Process of Goal Formulation

To formulate organizational goal is not an easy task for the organization. While making organizational goal, different steps need to be followed and here i have described three steps that need to be followed to formulate organizational goal:

1. Environmental Scanning

2.Formation of Strategic Goal

3.Formation of Specific Goal


1.Environmental Scanning:

                                           It is the first step of goal formulation. In order to formulate effective goal for an organization, an organization should scan or evaluate its environment. Here organization environment includes following things:

i) Political & legal environment

ii)Economic environment

iii)Technological environment

iv)Socio cultural environment


2.Formation of Strategic Goal:

                                                In environment scanning process, SWOT analysis is done. SWOT stands for Strength of organization, Weakness of organization, Opportunities of organization and Threats of organization. After doing all these scanning, an organization becomes ready to set strategic goal for the organization. Here, organization sets missions and strategy.


3.Formation of Specific Goal:

                                                  After the formation of strategic goal, goal is divided into small task or operation and provided to different sections of organization. Every organization has its own duty or task to do in daily basis and working in organizational structure helps them to reach their desire goal.


Purpose of organizational goal

In an organization, goal is formulated to contribute in enhancing overall organizational growth and effectiveness. There are many purpose of organizational goal and some of them are mentioned below:

1. Source of future guidance: 

                                              Organizational goal plays the role of guidance about future to an organization. It gives direction to the organization about where to to, when to go and how to go. Similarly, it guides all the staff members to do their task without any confusion.


2.Aid in planning:

                            Organizational goal helps organization to formulates its plan and to make decisions. Organizational goal is also known as the first or primary stage of planning and decision making because after setting goal only organization becomes able to start planning about how to reach their goal.


3.Source of motivation:

                                     After setting or formulating organizational goal, staffs get their role and responsibilities to perform in organization and all their roles are directed towards goal. Thus, knowing  their roles that are helping to reach organizational goal   ultimately boost their moral and motivate them to work more efficiently.


4.Evaluation and control:

                                       The main purpose of organizational goal is to evaluate and control the performance. Goal helps organization to measure the performance of organization and to evaluate whether they are directed towards organizational goal or not. And if their performances are not helping them to reach organizational goal then they can control it.


Importance of goal formulation

Generally, if an organization does not have any goal to achieve then there is no any meaning of their existence. Organizational goal gives reason to run organization. Here, some of the importance of goal formulation are mentioned below:

1.Organizational goal helps to provide future direction or future guidance to the organization to perform the daily task.

5.Organizational goal helps in effective mechanism in evaluation and control of organizational activities.


Problem in goal formulation

Well, formulating goal for an organization is very difficult task. Before formulating goal many things need to be observed and to be checked. At the time of making goal, management faces many difficulties and some of them are mentioned below:

1.Inappropriate goal:

                                 Inappropriate goal is the goal which is unachievable and unattainable by the organization. And focusing on such goal creates dilemma to goal formulation as well as wastes the resources of organization.

2.Improper reward:

                               The achievement of organizational goal must be directed or linked toward the growth and profit of organization, staff and society. Organization gathers its resources and hires staff to perform the organizational task by sitting in society. Thus, organization goal must be linked to these things.

3.Complex and dynamic working environment:

                                                                          An environment on which an organization serves its product is complex and dynamic. Environment forces like economy, technology, political system and market competition are changing day by day which are creating complexity to the organization to formulate organizational goal.

4.Constraints of resource:

                                        The main problem that most of the organization faces during goal formulation is lack of adequate resources. To achieve an organizational goal, an organization requires resources like human resource, capital and so on. Thus, lack of such resources creates problem in goal formulation.


Condition under which goal succession occurs

Goal succession is a process of changing course of action to adopt a new goal in an organization. Goal succession occurs when an organization modifies or amend an original goal of an organization. Generally, goal succession might occur in three different specific condition and they are:

1. When an organization achieves its goal in given period of time then at that time goal succession is occurs because organization must formulate new goal for its continuity.

2.When an organization fails to achieve its goal then at that time goal succession occurs because  an organization must modify the original goal in order to survive.

3.When business environment changes then at that time goal succession occurs because  an organization needs to change its original goal in order to face changing environment.


Condition under which goal displacement occurs

In this current time, all the organization carry their business activities to reach their goal within the changing environment. However, goal displacement may create problem in business activities. Here are the some condition under which goal displacement might occurs:

1.When an organization totally substitutes its original goals for some other attractive goals.
