Summary/Abstract: Aware that business processes are complicated, company managers strive to find solutions that will enable them to make decisions that restrict business risk. The many years of experience foreign companies bring as well as, more and more often, that of domestic companies show that controlling can be one such instrument. In spite of the increasing importance of controlling in the economic sciences and in business practice, there are still discrepancies in the understanding of this notion. Thus, there is no uniform definition for controlling to be found in the world literature, and numerous leading managers have struggled to define it. The article presents the origin and stages of development of controlling in the world. The author also presents his own approach to defining it.
