*******
5.1. Control
The function of control consists of those activities that are undertaken to
ensure that the events do not deviate from the per-arranged plans. The activities
consist of establishing standards for work performance, measuring performance
and comparing it to these set standards and taking corrective actions as and
when needed, to correct any deviations.
According to Koontz & O’Donnell, “Controlling is the measurement & correction
of performance activities of subordinates in order to make sure that the
enterprise objectives and plans desired to obtain them as being accomplished”.
The controlling function involves:
a. Establishment of standard performance.
b. Measurement of actual performance.
c. Measuring actual performance with the pre-determined standard and
finding out the deviations.
d. Taking corrective action.
5.1.1. Features of Controlling
Following are the characteristics of controlling function of management-
Controlling is an end function- A function which comes once the performances
are made in conformities with plans.
Controlling is a pervasive function- which means it is performed by managers
at all levels and in all type of concerns.
Controlling is forward looking- because effective control is not possible without
past being controlled. Controlling always looks to future so that follow-up can be
made whenever required.
Controlling is a dynamic process- since controlling requires taking reviewable
methods; changes have to be made wherever possible.
Controlling is related with planning- Planning and Controlling are two
inseparable functions of management. Without planning, controlling is a
meaningless exercise and without controlling, planning is useless. Planning
presupposes controlling and controlling succeeds planning.

5.1.2. Steps in Control Process

Controlling as a management function involves following steps:

COURSE I/C CONTENT Coordinator HOD DIRECTOR


Establishment of standards- Standards are the plans or the targets which have
to be achieved in the course of business function. They can also be called as the
criterions for judging the performance. Standards generally are classified into
two-
Measurable or tangible - Those standards which can be measured and
expressed are called as measurable standards. They can be in form of cost,
output, expenditure, time, profit, etc.
Non-measurable or intangible- There are standards which cannot be measured
monetarily. For example- performance of a manager, deviation of workers, their
attitudes towards a concern. These are called as intangible standards.
Controlling becomes easy through establishment of these standards because
controlling is exercised on the basis of these standards.
Measurement of performance- The second major step in controlling is to
measure the performance. Finding out deviations becomes easy through
measuring the actual performance. Performance levels are sometimes easy to
measure and sometimes difficult. Measurement of tangible standards is easy as it
can be expressed in units, cost, money terms, etc. Quantitative measurement
becomes difficult when performance of manager has to be measured.
Performance of a manager cannot be measured in quantities. It can be measured
only by-
 Attitude of the workers,
 Their morale to work,
 The development in the attitudes regarding the physical
environment, and
 Their communication with the superiors.
It is also sometimes done through various reports like weekly, monthly,
quarterly, yearly reports.
Comparison of actual and standard performance- Comparison of actual
performance with the planned targets is very important. Deviation can be defined
as the gap between actual performance and the planned targets. The manager
has to find out two things here- extent of deviation and cause of deviation. Extent
of deviation means that the manager has to find out whether the deviation is
positive or negative or whether the actual performance is in conformity with the
planned performance.
The managers have to exercise control by exception. He has to find out those
deviations which are critical and important for business. Minor deviations have
to be ignored. Major deviations like replacement of machinery, appointment of
workers, quality of raw material, rate of profits, etc. should be looked upon
consciously. Therefore it is said, “ If a manager controls everything, he ends up
controlling nothing.” For example, if stationery charges increase by a minor 5 to
10%, it can be called as a minor deviation. On the other hand, if monthly
production decreases continuously, it is called as major deviation. Once the
deviation is identified, a manager has to think about various causes which has
led to deviation. The causes can be-
 Erroneous planning,
 Co-ordination loosens,

COURSE I/C CONTENT Coordinator HOD DIRECTOR


 Implementation of plans is defective, and
 Supervision and communication is ineffective, etc.
Taking remedial actions- Once the causes and extent of deviations are known,
the manager has to detect those errors and take remedial measures for it. There
are two alternatives here-
1. Taking corrective measures for deviations which have occurred; and
2. After taking the corrective measures, if the actual performance is not in
conformity with plans, the manager can revise the targets. It is here the
controlling process comes to an end. Follow up is an important step because it
is only through taking corrective measures, a manager can exercise
controlling.
5.2. Types of the Controls
1. Direct controls
a. Called as the direct controls as the people here get so well tuned to the job that
there are very less chances for the deviations to take place.
b. Also called as the preventive controls.
c. Aims at the saving on the cost of the control.
d. Also aims at the zero defects from the initiation.
e. Great emphasis is given on the prevention of the need of the controls; to build
the systems, the procedures, the culture, the discipline etc.
f. But with time these types of the controls also get older and outdated.
g. For the proper functioning of the direct controls, assistance of the indirect
controls is very much needed.
2. Feed forward controls
a. Whenever a process is performed, two factors are very critical namely the
inputs and the outputs.
b. Here we take into account the various deficiencies of a process well in
advance, so that these can be cured or controlled at the initial stages.
c. The shape of the feedback controls is taken by almost all the controls.
d. It is advised by the various experts to have the both feed forward and the feed
backward controls on the process.
e. Helps in the establishment of a right direction and control right from the
beginning.

3. Feed backward controls


a. Here the controls are put at the output end as the deviations that occur are
not known to us till the moment of the output.
b. Very heavy cost is involved.
c. Results into the customer dissatisfaction.
4. Real time controls
a. Involve the instantaneous feedback almost in the real time, (real time can
defined as the time when both the creation of a report and its transmission is
done almost with no gap that one can almost read it at the time it is being sent)
for e.g. the fax or the telephone.
5. Automation in the controls

COURSE I/C CONTENT Coordinator HOD DIRECTOR


a. Here, mainly for the development of the control systems involving very less
human power, building of the instrumentation takes place.
b. Computers are used for the feedback systems and for the automatic
corrections.
Management can implement controls before an activity commences, while the
activity is going on, or after the activity has been completed. The three respective
types of control based on timing are feed forward, concurrent, and feedback.

Feed forward Control

Feed forward control focuses on the regulation of inputs (human, material, and
financial resources that flow into the organization) to ensure that they meet the
standards necessary for the transformation process.
Feed forward controls are desirable because they allow management to prevent
problems rather than having to cure them later. Unfortunately, these controls
require timely and accurate information that is often difficult to develop. Feed
forward control also is sometimes called preliminary control, pre
control, preventive control, or steering control.
However, some authors use term "steering control" as separate types of control.
These types of controls are designed to detect deviation some standard or goal to
allow correction to be made before a particular sequence of actions is completed.
Concurrent control takes place while an activity is in progress. It involves the
regulation of ongoing activities that are part of transformation process to ensure
that they conform to organizational standards. Concurrent control is designed to
ensure that employee work activities produce the correct results.
Since concurrent control involves regulating ongoing tasks, it requires a thorough
understanding of the specific tasks involved and their relationship to the desired
and product.
Concurrent control sometimes is called screening or yes-no control, because it
often involves checkpoints at which determinations are made about whether to
continue progress, take corrective action, or stop work altogether on products or
services.
Feedback Control
This type of control focuses on the outputs of the organization after
transformation is complete. Sometimes called post action or output control,
fulfils a number of important functions. For one thing, it often is used when feed
forward and concurrent controls are not feasible or are too costly.
Sometimes, feedback is the only viable type of control available. Moreover,
feedback has two advantages over feed forward and concurrent control. First,
feedback provides managers with meaningful information on how effective its
planning effort was. If feedback indicates little variance between standard and
actual performance, this is evidence that planning was generally on target.
If the deviation is great, a manager can use this information when formulating
new plans to make them more effective. Second, feedback control can enhance
employee’s motivation.

COURSE I/C CONTENT Coordinator HOD DIRECTOR


The major drawback of this type of control is that, the time the manager has the
information and if there is significant problem the damage is already done. But
for many activities, feedback control fulfils number important functions.

Multiple Controls

Feed forward, concurrent, and feedback control methods are not mutually
exclusive. Rather, they usually are combined into an multiple control systems.
Managers design control systems to define standards of performance and acquire
information feedback at strategic control points.
Strategic control points are those activities that are especially important for
achieving strategic objectives. When organizations do not have multiple control
systems that focus on strategic control points, they often can experience
difficulties that cause managers to re-evaluate their control processes.

5.3. Budgetary Control

Budgetary control is the process of determining various actual results with


budgeted figures for the enterprise for the future period and standards set then
comparing the budgeted figures with the actual performance for calculating
variances, if any. First of all, budgets are prepared and then actual results are
recorded.
The comparison of budgeted and actual figures will enable the management to
find out discrepancies and take remedial measures at a proper time. The
budgetary control is a continuous process which helps in planning and co-
ordination. It provides a method of control too. A budget is a means and
budgetary control is the end-result.
Definitions:
“According to Brown and Howard, “Budgetary control is a system of controlling
costs which includes the preparation of budgets, coordinating the departments
and establishing responsibilities, comparing actual performance with the
budgeted and acting upon results to achieve maximum profitability.” Weldon
characterizes budgetary control as planning in advance of the various functions
of a business so that the business as a whole is controlled.
J. Batty defines it as, “A system which uses budgets as a means of planning and
controlling all aspects of producing and/or selling commodities and services.
Welsch relates budgetary control with day-to-day control process.” According to
him, “Budgetary control involves the use of budget and budgetary reports,
throughout the period to co-ordinate, evaluate and control day-to-day operations
in accordance with the goals specified by the budget.”
From the above given definitions it is clear that budgetary control involves
the follows:
(a) The objects are set by preparing budgets.
(b) The business is divided into various responsibility centres for preparing
various budgets.
(c) The actual figures are recorded.

COURSE I/C CONTENT Coordinator HOD DIRECTOR


(d) The budgeted and actual figures are compared for studying the performance
of different cost centres.
(e) If actual performance is less than the budgeted norms, a remedial action is
taken immediately.
Objectives of Budgetary Control:
Budgetary control is essential for policy planning and control. It also acts an
instrument of co-ordination.
The main objectives of budgetary control are the follows:
1. To ensure planning for future by setting up various budgets, the requirements
and expected performance of the enterprise are anticipated.
3. To operate various cost centres and departments with efficiency and economy.
4. Elimination of wastes and increase in profitability.
5. To anticipate capital expenditure for future.
6. To centralise the control system.
7. Correction of deviations from the established standards.
8. Fixation of responsibility of various individuals in the organization.

5.4. Non Budgetary Control

Non-Budgetary control is laying control on your non-budgeted expenses i.e those


expenses which are not defined in normal budgeted expenses. The techniques for
these non-budgetary controls are:
Statistical data:
Statistical analyses of innumerable aspects of a business operation and
the clear presentation of statistical data, whether of a historical or forecast
nature are, of course, important to control. Some managers can readily interpret
tabular statistical data, but most managers prefer presentation of the data on
charts.
Break- even point analysis:
An interesting control device is the break even chart. This chart depicts the
relationship of sales and expenses in such a way as to show at what volume
revenues exactly cover expenses.
Operational audit
Another effective tool of managerial control is the internal audit or, as it
is now coming to be called, the operational audit. Operational auditing, in its
broadest sense, is the regular and independent appraisal, by a staff of internal
auditors, of the accounting, financial, and other operations of a business.
Personal observation
In any preoccupation with the devices of managerial control, one should
never overlook the importance of control through personal observation.

5.5. Characteristics of an Effective Control System

COURSE I/C CONTENT Coordinator HOD DIRECTOR


Controls at every level focus on inputs, processes and outputs. It is very
important to have effective controls at each of these three stages.
Effective control systems tend to have certain common characteristics. The
importance of these characteristics varies with the situation, but in general
effective control systems have following characteristics.
1. Accuracy:
Effective controls generate accurate data and information. Accurate information
is essential for effective managerial decisions. Inaccurate controls would divert
management efforts and energies on problems that do not exist or have a low
priority and would fail to alert managers to serious problems that do require
attention.
2. Timeliness:
There are many problems that require immediate attention. If information about
such problems does not reach management in a timely manner, then such
information may become useless and damage may occur. Accordingly controls
must ensure that information reaches the decision makers when they need it so
that a meaningful response can follow.
3. Flexibility:
The business and economic environment is highly dynamic in nature.
Technological changes occur very fast. A rigid control system would not be
suitable for a changing environment. These changes highlight the need for
flexibility in planning as well as in control.
Strategic planning must allow for adjustments for unanticipated threats and
opportunities. Similarly, managers must make modifications in controlling
methods, techniques and systems as they become necessary. An effective control
system is one that can be updated quickly as the need arises.
4. Acceptability:
Controls should be such that all people who are affected by it are able to
understand them fully and accept them. A control system that is difficult to
understand can cause unnecessary mistakes and frustration and may be
resented by workers.
Accordingly, employees must agree that such controls are necessary and
appropriate and will not have any negative effects on their efforts to achieve their
personal as well as organizational goals.
5. Integration:
When the controls are consistent with corporate values and culture, they work in
harmony with organizational policies and hence are easier to enforce. These
controls become an integrated part of the organizational environment and thus
become effective.
6. Economic feasibility:
The cost of a control system must be balanced against its benefits. The system
must be economically feasible and reasonable to operate. For example, a high
security system to safeguard nuclear secrets may be justified but the same
system to safeguard office supplies in a store would not be economically justified.
Accordingly the benefits received must outweigh the cost of implementing a
control system.

COURSE I/C CONTENT Coordinator HOD DIRECTOR


7. Strategic placement:
Effective controls should be placed and emphasized at such critical and strategic
control points where failures cannot be tolerated and where time and money
costs of failures are greatest.
The objective is to apply controls to the essential aspect of a business where a
deviation from the expected standards will do the greatest harm. These control
areas include production, sales, finance and customer service.
8. Corrective action:
An effective control system not only checks for and identifies deviation but also is
programmed to suggest solutions to correct such a deviation. For example, a
computer keeping a record of inventories can be programmed to establish “if-
then” guidelines. For example, if inventory of a particular item drops below five
percent of maximum inventory at hand, then the computer will signal for
replenishment for such items.
9. Emphasis on exception:
A good system of control should work on the exception principle, so that only
important deviations are brought to the attention of management, In other words,
management does not have to bother with activities that are running smoothly.
This will ensure that managerial attention is directed towards error and not
towards conformity.

Active Learning Techniques

With Peer Instruction, you pause during class and ask students a conceptual
question. Give students a few minutes to think about the question, and then have
them provide answers, possibly using clickers. Then, have students spend a few
minutes talking about their answers, usually in pairs, and try to convince each other
that their answer is correct. Then have students answer again
Thinking Abilities

UNIT - III

Let The Students “Teach”

Allowing students who do a research project to share the information they learned with the class

has two advantages. First, the student-teachers have the opportunity to improve their oral

communication skills. Second, the other students in class might learn more when they are being

taught by a classmate. “When students listen to each other, they often benefit from hearing

concepts being explained from different points and in ways that might be closer to the students’

way of thinking,” says the NDT report “Developing Communication Skills.”

Let The Students Pretend

Having students pretend to live in Colonial America before or during the Revolutionary War can

help them understand concepts of freedom and democracy much better than listening to lectures

about the subject. A play might help the students think more independently about these concepts.

Asking students to make or write a speech as if they were revolutionaries might also help.
