Which of the following is NOT an advantage of critical point control and management by exception?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → It creates an atmosphere of order and discipline in the organisation.
Option (1) It identifies critical problems which need timely action to keep the organisation in right track. — An advantage. Watching the critical points brings critical problems to light early, so they get timely action.
Option (2) It leaves routine problems to the subordinates and so facilitates delegation of authority. — An advantage. Managers deal only with large deviations, so routine problems stay with subordinates. This helps delegation and raises their morale.
Option (3) It saves the time and efforts of managers as they deal with only significant deviations. — An advantage. Managers attend only to significant deviations, so they save time and effort.
Option (4) It creates an atmosphere of order and discipline in the organisation. — Not an advantage. This is an importance of controlling as a whole. A close check on employees’ activities minimises dishonest behaviour and brings order and discipline.
