1) At IBM, we strive to lead in the
invention, development and manufacture
of the industry's most advanced information
technologies, including computer systems,
software, storage systems and microelectronics.
We translate these advanced technologies
into value for our customers through
our professional solutions, services
and consulting businesses worldwide.
2) Goals are a measurable statement
of the visions specifying the accomplishments
to be achieved if the vision is to
become real. Objectives, on the other
hand, are clearer statements of the
specific activities required to achieve
the goals. Remember that your objectives
should support your goal.
3) To maintain our current position
as one of the top programs in the
nation, we must work to identify and
enhance our strengths, correct any
weakness, and plan appropriate courses
of action in response to opportunities
and threats. A panel has been organized
to review the goals and objectives
of our program and to develop priorities
for future activities.
