PLANNING
Planning is the process of setting goals,
defining actions to achieve those goals, and
organizing the resources and efforts needed to
carry out those actions. It involves anticipating
future needs and circumstances, making
decisions about the best course of action, and
preparing for potential challenges or
opportunities.

Planning provides direction: Planning
provides direction and a sense of purpose
for the organisation. Without plans and
goals, organisations merely react to daily
occurrences without considering what will
happen in the long-run.

coordinate organisational work and
eliminate unproductive effort. Guess work
is banished. Facilities are employed to the
best advantage.

Planning helps an organisation to cope
with an uncertain future. It helps
management to anticipate the future and
prepare for the risks by making necessary
provisions to meet the unexpected turn of
events.

Decision-making involves searching of
various alternative courses of action,
evaluating them and selecting the best
one.

creativity: Planning involves looking
ahead and preparing for the future. The
process of looking ahead, forces an
organisation to be alert of opportunities
and threats in the environment.
IMPORTANCE
OF PLANNING
Planning improves morale: Once
members know what is expected of them,
they can contribute better. When goals
are properly defined, work assignments
can be fixed and everyone can begin to
contribute to the achievement of these
goals.
IMPORTANCE
OF PLANNING
Planning facilities control: Planning and
controlling functions are said to be
‘Siamese twins’ (inseparable twins).
There is nothing to control without
planning and without proper control,
planning proves to be a wasteful and an
unproductive exercise.
CHARACTERISTIC

CHARACTERISTIC
S OF PLANNING
Planning is goal-oriented: All plans arise from
objectives. Objectives provide the basic
guidelines for planning activities. Planning has
no meaning unless it contributes in some
positive manner to the achievement of
predetermined goals.
CHARACTERISTIC
S OF PLANNING
Planning is a primary function: Planning is the
foundation of management. It is a parent
exercise in management process. It is a
preface to business activities.
Planning is all-pervasive: Planning is a function
of all managers. It is needed and practiced at
all managerial levels. Planning is inherent in
everything a manager does.
CHARACTERISTIC
S OF PLANNING
Planning is a mental exercise: Planning is a
mental process involving imagination, foresight
and sound judgment. Planning compels
managers to abandon guesswork and wishful
thinking. It makes them think in a logical and
systematic manner.
CHARACTERISTIC
S OF PLANNING
Planning is a continuous process: Planning is
continuous. It is a never-ending activity. It is an
ongoing process of adjustment to change.
There is always need for a new plan to be
drawn on the basis of new demands and
changes in the circumstances.
CHARACTERISTIC
S OF PLANNING
Planning involves choice: Planning essentially
involves choice among various alternative
courses of action. If there is one way of doing
something, there is no need for planning. The
need for planning arises only when alternatives
are available.
CHARACTERISTIC
S OF PLANNING
Planning is forward looking: Planning means
looking ahead and preparing for the future. It
means peeping into the future, analyzing it and
preparing for it. Managers plan today with a
view to flourish tomorrow. Without planning,
business becomes random in nature and
decisions would become meaningless, ad hoc
choices.
CHARACTERISTIC
S OF PLANNING
Planning is flexible: Planning is based on a
forecast of future events. Since future is
uncertain, plans should be reasonably flexible.
When market conditions change, planners
have to make necessary changes in the
existing plans.
CHARACTERISTIC
S OF PLANNING
Planning is an integrated process: Plans are
structured in a logical way wherein every
lower-level plan serves as a means to
accomplish higher level plans. They are highly
interdependent and mutually supportive.
CHARACTERISTIC
S OF PLANNING
Planning includes efficiency and effectiveness
dimensions: Plans aim at deploying resources
economically and efficiently. They also try to
accomplish what has been actually targeted.
The effectiveness of plans is usually dependent
on how much it can contribute to the
predetermined objectives.
