Controlling as a management function.

Controlling is a process of monitoring performance and taking action to ensure desired results. Controlling is the fourth management function, and its purpose is straightforward – to make sure that actual performance meets or surpasses objectives. A basic foundation for control is information that is well used for decision making and problem solving.

Controlling complements the other management functions. Planning sets the directions and allocates resources. Organizing brings people and material resources together in working combinations. Leading inspires people to utilize these resources. Controlling sees to it that the right things happen, in the right way, and the right time.

Done well, control helps ensure that overall directions of individuals and groups are consistent with short – and long – range organizational plans. It helps ensure that objectives and accomplishments are consistent with one another throughout an organization in proper means-end fashion. And, it helps

maintain compliance with essential organizational rules and policies. Today, this later role covers not only direct task requirements such as attendance and work hours, but also basic rules of propriety and respect for individual rights in the workplace.
