Be specific by providing the type of business (organization) [such as for-profit, or non-profit; small-size, medium-sized, multinational, etc.] and industry [such as trucking industry, retail chain, manufacturing, consumer product manufacturing, energy, etc.] in your initial response as an important background information.

1. Share with the class "How does your current employer apply (or how has one of your past employers applied) each of these three categories of control in the workplace in alignment with its strategic management?" Be specific with the type of industry.

2. What do you think about their respective effectiveness and intended results in the strategic management of your focal company or organization?

3. What would you recommend doing otherwise to promote a healthier or more efficient strategic alignment between controls and their intended goals?
