Show moreThis was prepared as the thesis required for the Master of Business Administration degree. Very little had been written on the management of voluntary organizations. The American Red Cross currently uses a system termed Objectives and Goals to establish priorities of service and periodically measure accomplishments. The problem area was whether the fundamental concepts of management by objectives as applied to the system used by the organization accomplished the measurement and correction of the performance of staff through a system of control. Secondary research concentrated on common practice and theory of the function of control and the system of management by objectives. Current manuals and instructions on Objectives and Goals issued by the American Red Cross were used for comparison. It was found that this system has the basic format of management by objectives but, as practiced, does not appear to function as a process of control.
