Which of the following is an example of a strategic goal for a professional baseball team?
A) to increase attendance by 5 percent over the next three years
B) to increase television revenues over the next 5 years
C) to decrease payroll by 20 million over the next 2 years
D) to average over 90 wins a year for the next 5 years
Answer: D
Explanation: A strategic goal is any kind of objective that is not financial in nature. Increasing TV income, attendance, and decreasing payroll all have a financial component, so they can be eliminated as correct responses for this question. The choice indicating an average of over 90 wins a year identifies a baseball, rather than a financial, goal, so it is the correct response.
