Application of MBO
Kay was excited. She had just returned from a manager's retreat where MBO had been discussed. This had never been used in her organization before, and she was enthusiastic about implementing the program in her department. She received the OK from her manager, the division head, who vaguely remembered having heard of the program several years earlier. Kay looked over the handout she had received. She was still somewhat confused on who was to choose the goals for the employees. However, she knew that the goals once chosen needed to be specific and have explicit time periods attached.
