How Effective Are Your Control Systems?

 

As a manager, you will have to control work processes and monitor performance. There are three types of controls that occur in organizations:

  • Feedforward control: prevents future problems.
  • Concurrent control: collects performance in real time.
  • Feedback control: collects performance information after a task or project is completed.

For this discussion:

  • Describe one control system used by your current organization or a previous employer.
  • Identify the organization’s control system type.
    • Should the organization use a different type of control system? Why or why not?

Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts.
