Why is control important?,”Control is important because it’s the only way that managers know whether organizational goals are being met and if not
the reasons why. The value of the control function can be seen in 3 specific areas:1. Planning. Just stating goals or having employees accept goals doesn’t guarantee that the necessary actions to accomplish those goals have been taken. Effective managers follow up.2. Empowering employees. An effective control system can provide information and feedback on employee performance and minimize the chance of potential problems.3. 3Protecting the workplace: organizational assets must be protected in case a threat would happen. Controls and back-up plans help minimize work disruptions.”
