Learn: Business Objectives

Welcome!Today we'll learn about business objectives. These are the goals a business aims to achieve. Let's explore why they matter and how they guide decision-making.

What are Business Objectives?Business objectives are specific, measurable goals that a business sets to achieve success. They help businesses focus their resources and make decisions to meet their aims. Objectives can be financial, such as increasing profit, or non-financial, like improving customer satisfaction.

Types of Business ObjectivesBusinesses have different types of objectives. Financial objectives include making profit, increasing revenue, and managing costs. Non-financial objectives include improving employee morale, supporting the community, or protecting the environment.

Why Do Businesses Set Objectives?Objectives give businesses direction and purpose. They help measure success and ensure everyone in the organisation works towards the same goals. For example, a new business might focus on survival, while an established business may aim for growth.

Influences on Business ObjectivesObjectives can be influenced by factors such as the size of the business, its sector, and the economic environment. For example, during a recession, businesses may prioritise cost management over growth.
