ABSTRACT

The purpose of control is to measure outcomes or outputs to see whether they pass or fail according to the mission, objectives, and strategy. Control is a valuable component of the planning process. It ensures that the organization accomplishes its mission and objectives. Control essentially means making something happen the way it was planned to happen. 1 At the business or corporate level, control is implemented by monitoring the company’s progress along a path of change, evaluating the efficiency of that progress, and improving the process of change in order to accomplish the predetermined goals or mission in the most efficient manner possible.
