Question 9

Multiple Choice

A) Measurable. For example, a profit of £3m in the financial year, or simply to break even
B) Achievable. The organisation must have the capability to attain its objectives; capability means staff, other resources and competitive advantage
C) Specific. Objectives must be specific,e.g. £3m profit, not 'to do well this year'
