A detector or sensor is a device that measure what is actually happening in the process being controlled.

An assessor is a device that determines the significance of what is actually happening by comparing it with some standards or expectations of what should happen.

An effector (feedback) is a device that alters behavior if the assessor indicates the need to do so.

A communications network consist of devices that transmit information between the detector and the assessor and between the assessor and the effector.

Boundaries of Management Control Strategy formulation is the process of

deciding on the goals of the organization and the strategies for attaining these goals.

Task control is the process of ensuring that specified tasks are carried out effectively and efficiently.
