Management Control Process

Start with the control process

The flashcard deck Controlling introduces the definition and purpose of controlling, steps in the control process, standards and types of control. It is a useful place to begin if you want to become familiar with the terms used across the page. The deck also covers feedforward, concurrent and feedback control.

Next, look at the mind map on controlling and the control process. Its branches include purpose, importance, measuring actual performance and comparing actual performance. Use the map to see how those ideas sit alongside one another, then return to the flashcards to review the terms.

Build on the basics

The mind map on the foundations of control covers the nature and importance of control. Another mind map, on the control process and standards, includes comparison to standards, corrective action, feedback, concurrent control and feedforward control. Together, they offer ways to follow the process and review types of control.

For another view, the flashcards on the meaning and value of control include measuring actual performance and approaches to measurement. A separate deck called Controlling covers characteristics, duties, functions and core elements of controlling. Its content can help you compare how the resources organize the topic.

Use the resources together

This topic is part of the Management Control and Performance Measurement unit in Business administration and management (incl. project management). The resources here connect control with performance measurement through ideas such as measuring actual performance and comparing it with standards.

There are no quizzes listed on this page. Instead, use a mind map to organize the ideas, then work through a flashcard deck to recall definitions and steps. Teachers can also use the maps and decks as material for discussing the process with students. Pick a resource and explore the approach that suits your study.
