	Management by Objectives (Drucker). SMART (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		MBO relies on the defining of objectives for each employee and then to compare and to direct their performance against the objectives which have been set.
		Management by Objectives was first outlined by Peter Drucker in 1954 in his book 'The practice of Management'.
		One of the concepts of MBO was that instead of just a few top-managers, all managers of a firm should participate in the strategic planning process, in order to improve the implementability of the plan.

	MBO - Management by Objectives (free Business e-Coach)
		The principle behind MBO is to make sure that everybody within the organization has a clear understanding of the aims, or objectives, of that organization, as well as awareness of their own roles and responsibilities in achieving those aims.
		The complete MBO system is to get managers and empowered employees acting to implement and achieve their plans, which automatically achieve those of the organization.
		A manager should view members of his or her team much as a conductor regards the players in the orchestra, as individuals whose particular skills contribute to the success of the enterprise.

	Management by objectives - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Management by Objectives (MBO) is a process of agreeing upon objectives within an organization so that management and employees buy in to the objectives and understand what they are.
		MBO substitutes for good intentions a process that requires rather precise written description of objectives (for the period ahead) and timelines for their monitoring and achievement.
		For example, whatever else a manager and employee may discuss and agree in their regular discussions, let us suppose that they feel that it will be sensible to introduce a key performance indicator to show the development of sales revenue in a part of the firm.
