Relationship between
Planning and controlling
Planning and controlling functions always co-exist
or have to exist together as one function depends
on the other.
The controlling function compares actual
performance with the planned performance and if
there is no planned performance then controlling
manager will not be able to know whether the
actual performance is O.K. or not.
36
The base for comparison or the yardstick
to check is given by planning to controlling
function.
On the other hand, the planning function is
also dependent on controlling function as
plans are not made only on papers but
these have to be followed and
implemented in the organization.
