Features of ‘Planning’:
• (i) Planning is continuous:
A plan is framed, it is implemented, and is followed by another plan,
• and so on. Thus, it is continuous in nature.
Plans are prepared for a specific period of time and at the end of that
period, a new plan is drawn on the basis of new requirements and
future conditions.
• (ii) Planning is futuristic:
Planning involves looking ahead and preparing for the future, to meet
• future events effectively to the best advantage of an organisation.
Planning is regarded as a forward-looking function based on
forecasting future events and drawing plans accordingly.
• (i) Objectives:
Objectives are the ends, which the management seeks to
achieve. They are usually set by top management of the
• organisation and focus on broad general issues.
Objectives need to be expressed in specific terms i.e. they
should be measurable in quantitative terms and are to be
achieved within a given time period.
• (ii) Rules:
Rules are specific statements that inform what is to be done and
not to be done. They do not allow for any flexibility or
• discretion.
They reflect a managerial decision that a certain action must or
must not be taken.
