Management by Objectives (MBO) is a process that defines organizational goals and subordinate objectives throughout all levels in a systematic way. It aims to increase performance by aligning individual employee objectives with strategic goals. Key aspects include goal setting, action planning, and decision making. Employees are involved in defining their own objectives, and incentives are linked to results achieved. The MBO process follows a cycle of reviewing objectives, setting employee objectives, monitoring progress, and evaluating/rewarding performance.
