Operational goal is the synonym for short-term goal. Time periods longer than one year are considered long-term and are called strategic goals. Psychologists tell us that our personalities help determine whether we prefer creating and working toward strategic or operational goals. As business majors we are expected not only to be able to do both types, but also to have the wisdom to recognize which type is best in different situations.
