Specific goals are set out in the plans along with the activities to be undertaken to achieve the goals. Thus Planning is Purposeful. Planning has no meaning unless it contributes to the achievement of predetermined organisational goals.

(b) Planning is a mental exercise: Planning requires application of the mind involving foresight, intelligent imagination and sound judgment. It is basically an intellectual activity of thinking rather than doing. Because, planning determines the action to be taken.

In other words, thinking for planning must be orderly and based on the analysis of facts and forecasts.
