Answer to Question 1

Efficiency means creating more output with the same inputs or the same output with fewer inputs.
An effective objective helps achieve organizational strategy. Efficiency objectives seek to conserve limited resources, whereas effectiveness objectives help achieve company strategies. In other words, effectiveness is doing the right things, whereas efficiency is doing things right. Objectives, unlike the other characteristics, are not mutually exclusive; processes can have effectiveness or efficiency objectives, or both.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
