Principals of Management
Peter Drucker introduced Management by Objectives (MBO) in 1954. MBO is now over 60 years old and some modern theorists argue that its use is no longer a best practice in today’s global technologically mediated workplace. For example, William Roth (2009) argues that MBO deteriorates creativity, teamwork, and the flexibility to react in changing business situations.
Post a 125- to 250-word position statement as to whether MBO continues to be a viable management practice. Be sure to include specific business examples that support your position.
