 means determining the organization's goals and defining
the means for achieving them
 Planning increases the possibility of survival by actively
anticipating and managing the risks that may occur in the
future.
 In short, planning is preparing for tomorrow, today.
 Not only does planning provide direction and a unity of
purpose for organizations, it also answers six basic
questions in regard to any activity:
a. What needs to be accomplished?
b. When is the deadline?
c. Where will this be done?
c. Who will be responsible for it?
d. How will it get done?
e. How much time, energy, and resources are required to
accomplish this goal?
OF

1. Gives an organization a sense of


direction. Without plans and
goals, organizations merely react
to daily occurrences without
considering what will happen in
the long run.
2. Focuses attention on objectives
and results. Plans keep the people
who carry them out focused on the
anticipated results. In addition,
keeping sight of the goal also
motivates employees.
OF

3. Establishes a basis for


teamwork. Diverse groups cannot
effectively cooperate in joint
projects without an integrated
plan.

4. Helps anticipate problems and


cope with change. When
management plans, it can help
forecast future problems and
make any necessary changes up
front to avoid them.
OF
5. Provides guidelines for
decision making. Decisions are
future‐oriented. If management
doesn't have any plans for the
future, they will have few
guidelines for making current
decisions.
6. Serves as a prerequisite to employing all
other management functions. Planning is
primary, because without knowing what an
organization wants to accomplish, management
can't intelligently undertake any of the other
basic managerial activities: organizing, staffing,
leading, and/or controlling.
