Answer:
Limitations of Controlling:
1. Difficulty in setting quantitative standards:
Control system loses its effectiveness when standard of performance cannot be defined in quantitative terms and it is very difficult to set quantitative standard for human behaviour, efficiency level, job satisfaction, employee’s morale, etc. In such cases judgment depends upon the discretion of manager.
2. No control on external factors:
An enterprise cannot control the external factors such as government policy, technological changes, change in fashion, change in competitor’s policy, etc.
3. Resistance from employees:
Employees often resist control and as a result effectiveness of control reduces. Employees feel control reduces or curtails their freedom. Employees may resist and go against the use of cameras, to observe them minutely.
4. Costly affair:
Control is an expensive process it involves lot of time and effort as sufficient attention has to be paid to observe the performance of the employees. To install an expensive control system organisations have to spend large amount. Management must compare the benefits of controlling system with the cost involved in installing them. The benefits must be more than the cost involved then only controlling will be effective otherwise it will lead to inefficiency
