A system, person, or organization that tends to achieve a [[Objective (goal)|goal]] and demonstrate it in subsequent actions.
 
 
'''Goal-oriented''' or goal-driven/goal-directed/purposive is a [[property]] of systems which are able to think/reason/inference using [[symbols]]. Therefore to be ''goal-oriented'' is the concept which is included in the [[ontology|ontologies]] of [[systemics]], and [[cognitive science]].
 
 
On the other hand, to be goal-oriented can be the formal property of a [[methodology]] . In such case, the assumed attributes of goal are used in the building of a problem solution, see for ex. Top-down Object-based Goal-oriented Approach ([http://erg4146.casaccia.enea.it/wwwerg26701/Gad-toga.htm TOGA meta-theory] ) of Adam M. Gadomski.
 
 
==Examples==
 
*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.
