Details: Provide to senior management a detailed summary explanation of the long-term and short-term goals that are vital in setting direction for the company.

Please post your point of view that includes the following:
Give an explanation to your managers about the meaning and importance of short-term and long-term goals, and why these goals should be included in a management plan.
Write a discussion regarding whether these goals should be changed before or after the plan is developed, and why.
Discuss the impacts goal implementation has on the company and how the company would be impacted if goals are changed after the plan is instituted.
