WHY some managers don’t plan?
Planning requires managers to set aside their
regular responsibilities to develop plans
New events may happen and there may not
always be enough time to plan

WHAT IS INVOLVED WITH PLANNING?
Planning translates an organization’s mission (purpose or reason for being) into
objectives/goalsThe mission statement answers the question“what is our reason for being?”
The vision statement answers the question“what do we want to become?”
Planning begins with the mission statement

Having clearly defined mission and visionstatements allows three things to happen:1. Strategic planning by top management where
long-term goals are determined and
available resources are identified2. Tactical planning by middle management
where contributions their departments orsimilar work units can make are determined
3. Operational planning by first-line managerswhere how specific tasks will beaccomplished using available resources isdetermined

The purpose of planning is to set goals and then
formulate action plans
Specific commitments to achieve a measurable result
within a stated period of time are known as goals or
objectives
Goals/objectives are put in a means-end chain where
the achievement of low-level goals is the means to
achieve high-level goals or ends
![Page 20: LEC 5 - Planning 2011 Student Ed(1)](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021213/577d267e1a28ab4e1ea16165/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
8/4/2019 LEC 5 - Planning 2011 Student Ed(1)
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/lec-5-planning-2011-student-ed1 20/32
Strategic goals focus on objectives for the
organization as a whole, while tactical goals focus
on the actions needed to achieve strategic goals,
and operational goals are concerned with short-
term matters associated with realizing tactical
goals

Once goals are set, the firm makes an action plan which defines the course of action needed to achievestated goals
An operating plan defines how the firm will conduct
business based on the action plan - it identifiesclear targets such as revenues, cash flow, andmarket share.
Operating plan involves first line supervisors and
hence their inputs are very important. E.g SamWalton.

an attainable goal for many students.
