Balanced Scorecard Organizations and upper-management often use a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats, and Trends (SWOTT) analysis model to concentrate on the company’s competitive advantages, their possibilities, evaluate how to improve susceptibilities, and avoid coercion.

In the model from (Hellriegel/Slocum, 2011, 194) The Model of Goal Setting consists of these factors: Challenge, Mediators, Performance, Rewards, Satisfaction, Consequences, and Moderators. Allstate’s goal setting process consists of four steps, (1) Succession Programming (2) Development (3) Measurement (4) Accountability and Reward. In my evaluation, I compared the goal setting program of Allstate to the Goal Setting Model in(Hellriegel/Slocum, 2011, 194). The first step of the Goal Setting Model is Challenge. It's our goal to provide challenging work that is interesting and meaningful and to reward employees' efforts based on a pay for performance approach.
