Which of the following are the importance of controlling?

(A) It helps in accomplishing organizational goals.

(B) It improves past planning by providing information derived from present experience.

(C) It helps in improving employee motivation.

(D) It helps in judging the accuracy of standards.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option 1 -> Includes (A), (C), and (D) which correctly identifies the key importance of controlling - accomplishing goals, improving motivation, and judging standards accuracy.

Option 2 -> Includes (B) which incorrectly states controlling improves "past planning" - past planning cannot be changed, only future planning can be improved.

Option 3 -> Includes all statements including (B), which is incorrect as controlling provides feedback for future planning improvements, not past planning.

Option 4 -> Excludes (A) which is a fundamental importance of controlling - accomplishing organizational goals through monitoring and corrective action.

Hence, Option 1: (A), (C) and (D) only -> Controlling helps accomplish organizational goals by ensuring activities align with plans, improves employee motivation through performance feedback and recognition, and helps judge whether set standards are accurate and realistic. Statement (B) is excluded because controlling improves future planning (not past planning) by providing feedback from current experiences. -> correct
