Reciprocation / Integration among IG & OG END MEANS Chain – “Structuring GOAL into heirarcy”- Traditional view of goal setting.
where goal of lower level become means for upper level.(Goal of worker to produce goods
become means of mgt. to earn profit) This leads to a vertical net of “end-means chain”.
