Management by objectives framwork- a management system based on strict targets to determine the executors, who participate directly in establishing their close correlation and that rewards and ...sanctions to achieve the predetermined objectives. The main goal of the article is represented by the goals as management elements but also as the nervous system of the managerial actions. The presence of the functional deviationism in organizations, the need of reconsidering the functional deviationism in organizations, the need of reconsidering the strategic planning, all these lead under economic and financial crisis to the need of elaborating a tool which should the manager find an optimum combination between the limited resources and carryng out the objectives with a minimum cost.

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to integrate cultural value management into the high level of human resource management to propose a new direction of strategic human resource management (SHRM) ...development through management by the values (MBV) concept.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper proposes an integrative MBV SHRM model for Chinese management, incorporating Neo‐Confucian values for responsible, pragmatic and humanistic management, as well as two dynamic SHRM elements: leadership and learning. First SHRM in China is described; then the MBV concept and model are introduced. At that point, the evolution of cultural studies and Chinese Neo‐Confucianism is introduced before proposing an integrative MBV SHRM model for Chinese management.
Findings
Instead of the economic approach most often adopted by SHRM researchers, a harmonious managerial approach is argued for, based on the MBV triaxial model: ethical, economic, and emotional values, to orient the operations of the organisation.
Originality/value
This integration of three angles in values, management, and performance is novel in the field of SHRM. It not only contributes to the further development of the field, but also implies healthier and more sustainable practices in management, both in China and in the rest of the world.

This is the final installment of a series of articles providing an overview of the concepts associated with complex adaptive systems and methods for influencing organizational change from a ...complexity perspective. A sampling of change methods is described briefly in this article, and additional references and reading sources are provided for those interested in obtaining more in-depth knowledge. Richard Knowles developed a nine-step Process Enneagram model for change in organizations, which builds on the dual foundations of practical process management and the complexity of human behavior in organizations. Glenda Eoyang and Ed Olson wrote the book Facilitating Organization Change, which offers very practical tools and methods for change from the complexity perspective. Note that in their book, the authors make explicit reference to total quality management (TQM) and the quality improvement movement, noting that despite the many achievements of the TQM method, it was difficult to address the underlying complex dynamics of lasting organizational change.
