Dialogue 5.
| A: | I know that controlling is the fourth function of management and it is measuring and correcting individual and organisational performance to ensure that events confirm plans. |
| B: | Certainly. It involves measuring performance against goals and plans, showing where deviations from standards exist and helping to correct them. |
| A: | I know you are very busy, Mr. White. Thank you for conversation and help. I have got the answers to all my questions. Good bye. |
| B: | Good bye. Good luck. |
| A: | Hallo! Haven't seen you for a long time. How are you? |
| B: | ……………………………………………........................................................ |
| A: | They say, you are a student of Lviv Polytechnic National University. What specialty have you chosen? |
| B: | ……………………………………………........................................................ |
| A: | Is knowledge of management useful in our everyday life? |
| B: | ……………………………………………........................................................ |
| A: | Could you explain the functions of management with examples from your life? |
| B: | ……………………………………………........................................................ |
| A: | It's very interesting. I have never thought about this. It means that knowledge of management can help us to improve our lives. Thank you very much for useful information! I will try to use it in my everyday life. |
| B: | ……………………………………………........................................................ |
| A: | Hallo. How are things going on? Have you written your composition in English? |
| B: | ……………………………………………........................................................ |
| A: | You know, my topic is “Management and my professional education”. To tell the truth, I have prepared the plan of my composition, but I am not sure if that is enough. |
| B: | ……………………………………………........................................................ |
| A: | So, I decided to analyze my professional education according to the functions of management. |
| B: | ……………………………………………........................................................ |
| A: | First of all – planning. I mean I can use strategic planning for setting my goals of professional education and tactical planning for defining my objectives. |
| B: | ……………………………………………........................................................ |
| A: | It seems to me I can organise my working days and weekends effectively and this will help me to get better results. |
| B: | ……………………………………………........................................................ |
| A: | The problem is with controlling and directing. I understand that controlling is carried out by teachers and the system of assessment. But it is not easy for me to be self-controlled and self-directed. And what about you? Do you always do the things you should do? |
| B: | ……………………………………………........................................................ |
| A: | And this is the problem. I think every person should start with self-training and defining his or her desires. It is useful to keep a diary and every day write down the things, which you have done in order to achieve your goal. |
| B: | ……………………………………………........................................................ |
| A: | OK. Thank you for conversation. It's high time to write the composition. See you. |
| B: | ……………………………………………........................................................ |
