A. Employees are motivated to do whatever it takes to reach the goals.

B. Goals are more likely to be achieved because management and employees focus their efforts on doing so.

C. Aligns individual and departmental goals with company goals.

Explanation:

A, B and C selected above are advantages of management by objectives.

Management by Objectives (MBO) also called Management by Results, is a style of management in which management consults with employees in setting goals and objectives for the organization.

They then work together and focus on achieving the set goals and objectives, one after the other, and performances of employees are appraised according to set standards as they go along.

Since the employees are involved in setting the goals, they are highly motivated to work towards achieving them.
