objective is broader than a goal, and one objective can be broken down into a number of
specific goals.

3. - Hierarchy Of Objectives
hierarchy of objectives is a graded series in which an organization‘s goals are
supported by each succeeding managerial level down to the level of the individual.

The concept of network of objectives implies that once objectives are established for
every department and every individual in an organization, these subsidiary objectives
should contribute to meet the basic objectives of the total organization.
- Multiplicity of Objectives
 Organizations pursue multifarious objectives. At every level in the hierarchy goals are
likely to be multiple.
