Multiple goals page 158

Managers want to attain simultaneous goals, some of which may conflict.

Difficulties of analysing multiple goals:
  • Difficult to obtain explicit of the orgs goals
  • Decision mkaer may change importance of assigned to specific goals over time or for different decision scenarios
  • goals viewed differently at different levels of the org
  • goals change in response to change in the org and environment
  • relationships between alternatives and their role in determinning goals may be difficult to quantify
  • complex probs are solved by groups of decision mkaers, each of whom has a personal agenda
  • participants view the importance / priorities of goals differently
