Implementing Management by Objectives in Missouri Government Agencies

The term &dquo;Management by Objectives&dquo; (MBO) is well known to those familiar with management periodicals and textbooks. For the professional manager, it is a well developed and understood process. In government managerial circles, however, the term is either largely unknown or not fully understood. The objective of this paper is to make MBO meaningful to governmental units by describing its advantages and disadvantages, citing existing government MBO programs, and outlining the problems and solutions encountered in the application of MBO to Missouri government.
