✓

Answer

Importance of controlling:
  1. Accomplishing organizational goals: The controlling function measures progress towards the organisational goals and brings to light the deviations, if any, and indicates corrective action.
  2. Judging accuracy of standards: A good control system enables management to verify whether the standards set are accurate and objective. An efficient control system keeps a careful check on the changes taking place in the organisation and in the environment and helps to review and revise the standards in light of such changes.
  3. Making efficient use of resources: By exercising control, a manager seeks to reduce wastage and spoilage of resources. Each activity is performed in accordance with predetermined standards and norms.
  4. Improving employee motivation: A good control system ensures that employees know well in advance what they are expected to do and what are the standards of performance on the basis of which they will be appraised.
  5. Ensuring order and discipline: Controlling creates an atmosphere of order and discipline in the organisation. It helps to minimize dishonest behaviour on the part of the employees by keeping a close check on their activities.
