"Planning is looking ahead & control is looking
back."Comment.

Answer Posted / siddhartha mukherjee

Planning is Looking Ahead is true because it contributes
heavily to success and gives us some control over the
future. By, planning we set aside our tasks and deadlines so
we can enlarge our mental focus and seeing the bigger
picture. By, planning we can set our Personal or
organizational goals and for this defiantly we have to look
ahead.
But, Planning is not ending with such strategies or
guidelines. It has relation with Implementation and
controls. Because plans are not always proceed as conceived.
The control process measures progress towards goal
attainment and indicate corrective action if too much
deviation is detected.

Controlling investigates whether planning was successful.

Controlling referred to as terminal management function,
takes place after the other functions have been completed.
And for this process we have to look back and have to
analyze the performance of our planning, organizing and
leading. And therefore we have to look back also.

So, yes we can say Control is looking back for
Investigation, Analysis, and Understandings and for checking
our effectiveness and efficiency.
