Management Function Controlling and Evaluation and How to Control?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Controlling involves ensuring that performance does not deviate from standards. https://www.udemy.com/management-for-the-new-managers Controlling consists of three steps, which include (1) establishing performance standards, (2) comparing actual performance against standards, and (3) taking corrective action when necessary.

In working with organizations over the years, we've observed a leadership pattern that sabotages change. It occurs when senior leaders, who have been thinking, exploring, and debating about a particular change for a while, finally announce plans for a new initiative. Forgetting that others in the organization haven't been a part of the discussions and are not as familiar with all of the reasons for the change, leaders are surprised by the amount of resistance the new change generates.

In our book Leading At A Higher Level, coauthored by the founding associates and consulting partners of our company, we cite a U.S. Department of Education project conducted by Gene Hall and his colleagues at the University of Texas that identifies six predictable and sequential concerns people have when they are asked to change. By taking the time to address these concerns, leaders can improve the odds of success for their next change initiative.

Are you considering a serious change effort in your organization? Address these concerns-in order-so you can get everyone on board and moving in the right direction.
Beat communication breakdown
When change is first announced, people will have information concerns. Often, leaders will want to explain why the organization is moving in a certain direction and why the change is a good idea. This is a mistake. People don't want to be told the change is good until they understand it. Instead, leaders should share information as plainly and as completely as possible. In the absence of clear, factual communication, people tend to create their own information about the change, and rumors become facts.

Leaders should prepare to answer questions such as: What is the change? Why is it needed? What's wrong with the way things are now? How much and how fast does the organization need to change?
Get personal
Once information concerns are satisfied, people will want to know how the change will affect them personally. The following questions, even though not always expressed openly, are common: What's in it for me to change? Will I win or lose? Will I look good? How will I find the time to implement this change? Will I have to learn new skills? Can I do it?

People with personal concerns want to know how the change will play out for them. They wonder if they have the skills and resources to implement the change. It's important to remember that as the organization changes people may think their existing personal and organizational commitments are being threatened. It's normal for people to focus on what they are going to lose before they consider what they might gain.

These personal concerns have to be surfaced and addressed. Otherwise, as Werner Erhard has often said, "What you resist, persists." If you don't permit people to deal with their feelings about what's happening, those feelings stay around. Have you ever said to yourself, "I'm glad I got that off my chest?" If so, you know the relief that comes from sharing your concerns openly. The good news is that when people share them openly, their concerns often dissipate.
Plan your action
If leaders address the first two concerns effectively, people will be ready to hear information on the details involved in implementing the change. At this stage they will be interested to hear how the thinking behind the change has been tested. They will also want to know where to go for technical assistance and solutions to problems that might arise.

Leaders should be prepared to answer questions such as: What do I do first, second, third? How do I manage all the details? What happens if it doesn't work as planned? Where do I go for help? How long will this take? Is what we are experiencing typical? How will the organizational structure and systems change?
Sell the change
After implementation questions are answered, people tend to raise impact concerns. For example: Is the effort worth it? Is the change making a difference? Are we making progress? Are things getting better?

People with impact concerns are interested in the change's relevance and payoff. The focus is on evaluation. The good news is that if leaders have done a good job up to this point, this is the stage where people will sell themselves on the benefits of the change based on the relative merits of the results to be achieved. Be prepared to share early wins and proof that the change is making a positive difference. If the change does not positively impact results-or people don't know how to measure success-it will be more difficult to keep the change initiative moving forward.
Collaborate smartly
With some evidence that the change is moving the organization in the right direction, momentum starts to build. Leaders can look forward to questions and ideas focused on coordination and cooperation with others. A solid nucleus of people in the company will want to get everyone on board because they are convinced the change is making a difference.

At this stage, leaders can look forward to questions such as: Who else should be involved? How can we work with others to get them involved in what we are doing? How do we spread the word?
Refine for success
Once a change effort is well on its way toward complete adoption, leaders can expect to hear others begin asking about how the change can be refined. For example: How can we improve on our original idea? How do we make the change even better?

Refinement questions are a good sign and show that the people in the organization are focused on continuous improvement. During the course of any organizational change, a number of learnings usually occur. Take advantage of new opportunities for organizational improvement that often come to the surface at this stage.
Give your next change initiative its best chance
Take time with your next change initiative. Do it right and you can drastically increase your chances of success. But rush through the early stages and, like so many others, you might find yourself derailed as many of these concerns surface later in the project, killing momentum when it is needed most.

You've probably heard this before, but it's worth repeating here: People who help to plan the battle rarely battle the plan. While dealing with people's concerns about change may seem like a lot of hand-holding, it's important for leaders to remember that they too had to process information and personal concerns before they were ready to discuss impact and implementation.

If leaders can diagnose people's stages of concern about a change and respond with the right information at the right time, they can dramatically improve everyone's trust and participation. This will allow people to refocus their energy on what needs to change and what they can do to help make the change successful.

DEFINITION of 'Social Responsibility'

Social responsibility is the idea that businesses should balance profit-making activities with activities that benefit society; it involves developing businesses with a positive relationship to the society in which they operate. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), emphasizes that the relationship to the society and environment in which businesses operate is "a critical factor in their ability to continue to operate effectively. It is also increasingly being used as a measure of their overall performance."

BREAKING DOWN 'Social Responsibility'

Social responsibility means that individuals and companies have a duty to act in the best interests of their environments and society as a whole. Social responsibility, as it applies to business, is known as corporate social responsibility (CSR). Many companies, such as those with "green" policies, have made social responsibility an integral part of their business models.

Additionally, some investors use a company's social responsibility, or lack thereof, as an investment criterion. As such, a dedication to social responsibility can actually turn into profits, as the idea inspires investors to invest and consumers to purchase goods and services from the company. Put simply, social responsibility helps companies develop a good reputation.

In general, social responsibility is more effective when a company takes it on voluntarily, as opposed to being required by the government to do so through regulation. Social responsibility boosts company morale, and this is especially true when a company is able to get buy-in among its employees and actively engage them in its social cause.

Social Responsibility in Practice

Social responsibility takes on different meanings within industries and companies. For example, Starbucks Corporation and Ben & Jerry's Homemade Holdings Inc. have blended social responsibility into the core of their operations. Both companies purchase Fair Trade Certified ingredients to manufacture their products and actively support sustainable farming in the regions where they source ingredients. Conversely, big-box retailer Target Corporation, also well known for its social responsibility programs, has donated more than $1 billion in grants to the communities in which the stores operate, including education grants, since 2010.

Social Responsibility Concerns

Not everyone believes that business should have a social conscience. Economist Milton Friedman stated the "social responsibilities of business are notable for their analytical looseness and lack of rigor." Friedman believed only individuals can have a sense of social responsibility. Businesses, by their very nature, cannot. Some experts believe that social responsibility defies the very point of being in business: profit above all else.

Diversity in the business world is much needed. There are many companies who are promoting diversity and hiring diverse people. Each person brings something different to the table.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
At Northcentral University, we have a unique opportunity to celebrate diversity in education through our faculty and student body, which is distributed around the world. As a University, we embrace the value of equity in education and aim to maintain varied, inclusive representation among our faculty, team members and students. We support the diverse nature of our community by creating an environment in which the members of our global community experience educational growth, success and feel connected by a common thread: NCU.

NCU DIVERSITY: VALUE, DEFINITION, AND DETAIL STATEMENT

Diversity is an important part of Northcentral University's model and mission. The University's mission is to provide an accessible opportunity in an online format to qualified applicants. This accessibility removes many barriers preventing diverse and historically underserved populations from accessing a regionally accredited graduate level education. The Bylaws of the University Board of Trustees specifically commit the University to diversity. To further demonstrate our commitment to diversity in our University and curriculum, the Board of Trustees endorses and adopts the WASC Equity and Inclusion Policy as a guiding principle in our pursuit of diversity.

NCU DIVERSITY VALUE

Northcentral University celebrates the diversity of thought, action, and cultural groups within our community and are committed to equity for all people. We act on our belief that the educational journey will be enhanced if it is diverse in nature by actively promoting respect and understanding for different cultures, social groups and experiences.
View Our Mission, Vision, & Values
NCU'S DIVERSITY DEFINITION

Northcentral University's definition of diversity encompasses multiple dimensions. We use the NCU Diversity Wheel to demonstrate the intersectionality of those dimensions. We believe diversity includes all aspects of one's identity including but not limited to internal dimensions such as gender, race, sexual orientation, ability, etc.; community dimensions like marital status, education, religion, language, etc.; life experience dimensions such as experiencing historical events, personal history of abuse or prosperity, various living or employment situations, etc.; and current NCU institutional dimensions such as roles (e.g., student, staff, faculty, governing board, administrators, and stakeholders), school or department association, organizational position, etc. We believe that all aspects make up ones diverse identity and enrich the university.

NCU'S DIVERSITY STATEMENT

Our Statement
We believe the definition of diversity is ever-changing. As such, diversity, equity, inclusion, and cultural competence represent an evolution of thought and experience, rather than a definable competency to master. We recognize that this definition is likely to change as we learn more about the various individuals that are represented amongst our community. Our current definition of diversity encompasses multiple dimensions and the intersectionality of those dimensions, acknowledging the internal, community, social, and institutional forces that shape each individual.

Our People
We are a pluralistic community and we take pride in the diversity of our members. We aim to have representation among our members (faculty, staff, students) in terms of socioeconomic status, gender, sex, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, religious beliefs, nation of origin, educational background, ability, etc. We respect that our community represents different values, backgrounds, perspectives and identities. We value collegiality and encourage people who represent different groups to come together to share ideas in order to enrich our community and programmatic offerings.

Our Environment
We are committed to equity in education and strive to create an environment in which all members of our community are retained, graduate, feel connected, and thrive. NCU views access as a significant equity issue and uses its technology platforms and institutional policies to remove barriers to quality education. Our one-to-one model promotes intensive engagement between individual faculty and students. We prioritize the individual and the relationship. We strive to facilitate an environment where differences are celebrated, subconscious biases are examined, and everyone has an opportunity to positively examine their own identity with humility and curiosity.

NCU'S DIVERSITY COMMITTEE

In support of NCU's commitment to overall diversification, we established a Diversity Committee to place greater attention on diversity-related initiatives. This committee meets on a monthly basis to discuss initiatives, share ideas and ensure a consistent emphasis is being placed on diversity and inclusion throughout the University as a whole. Initiatives include, but are not limited to fostering positive engagement within global and local communities, promoting policies and practices, enhancing program offerings in alignment with Northcentral's global vision and working to remove barriers to quality education.

Social responsibility is to protect and improve both welfare and society.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.provider_name

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Social responsibilityis an ethicalframework and suggests that an entity, be it an organizationor individual, has an obligation to act for the benefit of society at large. Social responsibility is a duty every individual has to perform so as to maintain a balance between the economy and the ecosystems. A trade-off may exist between economic development, in the material sense, and the welfare of the society and environment,though this has been challenged by many reports over the past decade.Social responsibility means sustaining the equilibrium between the two. It pertains not only to business organizations but also to everyone whose any action impacts the environment. This responsibility can be passive, by avoiding engaging in socially harmful acts, or active, by performing activities that directly advance social goals.

Businesses can use ethical decision making to secure their businesses by making decisions that allow for government agencies to minimize their involvement with the corporation.For instance if a company follows the United States Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) guidelines for emissions on dangerous pollutants and even goes an extra step to get involved in the community and address those concerns that the public might have; they would be less likely to have the EPA investigate them for environmental concerns."A significant element of current thinking about privacy, however, stresses "self-regulation" rather than market or government mechanisms for protecting personal information". According to some experts, most rules and regulations are formed due to public outcry, which threatens profit maximization and therefore the well-being of the shareholder, and that if there is not outcry there often will be limited regulation.

Some critics argue that corporate social responsibility (CSR) distracts from the fundamental economic role of businesses; others argue that it is nothing more than superficial window-dressing, or " greenwashing ";others argue that it is an attempt to pre-empt the role of governments as a watchdog over powerful corporations though there is no systematic evidence to support these criticisms. A significant number of studies have shown no negative influence on shareholder results from CSR but rather a slightly negative correlation with improved shareholder returns.

Student social responsibility

Student social responsibility is the responsibility of every student for their actions. It is morally binding, and suggests that each individual act in such a way that minimizes the adverse effect on those immediately around them.

Corporate social responsibility

Corporate social responsibility or CSR has been defined by Lord Holmeand Richard Wattsin the World Business Council for Sustainable Development 's publication "Making Good Business Sense" as "...the continuing commitment by business to behave ethically and contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as the local community and society at large." CSR is one of the newest management strategies where companies try to create a positive impact on society while doing business. Evidence suggests that CSR taken on voluntarily by companies will be much more effective than CSR mandated by governments.There is no clear-cut definition of what CSR comprises. Every company has different CSR objectives though the main motive is the same. All companies have a two-point agenda-to improve qualitatively (the management of people and processes) and quantitatively (the impact on society). The second is as important as the first and stake holders of every company are increasingly taking an interest in "the outer circle"-the activities of the company and how these are impacting the environment and society.The other motive behind this is that the companies should not be focused only on maximization of profits.

While many corporations include social responsibility in their operations, it is still important for those procuring the goods and services to ensure the products are socially sustainable. Verification tools are available from a multitude of entities internationally,such as the Underwriters Laboratoriesenvironmental standards, BIFMA, BioPreferred, and Green Seal. These resources help corporations and their consumers identify potential risks associated with a product's lifecycle and enable end users to confirm the corporation's practices adhere to social responsibility ideals.

Social Responsibility of Scientists and Engineers

One common view is that scientists and engineers are morally responsible for the negative consequences which result from the various applications of their knowledge and inventions.After all, if scientists and engineers take personal pride in the many positive achievements of science and technology, why should they be allowed to escape responsibility for the negative consequences related to the use or abuse of scientific knowledge and technological innovations? Furthermore, scientists and engineers have a collective responsibility for the choice and conduct of their work. Committees of scientists and engineers are often involved in the planning of governmental and corporate research programs, including those devoted to the development of military technologies and weaponry.Many professional societies and national organizations, such as the National Academy of Scienceand the National Academy of Engineeringin the United States, have ethical guidelines (see Engineering ethicsand Research ethics for the conduct of scientific research and engineering).Clearly, there is recognition that scientists and engineers, both individually and collectively, have a special and much greater responsibility than average citizens with respect to the generation and use of scientific knowledge.

In Module 1 we learned all about the four basic management functions wjich are: planning, organizing, influencing, and controlling. The one that benefitted me the most was the planning function. It has really helped me make better plans for school and my personal life. It tought me that you have to have a plan before approaching a situation.
