8. Controlling
SummaryThe managerial function of controlling is indispensable for achieving organizational goals. It is considered to be the last step in the process of management although it is a continuous and on-going activity. The function of control is performed by every manager in an organisation but its nature and scope varies at each level. In the absence of controlling function, it will not be possible for managers to ascertain whether the work performance in an organisation is moving in the right direction.
Meaning of controlling  The managerial function of controlling involves evaluation and correction of the activities of subordinates in order to ensure that plans are successfully implemented and the goals of the organisation are attained.
Purpose of Controlling
•        To find out the deviations in actual performance from planned performance and initiate corrective action if necessary.
•        To ensure that the actual performance is proceeding in the correct manner and in conformity with the plans.
Importance of Control

•        Controlling ensures efficient use of resources by minimizing their wastage or misuse.
•        Controlling facilitates decision-making as it helps to identify and solve ‘problems which may arise during the course of management through appropriate and timely decisions.
•        Controlling helps to boost the morale of employees-when the actual performance is in accordance with planned targets the employees feel a sense of achievement and pride.
•        Controlling helps in coordination among various departments and within; each department in an enterprise, as it ensures that each activity is carried out correctly. This helps in the smooth functioning of an organisation as all the activities are interrelated and interdependent on each other.
Process of Control
•        The first step in the controlling process involves the determination of standards against which the actual performance has to be measured.
•        The second step involves measurement of actual performance in the same terms in which standards are set.
•        The third step  in  the control process involves comparisons of actual performance against the standards set to find the extent and causes of deviation.
•        The last step in the control process involves taking corrective actions to remove the causes of deviations.
Relationship between Planning and ControlThe managerial functions of planning and controlling are interrelated and interdependent. Planning provides the basis of control and in the absence of controlling, planning is meaningless.
Features of a Good Control System
•        A good control system should be appropriate according to the nature and size of an enterprise.
•        It should be economical, i.e., its cost of operation should not be more than the benefits derived from it.
•        It should be simple to understand and easy to operate.
•        It should follow an objective system of measurement.
•        It should be flexible so that it can be modified easily in the light of changing conditions.
•        It should be forward looking, i.e., it must enable managers to identify deviations and take timely actions.
•        It should focus the attention of managers only on important deviations, rather than checking every bit of performance.
