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.
