【参考答案及解析】
There is nothing to suggest that imposed standards are more likely to be achieved. Where managers are allowed to participate in the setting of standards, they are usually more motivated and this can lead to more acceptance of these standards. Managers should be targeted on factors which they can control, and be set targets which are specific to their business area. It is recognised that ideal standard do not generally motivate, therefore standards are generally set at an achievable level with some stretch built in.
