Eine klare Angabe, was man erreichen will.
The German word "Zielsetzung" is a noun composed of two parts:
- Ziel = "goal" or "target"
- Setzung (from setzen) = "setting" or "placing"
Meaning:
"Zielsetzung" means the setting or definition of goals, often translated as "objective" or "goal setting."
Similar words:
- Ziel (goal)
- Vorgabe (specification, target)
- Absicht (intention)
- Zweck (purpose)
Difference:
Unlike Ziel, which denotes the goal itself, Zielsetzung specifically refers to the process or act of setting that goal. Absicht or Zweck focuses more on intention or purpose, which may be broader and less concrete than a clearly defined objective in a Zielsetzung.
