Goal-Seng Framework

The first of six steps of performance
management consists of goal setting, as detailed in Chapter

Three. Assume that you work for the Los
Angeles Tribune, a large but struggling newspaper publisher

with distribution throughout the Los
Angeles region. Various problems have arisen that need to be

addressed:

The cost of paper is rising

The cost of distribution is rising

Circulation revenue is down

Advertising revenue is down, largely due to
free online listings offered by Craigslist and other

online advertising services

Customers are largely in the 40+ age range

The current number of employees cannot
continue to be supported if revenue continues to

shrink

You have been selected by the CEO to
construct a goal-setting framework that focuses on three of the

six issues above. In your APA formatted
two- to three-page paper, include a goal statement for each of

the three issues you’ve chosen and describe
the corresponding strategies, tactics, activities, measures

of success, and goal measurements you
recommend. Support each with your rationale, citing the

textbook as necessary, and be sure to
provide specific examples within the activities section. In

addition to your two to three pages of
written content, a title page and reference page are required.

For this assignment, it is possible to make
reasonable assumptions regarding the organization’s

economic situation and business climate. Be
sure to specifically mention any such assumptions that

you are making within your paper.
