Answers

1. Insurance value of control
Control eliminates the risk of non-conformity of actual performance with the main goals of the organization. Control is the function, which regulates the operation to ensure the attainment of the set objectives. Regular measurement of work in progress with proper adjustments in operations puts the performance on the right track and helps in the attainment of goals.

2. Basis for future action
Control provides the information and facts to the management for planning and organizing when the work is completed and the result is evaluated. In fact, evaluation of results helps the management to replan for non-repetitive operations and rewarding, punishing and disciplining the workers. It would be better to say that long term planning for future is not possible unless and until control information is available in time to the managers for the operations of the work.

3. Facility of coordination
Control plays a very important role in coordinating the business activities and workers. It binds all the workers and other activities and motivates them to move towards the common objectives through 'coordination. Control will play the role of a middleman between the workers and management to provide the required information in time to the workers. Further, if proper co-ordination through control exists in the organization, then wastage of time, efforts and money can easily be eliminated.

4. Simplifies supervision
The systematic control helps in finding out the deviation existing~ in the organization which simplifies the task of the supervisor in managing his sub-ordinates. So through control it becomes easy for the supervisor to supervise and guide the workers to follow the right track and fulfill the required goals.

5. Extension of decentralization
Control system helps the top management to extend the frontiers of decentralization without the loss of control. When proper procedures policies, methods, targets etc., are clearly communicated to the sub- ordinates, they develop self-confidence and need not always refer to their supervisors with the problems. Thus senior management people will not waste their time for such problems and would rather utilize their time and energy for further planning and organizational work.
