Learning Unit 10
Controlling the management process
INTRODUCTION AND AIM OF THE UNIT
In learning unit 9, we discussed the third important element of management, namely
leadership. Control is the final step in the management task on the one hand, and the
starting point for further strategy development on the other. It is the process by which
management narrows the gap between objectives and actual performance. The manage-
ment process takes place between planning and control, and successful management
often depends on sound planning and effective control. We will now look at control in detail.
