Controlling as a Management Function

Controlling ::
It helps ensure that objectives and accomplishments are

consistent with one another throughout an organization.

It helps maintain compliance with essential organizational

rules and policies

REASONS FOR CONTROL OF OVERALL PERFORMANCE

Overall planning is applied to enterprise or

major division goals
Decentralization of authority
Avoid the chaos of semi-independent units
Permits measuring an integrated area of
managers total effort, rather than parts of it
Controls are necessary to check whether the
performance conforms to the plans prepared
by the organization.

Causes of negative deviations

Uncertainty
Lack of knowledge, experience, or judgment

TWO GENERAL APPROACHES TO

NEGATIVE DEVIATIONS

Direct control: the procedure that traces the

causes of an unsatisfactory result back to the
persons responsible for it and get them to
correct their practices.
Preventive control: the procedure that traces
the causes of an unsatisfactory result back to
managers management skill and knowledge.

DIRECT CONTROL
Direct control is carried out once the

deviations from the plans are observed and

then steps are taken to rectify them.
It is the procedure that traces the causes

of an unsatisfactory result back to the

persons responsible for it and get them to
correct their practices.

Advantages:-

PREVENTIVE CONTROL
It

is based on the idea that most of the

negative deviations from standards can be
overcome by applying the fundamentals of
management.

is the procedure that traces the causes

of an unsatisfactory result back to
managers
management
skill
and
knowledge.
