Answer to Question 1

When judging the extent to which an objective has been achieved, the following three aspects of the specific objective should be considered in comparison to what was expected:
Qualityin terms of how well the objective was achieved
Quantityin terms of how much of the objective was achieved, how many objectives were achieved, how often the objective was achieved, and at what cost the objective was achieved
Timein terms of due dates, the schedule, cycle times, and how quickly the objective was achieved

Answer to Question 2

Communication in an organization may not occur smoothly. The same organization might also have rigid hierarchies. Given such, a 360-degree feedback system, which provides feedback to employees from their superiors, peers, and subordinates, may not work in such an organization. Specifically, employees in the organization may resist feedback received from superiors due to the lack of smooth communication. The resistance may be especially strong when the feedback comes from peers and subordinates who are not superior to the employee receiving feedback in the hierarchical system.
