    1) Controlling refers to the process of determining if organizational objectives have been achieved and, if not, taking corrective actions to better achieve objectives in the future. It completes the management cycle of planning, organizing, and implementing. 2) Properly implementing controlling helps organizations achieve objectives efficiently and effectively. For a factory, controlling worker output helps keep overhead and costs at expected levels. 3) The controlling process consists of four steps: 1) establishing performance standards, 2) measuring actual performance, 3) comparing actual performance to standards, and 4) taking necessary corrective actions based on the comparisons.

    What is controlling?
    Controlling refers to the process of ascertaining whether organizational
    objectives have been achieved; if not, why not; and determining what activities
    should then be taken to achieve objectives better in the future. Controlling
    completes the cycle of management functions. Objectives and goals that are set at
    the planning stage are verified as to achievement ore completion at any given point
    in organizing and implementing stages. When expectations are not met at
    scheduled dates, corrective measures will be undertaken.

    The importance of controlling


    When controlling is properly implemented, it will help the organization
    achieve its in the most efficient and effective manner possible.
    The importance of controlling may be illustrated as it is applied in a typical factory.
    If the required standard daily output for individual workers is 100 pieces, all workers
    who do not produce the requirement are given sufficient time to improve; if no
    improvements are forthcoming, they are asked to resign. This action will help the
    company keep its overhead at other costs at expected levels. If no such control is
    made, the company will be faced with escalating production costs, which will place
    the viability of the firm in jeopardy.

    Steps in control process


    The control process consists of four steps, namely;
    1. Establishing performance objectives and standards
    In controlling. What has to be achieved must first be determined. Examples of
    such objectives and standards as follows:
    1. Sales targets which are expressed in quantity of monetary terms
    2. Production targets which are expressed in quantity or quality
    3. Worker attendance which are expressed in terms of rate of absences
    4. Safety record which is expressed in number of accidents of given periods
    5. Supplies used which are expressed in quantity or monetary terms
    2. Measuring actual performance
    There is a need to measure actual performance so that when shortcomings
    occur, adjustments could be made. The adjustments could be made.
    The measuring tools will differ from organization to organization, as each
    have their unique objectives. For instance, will use annual growth rate as
    standard basis, while other firms will use some other tools like the other market
    share approach and position in the industry.
    3. Comparing actual performance to objectives and standards
    Once actual performance has been determined, this will be compared with
    that organization seeks to achieve. Actual production output, for instance, will
    be compared with the target output.
    4. Taking necessary action based on the results of the comparisons

    The purpose of comparing actual performance with the desired result is to


    provide management with the opportunity to take corrective action when
    necessary.

    Types of control

    Control consists of three distinct types, namely:

    1. Feedforward control
    When management anticipates problems and prevents their
    concurrence, the type of control measure undertaken is called
    feedforward control. This type of control provides the assurance that
    the required human and non human resources are in place before
    operations begin.
    2. Concurrent control
    When operations are already ongoing and activities to detect
    variances to made, concurrent control is said to be undertaken. It is
    always possible that deviations from standards will happen in the
    production process. When such deviations occur, adjustments are
    made to ensure compliance with requirements. Information on the
    adjustments are also necessary inputs in the pre operation phase.
    3. Feedback control
    When information is gathered about a completed activity, and in
    order that evaluation and steps for improvement are derived, feedback
    control is undertaken. Corrective actions aimed at improving future
    activities are features for feedback control.
    Feedback control validates objectives and standards. If
    accomplishments consists only of a standard requirements . The
    standard may be too high or inappropriate
