Controlling
= the process of monitoring, comparing and correcting work performance
- The purpose of control
o To ensure that activities are completed in ways that lead to the accomplishment of
organizational goals

know that unless they’ve evaluated what activities have been done and compared actual
performance against the desired standard.
- Why is controlling important?
As the final link in management functions:
- Planning
o Controls let managers know whether their goals and plans are on target and what
future actions to take.
- Empowering employees
o Control systems provide managers with information and feedback on employee
performance
- Protecting the workplace
o Controls enhance physical security and help minimize workplace disruption

Whether controls are effective, then, is determined by how well they help employees and managers
achieve their goals.

control, they’d have no way of knowing whether their goals and plans were being achieved and what
future actions to take.
