Problem 1: Describe the relationship between supervisory planning and supervisory control.
Problem 2: In what ways are planning and control independent processes, and in what ways do they go hand-in-hand?
Problem 3: How does an effective supervisor apply planning and control to achieve success and high productivity for his or her team? Describe a specific scenario from your own work experience.
Remember: control is basically an assessment of whether or not the planning is working, i.e., achieving strategic organizational and/or marketing goals. Also, the results of the control assessment might lead to changes or revisions to the short-term or long-term planning. Who should be involved in the planning and control?
