Read the following statements and mark the correct answer. Assertion: Planning and controlling are separable twins of management. |
Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and R is the correct explanation of A. Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and but R is not the correct explanation of A. Assertion (A) is true but Reasoning (R) is not correct. Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct. |
Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct. |
The correct answer is option 4- Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct. Assertion: Planning and controlling are separable twins of management. THIS IS NOT TRUE as Planning and controlling are inseparable twins of management. Reasoning: Plans are the basis of control and without control the best laid plans may go astray. THIS IS TRUE.
Planning and controlling are inseparable twins of management. A system of control presupposes the existence of certain standards. These standards of performance which serve as the basis of controlling are provided by planning. Once a plan becomes operational, controlling is necessary to monitor the progress, measure it, discover deviations and initiate corrective measures to ensure that events conform to plans. Thus, planning without controlling is meaningless. Similarly, controlling is blind without planning. If the standards are not set in advance, managers have nothing to control. When there is no plan, there is no basis of controlling. |
