Discuss GAQM CITM-001 Exam Topic 8 Question 22

The requirements for managerial control decisions fall between Operational and Strategic planning.

ATrue

BFalse

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
