Bus/Financial - Management | | | | targeted planning, targeted program planning | Explanation:
"targeted program planning"
This version I've heard from a top Russian economist, speaking English. There are quite a lot of other ways this has been translated, over the years, including:
"objective-geared program(me) planning"
A UNESCO book uses this, citing a Soviet-translated (Progress Publishers) book on Soviet science.
http://books.google.com/books?id=z4kZAAAAIAAJ&q="programmno-...
"program(me) goal planning"
Used by Stephen Fortescue in "Science in the Soviet Union" (1990).
"planning by objective"
This phrase, adopted from its wide use in the West, was employed in a U.S. Bureau of the Census volume on USSR technological innovation, evidently for this term because they awkwardly explain in parentheses, "program-goal", "object-purpose". |
