ATrue

BFalse

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Managerial control decisions are those that involve measuring and correcting the performance of activities of subordinates to ensure that the enterprise objectives and plans are being accomplished. Managerial control decisions fall between operational and strategic planning because they are concerned with both executing the strategy and tracking its progress. Operational control decisions are those that focus on the efficiency and effectiveness of specific processes, tasks, and functions. Strategic control decisions are those that evaluate the alignment of the strategy with the external and internal environment, and make adjustments if necessary.Reference:Managerial Control: Definition, Features, Scope, and Process,Types and Levels of Control -- Principles of Management,The Control Function of Management - MIT Sloan Management Review

False, managerial control decisions are more like the awkward teenager of the planning world - not quite operational, not quite strategic.

I thought this was a trick question. Managerial control decisions are like the middle child of the planning family - often overlooked but still important.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about operational decisions being more tactical.

I'm not totally sure about this. I'll need to weigh the differences between the planning levels to determine if the statement is true or false.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. Managerial control decisions are more focused on the medium-term than operational planning, but less broad than strategic planning. I think the answer is B) False.
