information to assess the performance of different organizational resources,
like humans, physicists, financiers, and also the organization as a whole, to
the light of the organizational strategies pursued.

Control is a fundamental administrative function. It serves to regulate the


organizational activities, and compare actual performance with the standards and
expected organizational objectives.

Control techniques provide the type and amount of information necessary for
measure and monitor performance. Information from various controls must
adapt to a level of administration, department, unit or operation
specific.

To ensure complete and coherent information, companies usually


use standardized reports, such as financial, status, and...
projects. However, each area within an organization uses its own
specific control techniques.

for a long period of time and are still in use.
Personal observation

This is the most traditional control technique. It allows a manager to collect


first-hand information about employee performance.

It also creates psychological pressure on employees to


perform better and thus manage to achieve their objectives well, as they are

percentages, indicators, correlations, etc. in different aspects. They present
information about the organization's performance in various areas.

This type of information is useful when presented in different forms, such as


charts, graphs, tables, etc. It allows managers to read them more easily and
facilitates performance comparisons with established standards and with the
from previous periods.

Break-even analysis

It is used to study the relationship between costs, volume, and profits. It determines
the general framework of probable gains and losses for different levels of
activity when analyzing the general position.

The sales volume at which there are neither gains nor losses is known as
break-even point. This can be calculated with the help of the following formula:

Break-even point = Fixed costs / (Selling price per unit - Variable costs)
per unit).

Through this analysis, a company can control its variable cost and
It can also determine the level of activity at which you can obtain your
profit objective.

Budget Control

operations that must be carried out in an organization.

These budgets act as standards to compare them with the results.

organization.

expected result, prepared for a defined period of future time, with the
in order to achieve a specific objective. It is also a statement that reflects the
policy for that particular period.

departments. For example, the purchasing budget cannot be prepared without
to know the amount of materials required. That information comes from the
production budget. The latter is based on the budget of
