* Difficulty in setting quantitative standards: Control system loses some of its effectiveness when standards cannot be defined in quantitative terms. Employee morale, job satisfaction and human behavior are such areas where this problem might arise.
* 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: Controlling is costly process 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.
