Types of Planning: * Informal – not written down, little or no sharing of goals with others in the organization * Formal – specific goals covering a period of time are defined II. Why do Managers Plan? Purposes of Planning * Planning gives direction * Reduces the impact of change * Minimizes waste and redundancy * Sets the standard used in controlling Planning and Performance * Generally speaking, however, formal planning is associated with positive financial results. * The quality of the planning process and appropriate implementation probably contribute more to high performance than does the extent of planning. * When formal planning has been shown not to lead to higher performance, the environment is usually the reason. * Organizations need at least four years of systematic formal planning before performance is impacted.

...Even after investing over 10 lakhs in an MBA degree from one of highly advertised business school, Rajesh is still looking for an entry level job which can fetch him atleast 20-25,000 rupees per month so that he can start repayment of the loan his farmer father had taken from village landlord to finance his MBA. Rajesh completed his engineering from a private engineering college with a hope that he will be able to get a regular job which will minimize the uncertainty attached with the earnings from agriculture. He has seen his father losing sleep every year, when the rain gods played mischief. He has felt the anxiety at home till the time the payment for each crop was realised and all the small borrowings taken during the season for the crop were repaid. His father tried to fulfil all his financial needs so that he can be what he wants to be. Rajesh studied hard during his engineering course but he could not get any job during campus placements. After futile job search for over one year, few friends advised Rajesh to get an MBA degree. They said that MBA is a sure shot way to get a highly paid and high ranked job in a large MNC. He was lured by big advertisements of business schools which promised the students an ultra-modern campus and dream jobs. But even after attending over 25-30 job interviews, the best job he was offered was of sales executive with a “CTC” of rupees 2.5 lakh per annum but having fixed salary component of less than 10,000 rupees a month.

...her fragile life back into the world. Now we are together again. My mother’s story about the treatment that magically healed her at hospital inspired me to be a nurse. I also understood that I could help the people who need treatment and be of assistance even though I do not know them personally. So, I went to the nursing school. Now, I am working as a RN at Sibley Hospital in the Medical/Surgical unit. But, it is my wish to be a unit manager in the future; just an Associate Degree RN did not satisfy me. I have to work my way up. So, I made it my goal to get a higher education and make plans accordingly to improve my personal and professional qualities. Without a professional goal we cannot improve our performance at work. “It is important to identify a number of professional development opportunities and select the ones that match interests and needs” (Besnoy, 2007, p. 47). My professional goal is to become a Unit Manager. I have to start at the bottom though and work my way higher and higher. I make plan to shift my job from Medical/Surgical unit to ICU. That will help me to learn how to deal and treat for more critical patients. Staying at the bedside of patients and assessing them provides information about patient’s condition. This gives us a guide for what treatment(s) to give them. If they get their treatment(s) on time then they can progress faster. It can prevent from becoming...

...contingency plan. Things to take into account when planning for change in a business are: * Organizational level, this shows the relationship between a manger’s level in the organization and the type of planning done. For this most, lower level Managers do operational planning while upper level managers do strategic planning. * Degree of environmental certainty - when uncertainty is high, plans should be specific, but flexible. Mangers must be prepared to change or amend plans as they are implemented * Length of future commitments says that plans should extend far enough to meet those commitments made when the plans were developed. Planning for too long or too short a time period is inefficient and in-effective. If you take all of these contingency factors into account when making any business decision, it is likely that there are some that will carry too much risk to go ahead with, meaning that contingency factors can greatly affect planning. 2. In an uncertain environment, managers should develop plans that are specific, but flexible. Although this may seem contradictory, it’s not. To be useful, plans need some specificity, but the plans should not be set in stone. Managers need to recognize that planning is an ongoing process. The plans serve as a road map although the destination may due to dynamic market conditions. They should be ready to change directions if environmental conditions warrant. This flexibility is particularly important as plans are...
