Controlling F

Controlling consists of verifying performance aligns with plans, ensuring resources are used effectively to achieve goals, and measuring deviations to standard performance to discover causes and enable corrective actions. Controlling is a systematic process of checking actual results against plans and standards and using experience to inform future needs. It is a critical link between planning and goal achievement, facilitates delegation, and provides opportunities for oversight or change. The three basic types of control are feedforward, concurrent, and feedback control. Controlling is the final management function that allows evaluation of whether goals and plans are on target and what future actions should be taken.

Controlling and techniques

Controlling
Controlling consists of verifying whether everything occurs in conformities with the plans adopted, instructions issued and principles established. Controlling ensures that there is effective and efficient utilization of organizational resources so as to achieve the planned goals. Controlling measures the deviation of actual performance from the standard performance, discovers the causes of such deviations and helps in taking corrective actions

Definition
According to Brech, Controlling is a systematic exercise which is called as a process of checking actual performance against the standards or plans with a view to ensure adequate progress and also recording such experience as is gained as a contribution to possible future needs. According to Donnell, Just as a navigator continually takes reading to ensure whether he is relative to a planned action, so should a business manager continually take reading to assure himself that his enterprise is on right course.

Importance of Control
Critical link back to planning No control often sidetracks a good plan Facilitates goal achievement Are objectives being met? If not, WHY not? Makes delegation easier/better Provides feedback on performance of delegated authority Opportunity for delegation over-ride Trust, but verify portion of management

Three Basic Types of Control


Feedforward Control Prevents anticipated problems Built in at the start (or before) Concurrent Control Occurs while activity in progress Ensures standards being met; Correct before they become too costly Often built into new technology Feedback Control Control after action has occurred Good feedback on effectiveness of planning Most popular Easiest???

Features of Controlling Function


Controlling is an end function- A function which comes once the performances are made in confirmities with plans. Controlling is a pervasive function- which means it is performed by managers at all levels and in all type of concerns. Controlling is forward looking- because effective control is not possible without past being controlled. Controlling always look to future so that follow-up can be made whenever required. Controlling is a dynamic process- since controlling requires taking reviewal methods, changes have to be made wherever possible. Controlling is related with planning- Planning and Controlling are two inseparable functions of management. Without planning, controlling is a meaningless exercise and without controlling, planning is useless. Planning presupposes controlling and controlling succeeds planning.
