What would happen if controlling is excluded in the functions of management? When I was searching about the meaning of controlling, I found different definitions. One of the simplest of all was controlling inclined to    control the behaviour of others. But what if the word controlling is used in the functions of management. There are four or five functions of    management. In accordance to Henri Fayol, he identified this, which he labelled as planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling. He was one of the first theorists to describe functions of management in his 1916 book “Administration Industrielle et Generale”. He also gained world-wide fame for his 14 principles of management. Henri Fayol is often called as the founding father of the Administration School. The planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling focus on the relationship between management and its personnel and they give points of     reference in order the problems can solved in a creative manner. But the most recognized and widely accepted are the functions of management given by Koontz and O’Donnel such as planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling. Planning is the primary functions of management. It is the determination of courses of action to obtain desired goals. Organizing is place in proximity of physical, financial and human resources and developing productive relationship amongst them for achievement of    organizational goals. The managerial function of staffing comprises manning the organization structure through proper and effective selection, appraisal & development of personnel to fill the roles designed on the structure”. Staffing includes first the manpower planning, recruitment, selection & placement, training and development, remuneration, performance appraisal, promotions and transfer or may be demotion. To work efficiently for achievement of organizational purposes, directing actuates the organizational methods. In direction there are elements: supervision, motivation, leadership and communication. In controlling, it implies measurement of accomplishment against the standards and correction of deviation if any to    ensure achievement of organizational goals. Ensure everything occurs in conformities with the standards is the purpose of controlling. As stated by    Harold Koontz and Cyril O’Donell “it is the measurement and correction of performance activities of subordinates in order to make sure that the enterprise objectives and plans desired to acquire them as being executed’’. There are five important characteristics of controlling such as    controlling is a fundamental management function, essential function of every manager, controlling is a continuous activity, controlling is both the beginning and the end of the process of management and controlling is related to results. Controlling is the most important out of all these functions of management. All other functions of management are rendered meaningless if controlling is excluded. In my own understanding, we never know what is going to be the result of every decisions. Sometimes we have the instinct about what are going to happen but there are factors like Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental Factors which affect these things. Controlling is always affiliated by planning or either organizing, staffing or directing. For instance, there is an institution where they applied all of the five functions including they planned to increase 1 or 5 percent of their enrollees for the year 2018 so they need to ensure their resources had the potential to meet the needs and wants of the prospective clients. What happened is they failed to meet their expectations. Not meeting the expectations is not necessarily a    failure.In time we come around to the reality and adjust. An additional insight is the saying quoted by Peter Drucker, “we can’t manage what we can’t measure.” It means that we are not aware whether or not we are successful unless success is defined and tracked. With a clearly established metric for success, we can quantify progress and adjust our process to produce the desired outcome. Without clear objectives, we are stuck in a constant state of guessing. We are constantly working to define success and set tangible, measurable goals. Tangible success metrics mean that we either win or lose, there’s no middle ground. We either achieved our goal or failed. Because we assess progress on the basis of results and take corrective action after finding out the deviations, control is related to results. If the expectations are not going to meet or if you encounter problems, the best idea is to apply the navigational change. The navigational change refers to the redesigning of plan so it will begin from the start up to the end. This may be a good solution for any problem. It may cause an additional expenses and efforts but it is the best things to do.
