You worked your way through college while holding down a part-time job bagging groceries at the Food Town supermarket chain. You liked working in the food industry, and when you graduated, you accepted a position with Food Town as a management trainee. Three years have passed and youve gained experience in the grocery store industry and in operating a large supermarket. Several months ago, you received a promotion to store manager at one of the chains locations. One of the things youve liked about Food Town is that it gives managers a great deal of autonomy in running their stores. The company provides very good guidelines to its managers. Top management is concerned with the bottom line: for the most part, how you get there is up to you. Now that youre finally a store manager, you want to establish an management by objectives (MBO) program in your store. You like the idea that everyone should have clear goals to work toward and then be evaluated against those goals. Your store employs 70 people, most work only 20 to 30 hours per week, except for the managers. You have six people reporting directly to you: an assistant manager; a weekend manager; and grocery, produce, meat, and bakery managers. The only highly skilled jobs belong to the butchers, who have strict training and regulatory guidelines. Other less-skilled jobs include cashier, shelf stocker, maintenance worker, and grocery bagger.Note: MBO provides specific personal performance objectives. Top management must be committed to the process for MBO to work. Instead of traditional ways, many organizations use management by objectives (MBO), which is a process of setting mutually agreed-upon goals and using those goals to evaluate employee performance.
