Summary Introduction

To determine:

If the minimum-wage maintenance worker in the hospital really needs to understand any goal.

Introduction:

Planning is a process of making the plan before executing any work. The process of planning includes identification of goals and objectives, formulation of strategies, creating the means required and implementation and monitoring.

The First step of planning is to establish a strategic goal. The strategic goal is a statement defining where the company wants to be in the future. The strategic goal represents the whole organization's goal rather than to the goal of a division or department. After setting the strategic goal, the organization prepares its strategic plans. Strategic plans define the action steps by which the company intends to attain strategic goals. Strategic plans are actually the blueprint that defines the organizational activities and allocations required for meeting long terms targets. The communication of organization's goal is as important as setting these goals.

One of the benefits of a strategy map is that goals and how they are linked can be communicated clearly to everyone in the organization. Does a minimum-wage maintenance worker in a hospital really needs to understand any goals beyond keeping the place clean?
SHORT ANSWER If you were a business owner, which of these goals might you be able to accomplish using the framework of Theory Z or Theories X and Y? Could you use Theory Z to work on one goal and use Theories X and Y to work on another goal, thereby accomplishing two goals with these theories by using a different approach on each of the two goals? Goal 1: Improve quality of a product or service. Goal 2: Improve employee collaboration. Goal 3: Foster decision making skills in the workforce. Goal 4: Develop and maintain a successful workforce in a global environment. Goal 5: Develop strong leadership in the work place. Goal 6: Foster adherence to organizational values, ethics, and professional responsibility.
Goals in any organization can be broadly put under two main types. Name them.
