The assesments help you to identify the various stakeholders of the organsiation, evaluate the operational working, the success achieved, the accuracy of the standards and how well the organisation is performing as per the industrial rates, norms, demand and supply forces of the market.

2. The disadvantages of the organisational assesments mainly includes the time and the costs analysis.
