Types of Control Measures in an Organization

2092 Words5 Pages

Executive Summary
In the modern world, managers choose among three types of control measures to improve the work flow and objective performance of the organization. The report compares and contrasts stand point of the author and other theorists on each of the three types of managerial control methods. Research findings provide evidence for consensus among theorists on the notion that feedforward control provides an active approach for balancing system dynamics. Feedforward control is applicable in the medical industry. Similarly, research results show that theorists agree on the usefulness of concurrent control methods as a reactive and theoretical approach to reduce uncertainty while improving objective performance. Concurrent control is applied to manage database systems. Lastly, the report finds that managers use feedback control to improve operations and work flow performance in the post action period and it enables managers to reduce uncertainty. Additionally, research finds that feedback control is used to stabilize problems.
