Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After setting objectives in the MBO process, the next step is to develop action plans. This involves identifying specific actions that need to be taken to achieve the objectives set in the previous step. Reviewing progress and appraising overall performance come later in the process, after the action plans have been implemented. Having a company party is not a step in the MBO process.
