share - Determine whether planned goals
- Commit to environmental protection are met
and social programs - Decide changes needed to get back
- Key objective = add value to the on track
business - May use an informal or formal
system of evaluations

Example:
- “we want to increase the turnover by 5%” => planning
=> increase marketing budget by 10.000$ => directing
- “after 6 months you evaluate & you see that the turnover only increased by 1% => controlling
=> you might need to adapt your directing function (f.e. double the marketing budget)

examen (C) QUESTION:
=> wrm functies? -> om beslissingen te nemen!! anders is het nutteloos
