प्रश्न
Explain any three features of 'Planning.'
उत्तर
Three features of planning:
i. Attainment of goals: Planning lays a foundation for the key goals of an organisation to be achieved. It makes sure that the organisation uses all its available resources to achieve the desired level of output in a given time. It ensures that the organisation follows a particular strategy in routine to achieve the desired results ultimately. For example, if an organisation expects to increase its turnover by 30% in one year, then plans are formulated in accordance with that desired expectation of results.
ii. Basis of subsequent functions: Planning serves as a basis or foundation for subsequent functions of management, i.e. directing, controlling, staffing and organising. When the desired performance/output level is planned, the other functions come into play. Without a plan, all other functions of management would serve no purpose at all.
iii. Broad scope: Plans are made and followed by all levels of a particular organisation to achieve their certain standards of performance. Top level managers make plans to initiate and implement different policies. Middle level managers make plans to get the workers to understand and follow the policies. Lower level managers plan to supervise and guide workers to achieve their targets.

Mega Ltd. holds an Annual Management Programme every year in the month of March in which the top managerial personnel formulates plans for the next year by analyzing and predicting the future to meet future events effectively. As they are responsible for providing direction to the organization, facts are thoroughly checked using scientific calculations. Detailed plans are prepared after discussion with professional experts. Preliminary investigations are also undertaken to find out the viability of the plan. Since it is an intellectual activity requiring intelligent imagination and sound judgment so it is mainly done by the top management. Usually, rest of the members just implement the plans. Middle-level managers are neither allowed to deviate from the plans nor are they permitted to act on their own. The top management ensures that the expenses incurred in formulating the plans justify the benefits derived from them.
