Factors that highlight the importance of planning

Factors that highlight the importance of planning

Answers

Faith
1. Increasing time-spans: The time span separating present decisions and future results is increasing in most organizations. Therefore, managers must attempt to consider what could happen that might affect the desired outcome.

2. Increasing organization complexity: As organizations become larger and more complex, the manager’s job also becomes bigger and more complicated by the interdependence among the various parts of the organization. Planning enables the manager to define the job that needs to be done by each organizational unit and the way to go about doing it.

3. Increased external changes: The rapid rate of change in the external environment forces managers at all levels to focus on larger issues rather than solely on solving internal problems.
4. Planning and other management functions: Planning is the beginning of the management process. It is the foundation upon which the other functions are built.
