Ah, the age-old debate of goals vs. process. Deming would be rolling in his grave if he saw some of the corporate goal-setting nonsense these days.

A) is tempting, but Deming was pretty clear that goals alone aren't enough. The methods to achieve them are just as important.

D) is really interesting. I can see how goals without a clear plan could become more of a hindrance than a help. Deming was all about the process, not just the numbers.

C) seems like the most logical choice. Deming was all about empowering employees to make decisions, so having those responsible for meeting the goals establish them makes perfect sense.
