FUNDAMENTALS OF MANAGEMENT
UNIT – V
Controlling: Control, Types and Strategies for Control, Steps in Control Process, Budgetary
and Non- Budgetary Controls. Characteristics of Effective Controls, Establishing control
systems, Control frequency, and Methods.
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.
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.

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
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’
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.
