Concept of Planning
2. Planning is looking ahead.– Planning is done for future.
– It requires peeping in future, analyzing it and predicting it.
– planning is based on forecasting.
– A plan is a synthesis of forecast.
– It is a mental predisposition for things to happen in future.

Concept of Planning
3. Planning is an intellectual process.– Planning is a mental exercise involving creative
thinking, sound judgement and imagination.

– A manager can prepare sound plans only if he has sound judgement, foresight and imagination.
– Planning is always based on goals, facts and considered estimates.

Concept of Planning
4. Planning involves choice & decision making.– Planning essentially involves choice among
various alternatives.
– decision making is an integral part of planning.
– A manager is surrounded by no. of alternatives. He has to pick the best depending upon
requirements & resources of the enterprises.

Concept of Planning
5. Planning is the primary function of management / Primacy of Planning.– Planning lays foundation for other functions
of management.
– It serves as a guide for organizing, staffing, directing and controlling.
– All the functions of management are performed within the framework of plans laid out.

Concept of Planning
6. Planning is a Continuous Process.– Planning is a never ending function.
– Plans are also prepared for specific period of time and at the end of that period, plans are subjected to revaluation and review in the light of new requirements and changing conditions.
– Planning never comes into end till the enterprise exists an issues, problems may keep cropping up and they have to be tackled by planning effectively

7. Planning is all Pervasive.– It is required at all levels of management and

Steps for Controlling
Control is the task of ensuring that the activities are providing the desired results. (Omran, 2001)
Based on this, control involves:
1. Setting a target (criteria),
2. Measuring the actual performance.
3. Taking the corrective actions.
