Answer 2

Following is a construct in favour of the given statement:

Explanation:

• Formal plans cannot replace intuition and creativity. Planning focuses the managers' concentration on today's competition, not on future survival.  

• Formal planning emphasizes success, which might lead to failure.

• Without creativity, there would be no new idea generation and the organization will keep working on primordial ways, which will consequently lead to loss of vigour in it.

• Subsequently, formal plans may result in expensive blunders and bring upon catch up costs when others take the lead.

• For example, several companies have discovered much of their success to be the outcome of drifting into unexplored waters, designing and developing novel industries as they go.
