Controlling is important for the following reasons (A) Judging Accuracy of Standards (B) Ensuring creativity in the organisation (C) Facilitating Coordination in Action (D) Making Efficient Use of Resources Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 4
Option 1 -> (A), (B) and (D) only - Includes ensuring creativity, which is not a primary function of controlling as it focuses on standardization and compliance rather than fostering creativity. Option 2 -> (A), (B) and (C) only - Includes ensuring creativity which is not a core reason for the importance of controlling, and excludes efficient use of resources which is a key purpose. Option 3 -> (A), (B), (C) and (D) - Includes all options including ensuring creativity, which is not typically a reason why controlling is important in management. Option 4 -> (A), (C) and (D) only - Correctly identifies the three main reasons: judging accuracy of standards, facilitating coordination, and making efficient use of resources, while excluding creativity which is not a primary controlling function. Hence, Option 4: (A), (C) and (D) only -> Controlling is important for judging accuracy of standards (comparing performance with benchmarks), facilitating coordination in action (aligning all activities toward goals), and making efficient use of resources (identifying wastage and optimizing resource allocation). Ensuring creativity is not a primary reason for controlling as control systems focus on standardization, monitoring, and correcting deviations rather than fostering creativity -> correct
