From the Paper:

"To be an effective business-level manager in an organization it is critical to establish objectives for the department that are aligned with the corporate-level strategies and stated mission of the company. In order to accomplish this, there needs to be a formulation of precisely what the business-level objectives are, and the goals these objectives are intended to attain. The objectives need to be communicated in writing to the staff to eliminate any ambiguity of expectations. Documenting the objectives will also provide an effective way of defining the set targets for the department. The reports will also provide permanent records of the purported functions, targets, and goals to be used by the workers as a reference."
