Read through this scenario and answer the following questions. You worked your way through college while holding down a part-time job bagging groceries at the Food Town supermarket chain. You liked working in the food industry, and when you graduated, you accepted a position with Food Town as a management trainee. Three years have passed, and you have gained experience in the grocery store industry and in operating a large supermarket. Several months ago, you received a promotion to store manager at one of the chain's locations. One of the things you have liked about Food Town is that it gives store managers a great deal of autonomy in running their stores. The company provides very general guidelines to its managers. Top management is concerned with the bottom line; for the most part, how you get there is up to you. As the newly appointed Store Manager, you want to establish employees' goals using Management by Objectives (MBO). You like the idea that everyone should be included in goal setting and in this way will have clear goals to work toward and then be evaluated against those goals. Your store employs 70 people, although except for the managers, most work only 20 to 30 hours per week. You have six people reporting to you: an assistant manager; a weekend manager; and grocery, produce, meat, and bakery managers. The only highly skilled jobs belong to the butchers, who have strict training and regulatory guidelines. Other lessskilled jobs include cashier, shelf stocker, maintenance worker, and grocery bagger. Discuss with suitable examples how you would go about setting goals for the jobs of butcher, cashier, and bakery manager.
