Once You've made plans , how do you stay in control to make sure you're headed in the right direction ?

Kindly assist me to make sense of the following case study questions (interesting case study attached)

Q1. Which of the fundamentals of planning did GE execute ineffectively? Explain your rationale.

Q2. Which of the three types of goals were ineffectively managed by GE? Explain

Q3. State two SMART goals for GE based on the case. Given the political issues discussed in the case, how might GE ensure that these goals are attainable? Discuss.

Q4. Using Figure 5.5 "The Planning /Control Cycle", describe what GE could have done to improve the process of transporting the evaporator. Provide specific recommendations.

Q5. What did you learn about planning based on this case? Explain.

Thanks!

Once You've made plans , how do you stay in control to make sure you're headed inthe right direction ? Actually , there is a continuous feedback loop known as the plan -ning / control cycle . ( The "organizing" and "leading" steps within the Planning -Organizing - Leading _ Controlling sequence are implied here . ! The planning/ controlcycle has two planning steps (7 and 2) and two control steps (3 and 4 ) , as follows :"(1) Make the plan . (2) Carry out the plan . (3) Control the direction by comparing resultswith the plan . 14 ) Control the direction by taking corrective action in two ways _ namely(a) by correcting deviations in the plan being carried out or It ) by improving futureplans .
