International Journal of Indian Culture and Business Management (IJICBM), Vol. 8, No. 4, 2014

Abstract: The present organisational goals are examined and evaluated from the perspective of Indian ethos to distinguish organisational goals into causal goals and outcome goals. If organisational strategy focuses on consequences rather than on causes the true potential of an organisation may not be actualised hence, rethinking organisational goals makes an attempt to uncover organisational causal goals so as to focus organisational energy at the strategic points. The strategic points of organisational causal goals are also identified as the intersection points of individual goals and societal goals and that provides the conceptualisation of the organisation from human-perspective to propose four organisational causal goals as knowledge management, competitiveness, corporate entrepreneurship and socio technical systems. These organisational causal goals are interpreted as human goals-based theory of the firm.
