action: Once objectives are set,
assumptions are made. Then the
next step would be to act upon
them.

27. ā¢ Set Performance Standards: You need a goal
for your business, but you also need
guidance for your team to keep them
working towards that goal. Without such
standards, itās possible that theyāll move
away from the plan, whether intentionally
or not.
ā¢ Measure Performance: Setting a standard
makes it possible to measure
performance using a control function.
Through this measurement of performance,
you can quickly catch and correct any
deviation from the plan before it goes off-
track and runs production into the ground.
28
Controlling Process
28. ā¢ Compare Actual Performance Against
Performance Standards: Once you have a
baseline for how your teams are performing
when manufacturing, packaging, delivering,
etc., you can compare the actual to the
planned performance and determine the
extent of the deviation.
ā¢ Analyze Deviations: This brings us to the next
step: where you analyze data using the
acceptable limits. If standards werenāt met,
the manager must then figure out whether
more control is requiredāor if maybe, the
standard itself should be changed.
29
Controlling Process
29. ā¢ Take Corrective Actions: Once you have
analyzed the deviation and determined
its cause, the manager will have to set
up a plan in which corrective measures,
critical point control and other means
are used to resolve the issue. This is to
reduce the deviation and ensure the
standard is met. This might involve
changes to processes and/or behaviors.

international standard, ISO 26000, to help organizations assess and address their
social responsibilities. ISO 26000-2010: Guidance on Social Responsibility defines
social responsibility as:
ā¢ The responsibility of an organization for the impacts of its decisions and activities on
society and the environment, through transparent and ethical behavior that:
ā¢ Contributes to sustainable development, including health and the welfare of society
ā¢ Takes into account the expectations of stakeholders
ā¢ Is in compliance with applicable laws and consistent with international norms of
behavior
ā¢ Is integrated throughout the organization and practiced in its relationships
40
WHAT IS SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY?
40. ISO 26000-2010: Guidance on Social
Responsibility identifies seven core
social responsibility subjects:
ā¢ Organizational governance
ā¢ Human rights
ā¢ Labor practices
ā¢ Environment
ā¢ Fair operating practices
ā¢ Consumer issues
ā¢ Community involvement and
development
41
CORE SUBJECTS AND KEY PRINCIPLES OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
In addition to the core subjects, ISO
26000 also defines seven key principles
of socially responsible behavior:
ā¢ Accountability
ā¢ Transparency
ā¢ Ethical behavior
ā¢ Respect for stakeholder interests
ā¢ Respect for the rule of law
ā¢ Respect for international norms of
behavior
ā¢ Respect for human rights
42. A corporation has to meet its economic
responsibilities in terms of reasonable return to
investors, fair compensation to employees, goods
at fair prices to customers, etc. Thus, meeting
economic responsibility is the first-layer of
responsibility and also the basis for the
subsequent responsibilities. The fact remains that
meeting economic responsibility is must for all
corporations to survive in the time.
43
ECONOMIC DIMENSION
43. The legal responsibility of business corporations
demands that businesses abide by the law of
land and play by the rule of the game. Laws are
the codification of doās and donāts doās in the
society.
Abiding by laws is the prerequisite for any
corporation to be socially responsible.
44
LEGAL DIMENSION
44. These responsibilities refer to obligations
which are right, just, and fair to be met by
corporations. Just abiding by law, procedure,
and rule and regulations does not make
business conduct always as ethical or good.
The conduct of corporations that go beyond
law and contribute to social well being is
called ethical.
45
ETHICAL DIMENSION
45. Making donations to charitable institutions,
building of recreational facilities for employees
and their families, support for educational
institutions, supporting art and support activities,
etc. are the examples of philanthropic
responsibilities discharged by the corporations. It
is important to note that the philanthropic
activities are desires of corporations, not
expected by the society.
