The document discusses strategic evaluation and control in businesses. Strategic evaluation allows companies to assess their health, productivity, and future plans beyond short-term factors. It is performed by various stakeholders to test strategy effectiveness, set objectives, and determine if the organization is moving in the right direction. Strategic control monitors strategies adopted by the organization to ensure alignment with internal and external environments. It involves determining what to control, setting standards, measuring performance, comparing to standards, identifying deviations, and taking corrective action.
3. Strategic evaluation is a way for businesses to evaluate the health
and productivity of their company and their future endeavours.
It attempt to see past the obvious factors that influence short-term
plans, and seek a more-dynamic study of the trends that will dictate the
future success or failure of the company.

7. Strategic control can be defined as process of monitoring
as to whether to various strategies adopted by the
organization are helping its internal environment to be
matched with the external environment.
9. Premise control is designed to check systematically and
continuous whether or not the premises set during the planning
and implementation process are still valid.
Implementation control is designed to assess whether the
overall strategy result associated with incremental steps and
actions that implement overall strategy.
Strategic surveillance It is designed to monitor a broad range
of events inside and outside the company to threaten the course
of firm's strategy.
Special alert control is the need to thoroughly and often rapidly
reconsider the firm's basic strategy based on a sudden
unexpected event.
10. 1. Determine what to control. What are the objectives the organization
hopes to accomplish?
2. Set control standards. What are the targets and tolerances?
3. Measure performance. What are the actual standards?
4. Compare the performance the performance to the standards. How
well does the actual match the plan?
5. Determine the reasons for the deviations. Are the deviations due to
internal shortcomings or due to external changes beyond the control of
the organization?
6. Take corrective action. Are corrections needed in internal activities to
correct organizational shortcomings, or are changes needed in
objectives due to external events?
11. Activity Based Costing (ABC)
Allocating indirect and fixed costs to individual product
based on the value added activities going into that
product.
It is a costing methodology that identifies activities in
an organization and assigns the cost of each activity
with resources to all products and services according to
the actual consumption by each. This model assigns
more indirect costs (overhead) into direct
costs compared to conventional costing.
12. Implementation
Activity based costing must be implemented in the following ways:
Identify and assess ABC needs
Training requirements - Basic training for all employees
Define the project scope - Evaluate mission and objectives for the project.
Identify activities and drivers - Determine what drives what activity.
Create a cost and operational flow diagram How resources and activities are
related to products and services.
Collect data Collecting data where the diagram shows operational
relationship.
Build a software model, validate and reconcile.
Interpret results and prepare management reports.
Integrate data collection and reporting.
13. Tracing Costs
Transition to automated Activity-based costing accounting
Public sector usage
14. Enterprise risk
management (ERM) is the
process of planning,
organizing, leading, and
controlling the activities of
an organization in order to
minimize the effects of
risk on an organization's
capital and earnings.
15. Enterprise risk
management expands the
process to include not just
risks associated with
accidental losses, but also
financial, strategic,
operational, and other
risks.
16. Companies believing that risks are monitored in other
ways besides through ERM.
Too many other pressing needs.
