Read the following passage and answer the question.

XYZ Ltd. is a large company engaged in assembly of room-heaters. Recently the company had conducted the various studies and concluded that on an average a worker can assemble 25 room heaters in a day. The target volume of the company in a day is assembling of 2,500 units of room-heaters. However, the assembly of room heaters per day is 2,000 units only.

Which of the following is a limitation of controlling function?

All of these

The correct answer is option 4- All of these.

All of these are limitation of controlling function of management.

Little control on external factors: Generally an enterprise cannot control external factors such as government policies, technological changes, competition etc.

Resistance from employees: Control is often resisted by employees. They see it as a restriction on their freedom. For instance, employees might object when they are kept under a strict watch with the help of Closed Circuit Televisions (CCTVs).

Costly affair: Control is a costly affair as it involves a lot of expenditure, time and effort. A small enterprise cannot afford to install an expensive control system. It cannot justify the expenses involved. Managers must ensure that the costs of installing and operating a control system should not exceed the benefits derived from it.
