Strategic Control Processes in Business Management

Other subjects3.7 KB

The Relationship Between Planning and Control

Control is based on the existence of planning; without a plan, there would be nothing to control. The controller acts as a verification of what has been done, and the check makes sense only when there is something to confront or compare: that something is the PLAN.
