The first step in management is planning..

1. Planning

2. Planning
Planning means looking ahead and chalking out future
courses of action to be followed. It is a preparatory step. It is a
systematic activity which determines when, how and who is
going to perform a specific job.
Planning is a detailed programme regarding future
courses of action. It is rightly said “Well plan is half done”.
Therefore planning takes into consideration available &
prospective human and physical resources of the organization
so as to get effective co-ordination, contribution & perfect
adjustment. It is the basic management function which
includes formulation of one or more detailed plans to achieve
optimum balance of needs or demands with the available
resources.
SO, PLANNING IS THE FIRST MANAGEMENT FUNCTION AND WHEN WE PLAN WE
SHOULD CONSIDER NOT ONLY THE GOAL/GOALS OF OUR COMPANY BUT ALSO
THE RESOURCES THAT CAN CONTRIBUTE IN ORDER FOR US TO BE SUCCESSFUL

3. Planning in the Organization
The successful organization is one that has a clear plan.
The plan clarifies to both employees working in the organization
and to those dealing with the organization, what it is that the
company is doing and where they are headed.
Planning Emcompasses:
• Defining the organization’s objectives or goals.
• Establishing an overall strategy for achieving those goals.
• Developing a comprehensive hierarchy of plans to integrate and
coordinate activities.

4. Advantages of Planning
• It gives direction to managers and nonmanagers
alike.
• Planning can reduce the impact of change.
• It minimize waste and redundancy.
• Planning establishes objectives or standards that
facilitate control.

5. Disadvantages of Planning
• Planning may create rigidity.
• Plans can’t be developed for a dynamic environment.
• Formal plans can’t replace intuition and creativity.
• Planning focuses managers’ attention on today’s
competition, not on tomorrow’s survival.
• Formal planning reinforces success, which may lead
to failure. ALL IN ALL IT CAN GIVE THE
ORGANIZATION A SMOOTH PROCESS TO
ACHIEVE ITS MISSION BUT WE MUST
CONSIDER CHANGES THAT COULD AFFECT
OUR PLANS FOR TOMORROW’S SURVIVAL.

7. Strategic and Tactical Plans
• Strategic plans are plans that apply to the entire
organization, establish the organization’s overall
objectives, and seek to position the organization in
terms of its environment.
• Tactical plans (sometimes referred to as operational
plans) specify the details of how the overall objectives
are to be achieved.
• Strategic and tactical plans differ in three primary ways
—their time frame, scope, and whether they include
a known set of organizational objectives.
SO STRATEGIC PLANS IS MORE GENERAL IN TERMS OF ESTABLISHING
OVERALL OBJECTIVES WHILE TACTICAL PLANS IS MORE SPECIFIC ON
HOW TO ACHIEVE THOSE OBJECTIVES.

8. Short-term and Long-term Plans
• Short-term plans are plans that cover less than one
year.
• Long-term plans are plans that extend beyond five
years.
• Their differences lie in the length of future
commitments and the degree of variability
organizations face.
FOR EXAMPLE YOUR LONG TERM PLAN IS TO HAVE AN EXTENSION
BRANCHES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY SO YOUR SHORT PLAN FOR EXAMPLE IS
TO GAIN AWARENESS TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT YOU CAN EARN ENOUGH
MONEY/PROFIT TO ACHIEVE YOUR LONG TERM PLAN.

9. Specific and Directional Plans
• Specific plans have clearly defined objectives and
leave no room for misinterpretation.
• Directional plans are flexible plans that set out
general guidelines.

10. Single-use and Standing Plans
• Single-use plans are used to meet the needs of
particular or unique situation.
• Standing plans are ongoing, and provide guidance
for repeatedly performed actions in an organization.

11. STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT

12. What’s Strategy?
• Strategy is management’s overall plan and actions
for deploying resources and skills taking into
consideration opportunities and threats in the
environment

13. What is Strategic Management?
• Focuses on how managers formulate and implement,
and evaluate strategies aimed at developing and
maintaining competitive advantage:
– the reason some firms enjoy higher levels of
performance than their rivals or competitors.
FOR EXAMPLE ONE COMPANY IS VERY GOOD

MANAGEMENT SO THEIR OVER ALL
PERFORMANCE IS HIGHER THAN OTHER
COMPETITORS.

14. Importance of Strategic Management

firm successful
