Explanation

Management by Objectives (MBO) was popularized by Peter F. Drucker in his 1954 book 'The Practice of Management.' While the concept has earlier roots, Drucker systematically developed and promoted MBO as a comprehensive management philosophy focusing on setting specific, measurable goals and evaluating performance against them. F.W. Taylor is associated with scientific management, Maslow with motivation theory, and Fayol with administrative principles.
