It's modern way of setting objectives. Management by objectives (MBO), also known as management by results (MBR), was first popularized by Peter Drucker in his 1954 book The Practice of Management.[1] Management by objectives is the process of defining specific objectives within an organization that management can convey to organization members, then deciding on how to achieve each objective in sequence. This process allows managers to take work that needs to be done one step at a time to allow for a calm, yet productive work environment. This process also helps organization members to see their accomplishments as they achieve each objective, which reinforces a positive work environment and a sense of achievement.[2] An important part of MBO is the measurement and comparison of an employee's actual performance with the standards set. Ideally, when employees themselves have been involved with the goal-setting and choosing the course of action to be followed by them, they are more likely to fulfill their responsibilities.[3] According to George S. Odiorne[citation needed], the system of management by objectives can be described as a process whereby the superior and subordinate jointly identify common goals, define each individual's major areas of responsibility in terms of the results expected of him or her, and use these measures as guides for operating the unit and assessing the contribution of each of its members.

History[edit]
Peter Drucker first used the term "management by objectives" in his 1954 book The Practice of Management.[1] While the basic ideas of MBO were not original to Drucker, they pulled from other management practices to create a complete “system”.[4] The idea draws on the many ideas presented in Mary Parker Follett's 1926 essay, "The Giving of Orders".
After the term and idea were brought up, Drucker's student, George Odiorne, continued to develop the idea in his book Management Decisions by Objectives, published in the mid-1960s.[5][6] MBO was popularized by companies like Hewlett-Packard, who claimed it led to their success.[5][7]
Concept and framework[edit]
Management by objectives at its core is the process of employers/supervisors attempting to manage their subordinates by introducing a set of specific goals that both the employee and the company strive to achieve in the near future, and working to meet those goals accordingly.[1]
Five steps:
Review organizational goal
Set worker objective
Monitor progress
Evaluation
Give reward
Features and advantages[edit]
The principle of MBO is for employees to have a clear understanding of their roles and the responsibilities expected of them, so they can understand how their activities relate to the achievement of the organization's goals. MBO also places importance on fulfilling the personal goals of each employee.
Proponents argue that benefits of MBO include:
Motivation – Involving employees in the whole process of goal setting and increasing employee empowerment. This increases employee job satisfaction and commitment.
Better communication and coordination – Frequent reviews and interactions between superiors and subordinates help to maintain harmonious relationships within the organization and also to solve problems.
Clarity of goals.
Subordinates tend to have a higher commitment to objectives they set for themselves than those imposed on them by another person.
Managers can ensure that objectives of the subordinates are linked to the organization's objectives.
Common goal for whole organization means it is a unifying, directive principle of management.
Application in practice[edit]
There are endless ways to exercise management by objectives. One must simply find specific goals to aim for in an organization or business. Many noteworthy companies have used MBO. The management at the computer company Hewlett-Packard (HP), has said that it considers the policy a huge component of its success. Many other corporations praise the effectiveness of MBO, including Xerox, DuPont, Intel,[8] and countless others.[9] Companies that use MBO often report greater sales rates and productiveness within the organization. Objectives can be set in all domains of activities, such as production, marketing, services, sales, R&D, human resources, finance, and information systems. Some objectives are collective, and some can be goals for each individual worker. Both make the task at hand seem attainable and enable the workers to visualize what needs to be done and how.
In the MBO paradigm, managers determine the mission and the strategic goals of the enterprise. The goals set by top-level managers are based on an analysis of what can and should be accomplished by the organization within a specific period of time. The functions of these managers can be centralised by appointing a project manager who can monitor and control activities of the various departments.[10] If this cannot be done or is not desirable, each manager's contributions to the organizational goal should be clearly spelled out.[11]
Objectives need quantifying and monitoring. Reliable management information systems are needed to establish relevant objectives and monitor their "reach ratio" in an objective way.[12] Pay incentives (bonuses) are often linked to results in reaching the objectives.
The mnemonic S.M.A.R.T. is associated with the process of setting objectives in this paradigm. "SMART" objectives are:
Specific - Target a specific area for improvement.
Measurable - Quantify or suggest an indicator of progress.
Assignable - Specify who will do it.
Realistic - State what results can realistically be achieved, given available resources.
Time-Related - Specify when the result(s) can be achieved.[13]
The aphorism "what gets measured gets done", is aligned with the MBO philosophy.
Arguments against[edit]
MBO has its detractors and attention notably among them W. Edwards Deming, who argued that a lack of understanding of systems commonly results in the misapplication of objectives.[14] Additionally, Deming stated that setting production targets will encourage workers to meet those targets through whatever means necessary, which usually results in poor quality.[15]
Point 7 of Deming's key principles encourages managers to abandon objectives in favour of leadership because he felt that a leader with an understanding of systems was more likely to guide workers to an appropriate solution than the incentive of an objective. Deming also pointed out that Drucker warned managers that a systemic view was required[16] and felt that Drucker's warning went largely unheeded by the practitioners of MBO.
There are several limitations to the assumptive base underlying the impact of managing by objectives,[citation needed] including:
It over-emphasizes the setting of goals over the working of a plan as a driver of outcomes.
It under-emphasizes the importance of the environment or context in which the goals are set.
That context includes everything from the availability and quality of resources, to relative buy-in by leadership and stake-holders. As an example of the influence of management buy-in as a contextual influencer, in a 1991 comprehensive review of thirty years of research on the impact of Management by Objectives, Robert Rodgers and John Hunter concluded that companies whose CEOs demonstrated high commitment to MBO showed, on average, a 56% gain in productivity. Companies with CEOs who showed low commitment only saw a 6% gain in productivity.[citation needed]
When this approach is not properly set, agreed and managed by organizations, self-centered employees might be prone to distort results, falsely representing achievement of targets that were set in a short-term, narrow fashion. In this case, managing by objectives would be counterproductive.
Recent research[edit]
Management by Objectives is still practiced today, with a focus on planning and development aiding various organizations.[17] The most recent research focuses on specific industries, specifying the practice of MBO for each.[18][19] In addition, following criticism of the original MBO approach, a new formula was introduced in 2016, aiming at revitalizing it, that is the OPTIMAL MBO, which stands for its components, namely: (O) Objectives, Outside-in; (P) Profitability (budget) related goals; (T) Target Setting; (I) Incentives & Influence; (M) Measurement; (A) Agreement, Accountability, Appraisal, Appreciation; and (L) Leadership Support.[20]
While the practice is used today, it may go by different names – the letters "MBO" have lost their formality, and future planning is a more standard practice.[5]

This page in a nutshell: There are some items that are very commonplace for which sources verifying their existence do exist. But there are so many of these that can be verified given the same sources, there shouldn't be an article on each one, and only those with additional sources deserve articles.
It is not practical to have an article on each of these identical-looking cookie cutter homes
Something that is run-of-the-mill is a common, everyday, ordinary item that does not stand out from the rest. Something or someone that is "run-of-the-mill" is probably not notable. The phrase "run of the mill" appears to have originated from early factory quality control and described work that had not been graded and was therefore unlikely to be either exceptionally good or exceptionally bad.[1]
There are many subjects for which reliable sources independent of the subject exist. One may assume on this basis that they are notable. There are just so many of these things in the world, which are so commonplace that if an article on each were to be created, there would be so many articles on these alone, possibly more than there are total Wikipedia articles to this day and Wikipedia would be clogged with them, in the sense that it would be harder to structure content and it would make it hard to find notable material.
A street map shows every street within a city, down to every cul-de-sac with just four houses. Every city has several detailed street maps that have been published. In one square mile of an urban area, there are hundreds, even thousands of streets and there can be hundreds of square miles within a city and its suburbs. It is not practical to create an article on every street as the high volume might overwhelm the capacity of editors to maintain them. Almost every city has police and fire departments. These departments can be so busy that they are mentioned almost daily in the local news but again, they are just ordinary police and fire departments doing their jobs.
Many people have one or more obituaries published detailing the fact that they died, information regarding their deaths and often information about their families and lives. This information is published in a newspaper, a reliable source. But in a single major city, there will be dozens of obituaries published each day.
For such a commonplace item to be worthy for inclusion in an article, there must be sources provided other than those that would source so many others just like it. This shows that there is also something unusual, something unique about that subject so that the article is not just blank is blank (which would essentially be a dictionary entry) and that it does not resemble hundreds of other articles by containing mostly the same words with a few fill-in-the-blanks. Once such notability has been established, the common sources (e.g. a map for a street) can then be used to verify the accuracy of information.

Examples of items or subjects[edit]
This strip mall is probably important to the nearby residents, and it is probably mentioned in a number of local newspapers and newsletters. But this doesn't make it notable.
Some subjects in particular are extremely commonplace. This does not mean they are never notable. But it is surely not possible for all of them to be.
Residential[edit]
Nearly every house is listed in some directory identifying the company that built it and the people who live in it. This does not make it notable. There is a right to privacy when it comes to writing about a residence. Articles can be created on historic houses that a notable person has lived in or that are notable for another reason. Apartment complexes, housing developments and trailer parks, even though there may be websites about each one and even though they are often displayed on maps, are not notable on this basis.
Commercial[edit]
Shopping centers, strip malls, office buildings, business or industrial parks or medical centers may have a lot of information from reliable sources giving them bare mention.
In every city and town are single location businesses (e.g. retail, restaurant, gas station, auto repair shop, motel) and in some places, most businesses fit this description. Yet they may be mentioned in reliable sources.
Sports[edit]
It has already been accepted that professional athletes, regardless of their accomplishments in their field, may receive coverage. Local newspapers also cover high school and college athletes, in every city and town, there are several high schools and colleges and papers that cover them; inevitably, these athletes will receive coverage.
In professional sports, each game will receive deep coverage from the local papers of the team's city and at minimum, a box score from papers elsewhere. Each professional sports league has plenty of teams (some have more than 30) and a sports season has many games (Major League Baseball has 162 per season). It is not practical to have an article on every game ever played. Imagine an article on "July 8 Cardinals vs. Brewers game" and "July 9 Cardinals vs. Brewers game" and "July 11 Cardinals vs. Cubs game" and so on. More encyclopedic would be articles like 2009 St. Louis Cardinals season, which describe the highlights of the season.
What not to create[edit]
Some articles not to create based on common sources only are:
A restaurant that has been given reviews in the local papers
A local club supporting a hobby or interest, or a local organization promoting some cause
Regular-season games in a professional sport (A post-season series should be in an article about the series rather than in articles about individual games)
The local festival or other scheduled event that occurs annually
A bank that has been mentioned in the news each of the 5 times it has been robbed in its 30-year existence
The side street where once every few years, a news-reported crime has occurred
An ordinary political rally or candidate announcement or press conference
A lawyer who provides legal commentary for a local television or radio station
Dealing with a run-of-the-mill article[edit]
First, make sure the article is on a run-of-the-mill subject:
Does the written text seem to imply there is something unusual about the subject or something that may be encyclopedic? Just because something belongs to a category that might often be run-of-the-mill doesn't mean that the example is.
Examine the reference, sources and external links provided. Do they meet WP:RS guidelines? Do they come from international, national or local sources?
Is the topic one that is normally accepted by Wikipedia's guidelines?
If, after this review, you feel the article is, indeed, run-of-the-mill, you may take action.
Consider if any appropriate tags may be placed on top of the page in lieu of immediate deletion that may encourage others to improve the article. A suggested merge is sometimes an option.
Blatant spam, advertising, and self-promotion shall be speedy-deleted, marked with {{db-spam}}.
If the item (other than a person, business or organization) is a part of something larger, it may be merged or redirected to that page.
If something is truly not notable or is likely not to be considered notable, it may be nominated for deletion. This will give others a chance to discuss if it may be worth deleting the information. You may also start by using the {{prod}} tag to see if the deletion is challenged by someone else.

O'Riordan's first solo album, Are You Listening?, was released in May 2007 and was followed up by No Baggage in 2009. O'Riordan was known for her lilting mezzo-soprano voice,[5] her emphasised use of yodelling, and her strong Limerick accent.[6] She appeared as a judge on RTÉ's The Voice of Ireland during the 2013–14 season. In April 2014, O'Riordan joined and began recording new material with the trio D.A.R.K.

Early life[edit]
Dolores O'Riordan was born 6 September 1971 in Ballybricken, County Limerick, the youngest of nine children, two of whom died in infancy.[7] Her six siblings include Terence, Brendan, Donal, PJ, Joseph, and Angela.[8] Her father, Terence Patrick "Terry" O'Riordan (1937–2011),[8] was a farm labourer who was left unable to work due to brain damage caused by a motorbike accident in 1968.[9] Her mother, Eileen, was a school caterer. She attended Laurel Hill Coláiste FCJ school in Limerick.[7][10]
In 2013, O'Riordan described how, from the age of eight, she was sexually abused for four years by someone she trusted.[11]
Career[edit]
The Cranberries[edit]
Main article: The Cranberries

In 1990 O'Riordan auditioned for and won the role of lead singer for a band called the Cranberry Saw Us (later changed to the Cranberries).[12] Before going on hiatus in 2003, they released five albums: Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? (1993), No Need to Argue (1994), To the Faithful Departed (1996), Bury the Hatchet (1999), and Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (2001), and a greatest-hits compilation, Stars: The Best of 1992-2002.[13]
O'Riordan has been recognised as a style icon, sporting a pixie cut or buzzed hair in the 1990s[14] and performing barefoot, saying "it just feels comfortable and honest to pull your toes along the ground."[15]
In January 2009, the University Philosophical Society (Trinity College, Dublin) invited The Cranberries to reunite for a concert celebrating O'Riordan's appointment as an honorary member of the Society, which led the band members to consider reuniting for a tour and a recording session.[16][17][18]
On 25 August 2009, while promoting her solo album No Baggage in New York City on 101.9 RXP radio, O'Riordan announced the reunion of the Cranberries for a world tour. The tour began in North America in mid-November, followed by South America in mid-January 2010 and Europe in March 2010.[19] Also touring with the original members of The Cranberries was Denny DeMarchi, who played the keyboard for O'Riordan's solo albums.[20] The band played songs from O'Riordan's solo albums, many of the Cranberries' classics, as well as new songs. On 9 June 2010 The Cranberries performed at the Special Olympics opening ceremony at Thomond Park in Limerick; it was the first time the band had performed in their native city in over 15 years.[21]
On 26 May 2016, the band announced that they planned to start a tour in Europe. The first show was held on 3 June.[22]
Solo career[edit]

In 2004, she appeared with the Italian artist Zucchero on the album Zu & Co., with the song "Pure Love". The album also featured other artists such as Sting, Sheryl Crow, Luciano Pavarotti, Miles Davis, John Lee Hooker, Macy Gray, and Eric Clapton. The same year she worked with composer Angelo Badalamenti of Twin Peaks fame on the Evilenko soundtrack, providing vocals on several tracks, including "Angels Go to Heaven", the movie's theme song.[23][24]
In 2005, she appeared on the Jam & Spoon's album Tripomatic Fairytales 3003 as a guest vocalist on the track "Mirror Lover".[25] She made a cameo appearance in the Adam Sandler comedy Click, released on 23 June 2006, as a wedding singer performing an alternate version of The Cranberries' "Linger", set to strings. Her first single, "Ordinary Day", was produced by BRIT Awards winner, Youth, whose previous credits included The Verve, Embrace, Primal Scream, U2, and Paul McCartney.[26] O'Riordan made an appearance live on The Late Late Show on 20 April 2007.[27]
Are You Listening? was released in Ireland in 4 May 2007, in Europe on 7 May, and in North America on 15 May. "Ordinary Day" was its first single, released in late April. The video for "Ordinary Day" was shot in Prague. In August "When We Were Young" was released as the second single from the album.[28][29]
In 2006, O'Riordan was listed among the 10 richest women in Ireland.[30]
On 19 November 2007, she cancelled the remainder of her European Tour (Lille, Paris, Luxembourg, Warsaw, and Prague) due to illness.[31] In December she performed in a few small American clubs, including Des Moines, Nashville, and a well-received free show in Charlottesville, Virginia.[32] Her second album, No Baggage, featuring 11 tracks, was released in August 2009.[33]
In 2008, O'Riordan won an EBBA Award. Every year the European Border Breakers Awards recognise the success of ten emerging artists or groups who reached audiences outside their own countries with their first internationally released album in the past year.[34]
She appeared as a judge on RTÉ's The Voice of Ireland during the 2013–14 season.[35]
D.A.R.K.[edit]
Main article: D.A.R.K.
O'Riordan began recording new material with Jetlag, a collaboration between Andy Rourke of The Smiths and Olé Koretsky, in April 2014. They then formed a trio under the name D.A.R.K. Their first album, Science Agrees, was released in September 2016.[36][37]
Personal life[edit]
On 18 July 1994, O'Riordan married Don Burton, the former tour manager of Duran Duran, at Holy Cross Abbey in Co. Tipperary. The couple had three children (Taylor (b. 1997), Molly (b. 2001), and Dakota (b. 2005).[38] In 1998, the couple bought a 61-hectare (150-acre) stud farm, called Riversfield Stud, located in Kilmallock, County Limerick, selling it in 2004. They then moved to Howth, County Dublin, and spent summers in a log cabin in Buckhorn, Ontario, Canada.[39][40] In 2009, the family moved full-time to Buckhorn.[41]
In August 2013, she returned to live in Ireland. She and Burton ended their relationship in late 2014 after 20 years together.[42] They later divorced.[43]
O'Riordan was raised as a Roman Catholic. Her mother is a devout Catholic who chose her daughter's name in reference to the Lady of the Seven Dolours.[44]
She admired Pope John Paul II,[45] whom she met twice, in 2001 and 2002.[46] She performed at the invitation of Pope Francis in 2013 at the Vatican's annual Christmas concert.[47]
In September 1995, she performed Ave Maria along with Luciano Pavarotti; Princess Diana, who attended the live performance, told O'Riordan that the song brought her to tears.[48]
In November 2014, O'Riordan was arrested and charged in connection with air rage on an Aer Lingus flight from New York to Shannon. During the flight she grew verbally and physically abusive with crew. When police were arresting her, she resisted, reminding them her taxes paid their wages and shouting "I'm the Queen of Limerick! I'm an icon!", headbutting one Garda officer and spitting at another.[49] Later she told the media that she had been stressed from living in New York hotels following the end of her 20-year marriage.[50] The judge hearing her case agreed to dismiss all charges if she apologised in writing to her victims and contributed €6,000 to the court poor box.[49]
In May 2017, she publicly discussed her bipolar disorder, which she said had been diagnosed two years earlier.[51] That same month, the Cranberries cited her back problems as the reason for cancelling the second part of the group's European tour. In late 2017, O'Riordan said she was recovering and performed at a private event.[52][53]
Death[edit]
Wikinews has related news: Irish rock band The Cranberries' lead singer Dolores O'Riordan dies at 46
On 15 January 2018, at the age of 46, while in London for a recording session, O'Riordan died unexpectedly at the London Hilton on Park Lane hotel in Mayfair.[35][54]
The cause of death was not immediately made public;[55] police said it was not being treated as suspicious.[56] The coroner's office said the results of its inquiry would not be released until April at the earliest.[57]
Funeral plans included a service reserved for extended family and close friends.[58] A three-day memorial, with O'Riordan lying in public repose at her hometown in an open casket, lasted from 20–22 January at St Joseph's church, where O'Riordan's songs were played, while photographs of the singer performing and one of her with the Pope were placed along the walls.[59][60][61]
On 23 January, she was buried after a service at Saint Ailbe's Roman Catholic Church, Ballybricken, County Limerick; it began with the recording of the "Ave Maria", sung by O'Riordan and Luciano Pavarotti. At the end of the service the Cranberries' song "When You're Gone" was played. Among the attendees at her funeral were her mother, Eileen; her three children, Taylor, Molly, and Dakota and their father, O'Riordan's former husband, Don Burton; her sister, Angela, and brothers Terence, Brendan, Donal, Joseph, and PJ; Cranberries members Noel Hogan, Mike Hogan, and Fergal Lawler; former rugby union player Ronan O'Gara,[62] and her boyfriend Olé Koretsky.[63] O'Riordan was buried alongside her father in the same grave at Friarstown, County Limerick.[64]
Tributes, reactions and legacy[edit]
Irish President Michael D. Higgins was one of the first to pay tribute.[65] Other early tributes came in from across the music world, including Dave Davies (of the Kinks), Hozier, and Kodaline.[66] The Taoiseach of Ireland, Leo Varadkar, also paid tribute to O'Riordan.[67] Polish President Andrzej Duda paid tribute as well.[68] Also, as a tribute, the Avett Brothers covered The Cranberries song "Linger".[69] On 18 January, the heavy metal band Bad Wolves released a cover of "Zombie" (originally by The Cranberries), which charted on multiple Billboard charts[70][71] O'Riordan, was supposed to have performed the song with the band, but died prior to recording it.[70] On 28 January, a children's choir from New York City sang The Cranberries song "Dreams" in O'Riordan's memory.[72]
