Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The comparing step in the control process determines the variation between actual performance and the standard. This helps in identifying if the actual performance is meeting the desired level or not. Option A talks about relative position in the industry but doesn't clarify on what basis. Option B talks about performance variances, but it doesn't specify the standard against which the variance is calculated. Option C talks about an external benchmark from a non-competitor, which is not relevant to the control process.
