Marking-scheme solution
Importance of delegation
(i)
Employee development
As a result of delegation, employees get more opportunities to utilise
their talent and this may give rise to latent abilities in them.
It makes them better leaders and decision makers and helps by preparing
better future managers.
(ii)
Motivation of employees
When a superior entrusts a subordinate with a task, it is not merely the
sharing of work but involves trust on the superior’s part and commitment
on the part of the subordinate.
This builds self-esteem of the employees leading to performance.
(iii)Effective management
By empowering the employees, the managers are able to function more
efficiently as they get more time to concentrate on important matters.
Freedom from doing routine work provides them with opportunities to
excel in new areas.

Q(b) Explain the following points of importance of planning:
(i)
Planning provides directions
(ii)
Planning reduces overlapping and wasteful activities
(iii)
Planning establishes standards for controlling
Importance of planning
(i)
Planning provides directions
Planning provides direction for action by stating in advance how
work is to be done
It also ensures that the goals or objectives are clearly stated so that
they act as a guide for deciding what action should be taken and in
which direction.
(ii)
Planning reduces overlapping and wasteful activities
Planning serves as the basis of coordinating the activities and
efforts of different divisions, departments and individuals. It
helps in avoiding confusion and misunderstanding.
Useless and redundant activities are minimized or eliminated.
(iii) Planning establishes standards for controlling
Planning provides the goals or standards against which actual
performance is measured.
It is a prerequisite for controlling. If there were no goals and standards,
then, finding deviations which are a part of controlling, would not be
possible.
