Answer 1

The main objective behind controlling is ensuring conformity of actual performance with set standards.

Explanation:

The main objective of controlling in management is to ensure that actual performance conforms to the planned or set standards. It involves:

• Measuring actual performance

• Comparing it with the standard

• Identifying deviations

• Taking corrective actions

While pointing out inefficiency, fixing responsibility, and maintaining discipline are also outcomes of controlling, they are not its primary objective.
