBO is for employees to have a clear understanding of their roles and the responsibilities expected of them, so they can understand how their activities relate to the achievement of the organization's goals. MBO also places importance on fulfilling the personal goals of each employee.
Proponents argue that benefits of MBO include:
- Motivation – Involving employees in the whole process of goal setting and increasing employee empowerment. This increases employee job satisfaction and commitment.
- Better communication and coordination – Frequent reviews and interactions between superiors and subordinates help to maintain harmonious relationships within the organization and also to solve problems.
- Clarity of goals.
- Subordinates tend to have a higher commitment to objectives they set for themselves than those imposed on them by another person.
- Managers can ensure that objectives of the subordinates are linked to the organization's objectives.
- Common goal for whole organization means it is a unifying, directive principle of management.
Application in practice[edit]
There are endless ways to exercise management by objectives. One must simply find specific goals to aim for in an organization or business. Many noteworthy companies have used MBO. The management at the computer company Hewlett-Packard (HP), has said that it considers the policy a huge component of its success. Many other corporations praise the effectiveness of MBO, including Xerox, DuPont, Intel, and countless others.[8] Companies that use MBO often report greater sales rates and productiveness within the organization. Objectives can be set in all domains of activities, such as production, marketing, services, sales, R&D, human resources, finance, and information systems. Some objectives are collective, and some can be goals for each individual worker. Both make the task at hand seem attainable and enable the workers to visualize what needs to be done and how.
In the MBO paradigm, managers determine the mission and the strategic goals of the enterprise. The goals set by top-level managers are based on an analysis of what can and should be accomplished by the organization within a specific period of time. The functions of these managers can be centralised by appointing a project manager who can monitor and control activities of the various departments.[9] If this cannot be done or is not desirable, each manager's contributions to the organizational goal should be clearly spelled out.[10]
Objectives need quantifying and monitoring. Reliable management information systems are needed to establish relevant objectives and monitor their "reach ratio" in an objective way.[11] Pay incentives (bonuses) are often linked to results in reaching the objectives.
The mnemonic S.M.A.R.T. is associated with the process of setting objectives in this paradigm. "SMART" objectives are:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Agreed/Achievable/Attainable
- Realistic/Responsible/Receivable
- Time-bound
The aphorism "what gets measured gets done," is aligned with the MBO philosophy.
Arguments against[edit]
MBO has its detractors and attention notably among them W. Edwards Deming, who argued that a lack of understanding of systems commonly results in the misapplication of objectives.[12] Additionally, Deming stated that setting production targets will encourage workers to meet those targets through whatever means necessary, which usually results in poor quality.[13]
Point 7 of Deming's key principles encourages managers to abandon objectives in favour of leadership because he felt that a leader with an understanding of systems was more likely to guide workers to an appropriate solution than the incentive of an objective. Deming also pointed out that Drucker warned managers that a systemic view was required[14] and felt that Drucker's warning went largely unheeded by the practitioners of MBO.
There are several limitations to the assumptive base underlying the impact of managing by objectives,[citation needed] including:
- It over-emphasizes the setting of goals over the working of a plan as a driver of outcomes.
- It under-emphasizes the importance of the environment or context in which the goals are set.
That context includes everything from the availability and quality of resources, to relative buy-in by leadership and stake-holders. As an example of the influence of management buy-in as a contextual influencer, in a 1991 comprehensive review of thirty years of research on the impact of Management by Objectives, Robert Rodgers and John Hunter concluded that companies whose CEOs demonstrated high commitment to MBO showed, on average, a 56% gain in productivity. Companies with CEOs who showed low commitment only saw a 6% gain in productivity.[citation needed]
When this approach is not properly set, agreed and managed by organizations, self-centered employees might be prone to distort results, falsely representing achievement of targets that were set in a short-term, narrow fashion. In this case, managing by objectives would be counterproductive.
Recent research[edit]
Management by Objectives is still practiced today, with a focus on planning and development aiding various organizations.[15] The most recent research focuses on specific industries, specifying the practice of MBO for each.[16][17]
While the practice is used today, it may go by different names - the letters "MBO" have lost their formality, and future planning is a more standard practice.[5]

Fellow AI blogger and the chair of our editorial committee Francis Fukuyama has shared some thoughts on the unfolding situation in East Asia. He may be overestimating the fiscal limits on American power in the region—we still seem able to run up large bills on our credit cards—but his understanding of the crucial role of Japan is right on the money.
The American-led international system that emerged after World War II involved the outsourcing of German and Japanese sovereignty to other powers. In Germany's case, it went to two multilateral organizations, the European Union and NATO, in which Germany remains firmly embedded. In Japan's case, sovereignty was outsourced to the US alone under the Security Treaty. The persistence of the historical issues has prevented the emergence of a broader multilateral framework to act as a backstop to American power; yet this is exactly what is needed today. There is an opportunity to fill in the G-zero world with new structures not invented in Washington, but that will take leadership and foresight from Japan and Asia more broadly.
Read the whole thing. In the 1980s people used to talk about Japan almost the way they talk about China today—as the inexorably rising power that would shape the future of the world. These days, people sometimes make the opposite error and think about the rise of Asia without taking Japan into account. Frank gets it; Japan's choices will do far more to shape Asia and the world than most foreign policy commentators understand.

Man, those were good times back in February and March -- headin' down to the George Allen seemingly every other week for a hearing in City of Dallas v. Museum of the American Railroad. But there hasn't been a court date in a long while, and there may not be much of anything till January 2011, which is when Judge Martin Hoffman has set the trial date. That means, of course, that the museum will still be parked at Fair Park come August, which is when the city wanted the museum out, out, out in order to begin leasing the space for the State Fair. Further solidifying its position till then: The museum just got its certificate of occupancy.
That said, a good Friend of Unfair Park directs our attention to the museum's Web site, where, last week, a press release never sent to the press, far as I can tell, was posted bearing the news that the Museum of the American Railroad has hired two construction companies to begin construction on Phase I of its new digs in Frisco. Says the release, one of the companies has been hired to lay track for the museum -- 3,800 feet worth, matter of fact, "including a connection with the BNSF Railway." And that, says the release, is "enough to accommodate the Museum's 2,650 feet of rolling stock currently at Dallas' Fair Park." It won't be cheap: Says the museum it needs $325,000 to begin work. I've been trying to reach museum CEO Bob LaPrelle all day to find out how "it plans to raise [the money] in 60 to 90 days," as per the release.
On a very related note, while I was on the museum's Web site I took a virtual stroll and stumbled across these brand-new computer-generated renderings of the new digs in Frisco. Collect 'em all! Says the site, you've got 25 years till the museum's completely built out, so no rush.

WorldGuard Drop Flags
"WorldGuard" extension that allows server admins to let items dropped in a region disappear after some time automatically. Additionally you can deny pickup of items in specific regions.
How to use this?
This plugin adds five new region flags to worldguard: "drop-despawn-time", "death-drop-despawn-time", "exp-despawn-time", "death-exp-despawn-time" and "allow-pickup"
If drop-despawn-time is set in a region the item will automatically be removed after the given delay (it does not override the default despawning of minecraft). The delay is set in milliseconds. It only applies on items dropped by players.
death-drop-despawn-time works the same way for items that are dropped on player death.
exp-despawn-time despawns exp dropped by players (with exp bottles) after an amount of time.
death-exp-despawn-time despawns the exp a player drops when he dies.
If allow-pickup is set to deny items in the region cannot be picked up.
So simply use the usual WorldGuard region command, like this:
/region flag <region> drop-despawn-time 5000
to let drops disappear after 5 seconds, or:
/region flag <region> drop-despawn-time 0
to instantly remove the item, or:
/region flag <region> drop-despawn-time
to set the flag back to default value (nothing).
The allow-pickup flag works as any other state flag in WorldGuard. Set it to "deny" with
/region flag <region> allow-pickup deny
to deny picking up items that are inside the region.
- none yet
The plugin requires the latest WorldGuard Custom Flags.

WorldGuard already has that built-in :D
/region flag <region> item-drop <allow/deny>
ConquestServer Apr 28, 2014 at 01:09 UTC - 0 likes
I see you made it so we can allow or deny picking up in a region, but could you make it so we can deny players from dropping items from their inventory when in certain regions? Maybe like /region flag <region> allow-drop deny ??? thanks. really need this, cant further my server along without it!!
MrKettling Apr 17, 2014 at 11:05 UTC - 0 likes
Hey, it works with "should not drop", but if somebody die in region where its not allowed to drop, he drops always his inventary. Does anybody have an idea to fix this? Aso not with these plugin? (But please don't say Modifyword ;) )Last edited Apr 17, 2014 by MrKettling

The reason why you doesn't work is cause you forgot that it realizes on another plugin bottom of the page for WorldGuard Drop Flags.
The plugin requires the latest WorldGuard Custom Flags.
But none of the flags do there job right now so it does need some updating because I can still pick with deny the pick up flag and clear items flag nothing is happening.Last edited Apr 07, 2014 by ryan1161

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Michael Mauti made it to the 1. He sprinted and followed blockers well enough to forge a 99-yard run reminiscent of a return you may have thought only the Steelers' James Harrison could offer. Mauti made peace. At the end of the first half, players from both sides taunted each other, and he said he entered the fray to put an end to it. Mauti made sense. After doing everything imaginable in Penn State's 35-7 victory against Illinois Saturday, he provided the obvious context. Nobody wanted to admit on the record that this game mattered more than any of the other 11 on the schedule. The Big Ten opener always counts, they said. Whatever. "I'll give you a little something," Mauti said. "Having to play against these guys, it was sweet. That's really what it was. We haven't forgotten what happened in the summer."

When selecting both original and bias adjusted variables, can ONLY show bias adjusted result
The display of past plots from gSocial ("gSocial news reel") while a service is being executed lingers on once the service is complete and plots are displayed. The news reel can be manually closed and this problem shows up intermittently.
When cycling through selections of service->location->variable, the calendar do not correspond to the correct avaialbe month from selected variables. The problem seems to cause calendar to remember the valid dates from previous selections.
Neural Network bias adjustment on MISR AOD 558 nm
Supports downloadable visualization results as PDF form
In AeroStat Satellite Colocated with AERONET data set, we use MAPSS database, in which the original aerosol measurements (ground measurement AERONET L2, satellites: MODIS Terra and Aqua, MISR, OMI and CALIOP) have been aggregated within a temporal and spatial domain around each ground station. In AeroStat, we only subsample aerosol products level 2 from AERONET, MODIS Terra, MISR, and MODIS Aqua. Specifically, we have AERONET_AOD_L2 v2 (440 nm, 670 nm, 870 nm, 1020 nm, and interpolated 550 nm, interpolated 558 nm), MODIS MOD04_L2 v5.1, MODIS MYD04_L2 v5.1, and MISR MIL2ASAE_L2 v22
In AeroStat Satellite Only data set, we use original MODIS Terra, MODIS Aqua and MISR Level 2 AOD products and process "near neighbor search" algorithm according to user's selection in time and spatial period, then process a simple gridding (0.5 x 0.5 degrees resolution) to netCDF CF-1 files/plots.
Supports both Time Series (filters and bias adjustment options), Scatter Plot (filters and bias adjustment options), Lat-Lon Map (daily gridded map with QA filters option, merged daily gridded map with QA filters option) as current services.
Support for daily spatially subsetted L2 variables (up-to 100 degrees in gridding box, and ten days), and generation of daily gridded data (0.5x 0.5 degree resolution)
Support for merging spatially subsetted L2 variables (up-to 100 degrees in gridding box, eight variables, and ten days), and generation of daily data (0.5x0.5 degree resolution)
Supports bias adjustment using Neural Networks for MAPSS station data on MODIS Dark Target and Deep Blue AOD (Satellite colocated with AERONET) only.
Supports for documentations for all variables/services from AeroStat Giovanni (except QA filters and bias adjustment)
Supports AERONET station selection using a map as well as a list.
Currently AeroStat Giovanni can not work in Safari and Internet Explorer (Windows and Mac)
Station Selection is Case Sensitive.
Loading from bookmarked URL (GSocial or copying from browser address field), annual repeating date is not loaded in the user interface.
Selecting the same variable twice (one is with non-bias-adjusted variable as the reference, another is with bias adjustment) in the Time Series and Scatter Plot services, final plot will contain only bias-adjusted variable.
Map plots do not include data filters information.
Data filters information is not provided in the output file for all the services.

Medical Radiation Sciences
Radiographers create meaningful medical images, enabling an accurate diagnosis of a patient's condition. They use equipment ranging from small mobile X-ray machines to larger units, from MRI and CT scanners to highly sophisticated cardiac units.
Radiographers work closely with radiologists to employ a range of technologies, according to the information provided in a medical practitioner's request, to create images that can help to provide an accurate diagnosis. They work closely with cardiologists in imaging heart disease, with surgeons during a range of operations, and with emergency doctors in the emergency room.
Career Overview
Graduates of the diagnostic radiography program provide images and data for the diagnosis and treatment of injury and disease. Diagnostic radiographers work in the hospital system and private practice both in Australia and overseas.
|Featured Expert
Professor Patrick Brennan's research explores novel technologies and techniques that enhance the detection of clinical indicators of disease, whilst minimising risk to the patient. His research has involved most major imaging modalities including X-ray, computerised tomography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.

Pool to open next week with temporary fix
The Vashon Pool will open for the season next week as part of a short-term plan the park district approved last week.
After a lengthy discussion at the Vashon Park District's public meeting on Tuesday, May 27, the park board voted to address the pool's drainage needs this summer by transporting waste water off the island at a projected cost of $7,500. Commissioners also decided to postpone a decision about a long-term drainage plan, including a financial agreement with the school district, until later this year.
The decision to proceed with a temporary solution, delaying a permanent fix to the problem, was met with mixed reactions by the heads of the park district and Vashon School District, which have disagreed over who is financially responsible for a drainage solution at the pool.
Park District Executive Director Elaine Ott said she feels her board made a solid choice.
"I think that $7,500 to keep the pool open while we make a more measured, careful decision is money well spent," she said. "It is good to make the right decision for the long haul."
At the school district, however, Superintendent Michael Soltman said news of the decision surprised him.
"I was not aware that to continue to haul water was an option," he said.
In recent months, the park and school districts have been working toward getting the pool open this summer, after it came to light that construction work at the new high school had interfered with the pool's drainage. Officials at both districts believed the pool's water did not drain to the school septic field, and those involved with the construction made decisions accordingly, leaving the pool's filters unable to drain. What's more, pool water is no longer allowed into septic systems, a piece of information that was lost in the recent staff changes at the park district.
Park district staff have been working to ready the pool itself, while the school district has been focusing on finding a solution that regulators would approve and that could be implemented as inexpensively and quickly as possible. The Department of Ecology approved a potential solution last month.
However, officials from the two districts have disagreed about who is financially responsible for any solution and costs incurred, and last month the park district, which operates the pool, turned the matter over to its insurance company. Shortly after, the school district, which owns the pool, asked that the park district pay half of the cost of the proposed solution — a pipe from the pool to a nearby drainage pond. School board members also voted to require that the park district be responsible for water monitoring required as part of the plan and any other needed measures going forward.
With the decision the park board made last week, Soltman said the issues surrounding the pool and a potential solution have not changed.
"We are in the same place where we have been for months," he said.
He added that the school district has invested $16,000 in identifying potential solutions to get the pool open and said he expects that financial outlay to be taken into consideration with any final agreement. Throughout the spring, he has stressed that he believes communication between the two districts is essential to reach an agreement.
"The only reasonable way is to work it out together," he said again in an interview last week.
At the park district meeting, Ott informed commissioners that the insurance company will cover the $25,000 the park district has already spent to prepare the pool this year and likely half the anticipated $32,000 cost of installing the pipe to the pond.
Later, Ott noted that the dispute over the pool was never intended to be contentious. The district simply followed the advice of its insurance company, which was to not negotiate with the school district.
At the park board meeting, however, conversation about how best to proceed sometimes gave way to commissioners voicing their frustrations with the school district and its proposal.
"Why did they get to cut their losses?" Commissioner Bill Ameling asked at one point. "They caused the problem."
"Not only did they cause the problem," board chair Lu-Ann Branch responded, "they are creating the solution. … To me that is like the fox in hen house," adding she didn't mean the comment in a negative way.
Laura Wishik, an attorney who serves on the school board, spoke at the meeting, providing both historical context and insight into how the school district might proceed.
In 2010, Wishik said, King County wanted to cease operations at the pool, but the school district did not want to take the responsibility on, in part because the pool cannot be operated during the school year without installing a cover and because the school district believes its mission is education, not recreation.
The park district stepped in at that time, expressing the desire to run it, Wishik recalled.
Wishik said she wrote the lease between the school and park district and stressed that it is not a typical landlord-tenant lease, with the landlord being responsible for what she called "externals."
"This lease does not say that," Wishik said. "Because the only way I could convince my colleagues on the school board to accept keeping the pool instead of telling King County to fill the hole with concrete, which is what some of my colleagues wanted to do … was if the school district had no future costs."
She added that during the high school construction, the school district paid $30,000 to hook up the pool's toilets and showers to the septic system. No one disagrees that mistakes were made during construction, she said, but added she believes blaming one another will not help create a solution.
"We thought and you thought that the rest of the water went somewhere that none of us had to worry about it, and we were all wrong," she said.
The majority of her colleagues on the school board "do not want to put a dime into the pool," she told the commissioners.
"The offer you have on the table in front of you is a major compromise," she said. "We are putting some real money into keeping that pool going. But the only way a majority of the school board will put that money down is if we know it is the end."
Following Wishik's comments, the park board commissioners picked up their conversation, considering the merits of various approaches, including a more expensive solution that might prove more efficient and cheaper in the long run. In the end, the board voted unanimously to open the pool with the water hauling solution, explore all its options and engage in conversations with the school district later.
Wishik, reached after the meeting, said she feels good about the park board's decision.
"It is a good pause to take, and hopefully we will end with a long-term solution that will work for everybody," she said.
Branch also said she welcomed the board's decision, in part because it will give the part district time to gauge community interest in the pool.
"I am not a pool-at-any-cost person," she said. "The greater community has to support the pool as well."
Branch added that as the two districts move ahead, she believes an additional conversation should take place, this one about the school district's role in offering swim programs.
"Why do they think they do not have a role in educating children in the sport of swimming like they do in other sports, particularly when they own the facility?" she said.
Acknowledging the contract between the park and school boards, she said she thinks there still might be options for more school district involvement with the pool.
"Just because we have a contract does not mean it cannot change," she said.
The pool will open Saturday, June 14, for lap swims from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Free swimming and a community party will follow between 1 and 7 p.m. with food, music, games and prizes.
Season passes will be available at a discount, and people can also sign up for swimming lessons and sailing camp.

This review is from: MSI Laptop GT Series GT683DXR-603US Intel Core i7 2670QM (2.20 GHz) 12 GB Memory 1 TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570M 15.6" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Pros: This thing handles everything you throw at it. Runs fast, simple overclocking, runs cool, amazing display. It runs BF3 on ultra with no issues. Read the specs, they speak for themselves.
Cons: No backlit keyboard, but I was aware of this.
Other Thoughts: I run a dual monitor setup with a 26" Razor LED Vizio with an external Logitech G15 keyboard and Razer Naga mouse. I can't really speak for the keyboard or touchpad because I rarely use them, but I hate all touchpads in general with a passion. I also have a wireless Razer mobile mouse for on-the-go situations, so I will never touch the touchpad.
Anyway, this came with 12GB ram and is advertised as upgrade-able. I purchased a 4GB stick of RAM from newegg, like always, to upgrade to 16GB because it was cheap, and heck, why not? But when I went to install the RAM I noticed I couldn't take off the cover because there was a sticker that said warranty void if tampered with. Hmmm..so I went to the MSI website and submitted a tech support issue and was told I could remove it and install the RAM without losing the warranty as long as nothing was damaged in the process. I received this reply in about 5 minutes, so MSI support is great!
This review is from: XFX GeForce 9800 GT DirectX 10 PVT98GYDLH 512MB 256-Bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Pros: Put this card in, logged on wow, turned all settings from lowest to ultra, ran without a hiccup. (other than a little choppy in dalaran, but this is because my card is seriously bottlnecked by my older machine)
Cons: fan a little high pitched and slightly loud at times, but it doesnt bother me at all
Other Thoughts: the box recommends a 550w ps, but I put this in a Dell e521 with the stock 305w ps and i'm having no problems. though dell does under-rate their power supplies for whatever reason.
the only other upgrades on my dell are 4x 1g ram sticks which i got here at newegg for <$50
I'm positive if I upgraded my cpu/mobo/ps this card would go from great to amazing!

Runners up in mobile ad impressions don't even come close, finds Millennial Media.
While Google Inc.'s Android dominates among mobile operating systems for number of total users, Apple Inc.'s iPhone and iPad are by far the top smartphone and tablet devices for processing the most ad impressions, according to Millennial Media's Mobile Mix Q1 2013 report.
Millennial Media measures ad impressions by device on its mobile ad network of more than 42,000 mobile apps and mobile sites, which combined register more than 420 million monthly unique users globally, including approximately 160 million monthly unique users in the United States, the company says.
Looking at the first quarter of 2013 by mobile device manufacturer, Apple mobile devices accounted for 36.87% of all ad impressions served through the mobile ad network, Millennial Media says. Rounding out the top five are Samsung with 26.96%, BlackBerry 6.47%, HTC 4.82% and LG 4.52%. Other manufacturers account for the remaining 20.36%.
Gauging Q1 2013 by smartphone, the Apple iPhone has a commanding lead with 20.41% of mobile ad impressions, Millennial Media says. Rounding out the top five are the Samsung Galaxy S with 8.71%, BlackBerry Curve 3.26%, Samsung Galaxy 5 2.30% and LG Optimus 1.89%. Other smartphones accounted for the remaining 63.43%.
Measuring Q1 2013 by tablet, the iPad accounted for 54% of tablet ad impressions while Android tablets had 45% and BlackBerry tablets had 1%, Millennial Media says. Among Android tablets, the Samsung Galaxy Tab accounted for 35% of Android tablet ad impressions, Amazon.com Inc.'s Kindle Fire 28%, Google Nexus 7 7%, Asus Transformer Pad 4% and all others 26%.
Examining Q1 2013 mobile ad impressions by mobile operating system paints a different picture. Millennial Media's ad network is serving proportionally more ads to Android and Apple iOS devices, and fewer to BlackBerry and Windows Phone. Following are mobile operating systems, Q1 2103 percentage of mobile ad impressions and Q1 2012 percentage of mobile ad impressions, according to Millennial Media:
