Goal-oriented




Goal-oriented or goal-driven/goal-directed/purposive is a Property of systems which are able to think/reason/inference using Symbols .

To be ''goal-oriented'' is the concept which is included in the Ontologies of Systemics , Cognitive Science and Engineering .

In the case of the and Object-based Ontology with a formal goal-oriented approach. Two basic classes of goals are distinguished, the engineering ''design-goal'', and the cognitive ''intervention-goal''. The primary relates to all designed systems, and, in the case of a human organization, is called ''foundation-goal''.
For both mentioned goals, the goal-oriented modelling works as a filter which enables to recognize important for the modeller properties of his/her domain of activity/interest.

EXAMPLES

  • In engineering, an autonomous device can be goal-oriented. (A robotic car that drives from point A to point B, for example.)

  • In cognitive science, in the case of a Sub-symbolic reasoning the concept ''goal'' is not "visible"/perceived neither for the reasoning system nor for its observer.

  • In Psychology , Socio-cognitive research and Artificial Intelligence , human rational behaviour is also goal-oriented.

  • In Organization sciences, the identification of an intervention goal of an individual and his/her goal-oriented behaviour, is more complex because, in real situation:

  • --- every human usually has more than one goal,

  • --- declared goal can be not congruent with his/her behavior,

  • --- organization goals can not be the goal of its employers.
