Advantages
- Clear goal focus – employees know exactly what is expected, which improves motivation and direction.
- Increased employee involvement – joint setting of objectives fosters ownership and commitment.

Limitations
- Time‑consuming process – the planning, monitoring and appraisal cycles require significant managerial effort.
