Which of the following statement is not correct for the relationship between planning and controlling?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Option 1 -> States planning and controlling are separable, contradicting the fundamental management principle that these functions are interdependent and inseparable.

Option 2 -> Correctly describes that planning creates structured programs while controlling ensures actual performance matches planned objectives.

Option 3 -> Correctly identifies planning and controlling as inseparable twins, highlighting their interdependent relationship in the management cycle.

Option 4 -> Correctly states that fact-based planning establishes realistic standards, making performance measurement and control more effective.


Hence, Option 1 -> Planning and controlling are NOT separable but inseparable twins of management. They form a continuous cycle where planning sets objectives and standards, while controlling measures performance and provides feedback for future planning. They cannot function effectively in isolation from each other -> correct
