ABSTRACT
A critical component of strategic management involves the application of strategic controls to evaluate the overall performance of an organization. Strategic controls should assist in determining the extent to which strategic objectives have been achieved and in identifying appropriate corrective actions to deal with unanticipated changes in the broader environment. When an organization fails to achieve its strategic objectives, the remedies may include recasting these objectives, reformulating plans and programs, modifying organizational structure, and improving internal and external communications.
