Explanation:

A well-defined objective is one that is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART)1. The goal of increasing sales of a mature product by reducing its price by 20% which would result in increased revenues of 2% over a 6-month period meets all these criteria, as it clearly states what the desired outcome is, how it will be measured, whether it is realistic and attainable, how it aligns with the organization's strategy, and when it will be achieved2.
