Business aims and objectives

Business aims and objectives This section covers the following: What business aims are What business objectives are Why aims and objectives are different between businesses Financial objectives Non-financial objectives

Key words Aims A general statement of where you’re heading, for example ‘to get to university’

Business aims Aims are the broad targets that a business wishes to achieve. Example: Aston Martin, the luxury sports car manufacturer, aims to broaden its product range to appeal to younger and female customers. Notice the aim does not say how this will be achieved in any detail. Aston Martin article

A clear, measurable goal, so success or failure is clear to see Key words Objectives A clear, measurable goal, so success or failure is clear to see

Business objectives Objectives are specific targets that the businesses can create to help achieve their aims. A good business objective should be SMART: Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Time-bound (has a time scale)

Key words SMART objectives Targets that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound

SMART business objectives SMART objectives help all parts of the business have a clear idea what they have to achieve, e.g. staff, managers. They also help senior managers with decision making. Example: Higgidy was a business set up to make posh pies. Their objective was to reach everyone with posh pies. The chart shows they are well on their way to achieving their objective of overtaking Pukka pies. Giddy growth for Higgidy

Differing aims and objectives Aims and objectives differ because business owners want different things from their business. Examples: To make money, to make a product no one offers, to offer a service, to be the best. Business objective example: James Dyson started in business to make a bagless vacuum cleaner. Business as a social objective: The Body Shop was set up to create environmentally friendly cosmetics. James Dyson

Financial objectives – survival The most important thing for a new business is survival Out of new businesses in 2016, 91% survive 1 year But only 40% are still trading after 5 years. Just to keep trading is very important. Small business failures

Key words Survival Keeping the business going, which ultimately depends on determination and cash

What are financial objectives? Profit – making enough money to pay bills or satisfy shareholders Sales – gaining as many customer purchases as possible –common approach among online businesses such as Facebook Market share – claiming as many loyal customers as possible, giving a business power in a market. Key term – market share The percentage of a market held by one company or brand Example: iPhones captured 48% of the UK mobile market – shops want to stock it as they are guaranteed to sell Financial security – having enough money to ensure the long-term success of a business – e.g. profit that is kept to invest in future products or expansions

What are non-financial objectives? These are targets that are not expressed in monetary terms Social objectives – aiming to help a particular area of the community or group of people Personal satisfaction – wanting to feel a sense of achievement through what your business does Challenge – being motivated by being stretched and pushed by the challenges that your business faces Independence – Wanting to be your own boss and ‘go it alone’ Control – Wanting control over your business, not wanting other people to tell you what to do or let other people or businesses dictate what your business does
