Question
Explain the relation between planning and controlling.
✓
Answer
Planning and controlling are two sides of the same coin:
Planning and controlling are two very important and interdependent functions of the management process. The success of planning depends on Controlling.
The function of controlling identifies deviations, takes necessary corrective action and hence keeps the business activities on the decided direction.
Looking from other perspective, the role of controlling comes only when something is planned. So, if there is no planning, there is no controlling.
Thus, planning and controlling are two sides of the same coin.
