management highlighted in the above para are:
(i)
Planning provides directions
§ Planning 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.
§ If goals are well defined, employees are aware of what the
organisation has to do and what they must do to achieve
those goals. Departments and individuals in the organisation
are able to work in coordination.
(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.
