Planning- Concept, Importance, Limitations, and Process- Business Studies Class 12
Planning
Planning is done in advance to achieve the future objectives. It is basically setting up the target and formulating the action of the plan to achieve the business goal. Plans are always developed for a fixed period of time.
We can define Plans as “setting targets and objective for a fixed period of time and formulating multiple courses of action to achieve them and selecting the best alternative course of action”
“Planning is a function that determines in advance what should be done. It consists of selecting the enterprise objective, policy, programmes, procedures and other means of achieving those objectives. In planning, the manager must decide which of the alternative plans to be executed and followed. Planning is intellectual in nature. It is mental work. It is looking ahead and preparing for the future” Theo Haimann
