Explanation:

Limitation of controlling - 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.

Limitation of controlling - little control on external factors: Generally, an enterprise cannot control external factors such as government policies, technological changes competition etc.

Limitation of controlling - 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).

Limitation of controlling - costly affairs: 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.
