Abstract | This pamphlet is second in a series describing the Management Organization Systems Technique (MOST), whose essential function is to determine the goals and objectives of the college and then to assist management in the attainment and evaluation of them. The planning subsystem, central to this process, begins with a determination of the needs of the service community and the resources and constraints involved, then moves to a projection of this environment into the future. This phase is followed by the development of strategic alternatives and the actual decision-making process. Information is fed into the total system from the data and evaluation subsystems and data are generated for future use. When college goals are finalized, the planning subsystem demands that each department (academic and administrative) project its output based upon the college mission. Measurable objectives for departments, programs and courses are formalized so that their relationship to overall goals is clear. This function also requires significant amounts of information and generates more data to be used in evaluating performance. Since evaluation utilizes the measurable goals/objectives set in the planning process, planning can be seen as a cycle of events. A short bibliography is appended. (Author/JDS) |
