Characteristic aspects of control as process management function

Abstract

A higher degree of complexity of the environment in which a company operates increases the need for control. In such circumstances, the uncertainty of future actions is expressed. Control enables efficient functioning of every organization by comparing the planned and accomplished. The control system has to be closely connected with the elements of the planning function in an organization, especially with strategic, operational and financial planning. Control as a process is required to continuously function because it determines the validity of the achieved output of the planning process. The main purpose of control is that, in accordance with the established, permitted or forbidden deviation from the plan, management intervention, through management function, activities are brought into the boundaries of a plan, starting from available forces and resources.
