Question
‘Control is considered important for many reasons’. Explain any five such reasons.

Answer

Control is important for many reasons: 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. Facilitating Coordination in Action: Coordination among all the departments of the organisation is necessary in order to achieve the organisational objectives successfully. All the departments of the organisation are interdependent. For example, the supply of orders by the sales department depends on the production of goods by the production department.
  6. Ensuring Order and Discipline: Controlling ensures order and discipline. With its implementation, all the undesirable activities like theft, corruption, delay in work and uncooperative attitude are checked.
