Think about your current or former job. If the organization where you were working were to go off track strategically, was there any readily available control mechanism to alert management of the deviation? Make sure to complete the Chapter 15 Reading, prior to beginning your participation in the Unit 5 Discussion.
In the organization where I am working, there is a proper control mechanism to alert management, and there are also key elements of organizational control. However, if the company faces any issues regarding the off-track strategically; then there could be a focus on the proper internal systems and processes so that the company can effectively focus on the planning-organizing-leading-controlling. However, it is analyzed that the company needs to focus on the organizational control through the organization influences so that there could be better performance of the company.
As the control mechanism in my company, there is an effective focus on financial management as well as the unapproved withdrawals and payments. There are also systems related to the susceptibility to theft; if ghost employees are known, they can be given a resignation letter. There is a proper system in my company; the annual budgeting process is concerned with the company as well, so that there could be a focus on the action that is taken by the company. There are organizational controls and financial focus on the company, for the effective management system control mechanism is concerned with the companies for the betterment.
The companies should not go off track strategically because, in this way, employees can be dissatisfied and can leave the company. However, it is concerned that companies need to respond towards the planning effectively and there should be organized; so that the process can be managed and go smoother, there is a need for a proper check. The company needs to focus on the aspects related to the leading controlling so that effective management can be concerned. In my company strategies are effectively concerned through effective management. Moreover, as discussed in the chapter, there is a need to effectively deal with the management and financial aspects so that there could not be issues related to the management in the company (University of Minnesota, 2010).
