Though planning is is an important tool of management yet it is not a remedy for all type problem do you agree give any three reason
Answers
Yes, I do agree with this statement. No doubt planning is an important tool of management but it is not free from limitations. That is why, it can be said that it is not a remedy of all types of problems. Following are the limitations of it:
(i) Planning Creates Rigidity: Although the quality of flexibility is inherent in planning, but it must be admitted that only small changes are possible. Big changes are neither possible nor in the interest of the organisation. Since it is not possible to introduce desired changes according to the changed situations, the organisation loses many chances of earning profits.
(ii) Planning does not work in a Dynamic Environment: Planning is based on the anticipation of future happenings. Since future is uncertain and dynamic, therefore, the future anticipations are not always true. Therefore, it can be said that planning does not work in dynamic environment.
(iii) Planning Reduces Creativity: Under planning all the activities connected with the attainment of objectives of the organisation are pre-determined. Consequently, everybody works as they have been directed to do and as it has been made clear in the plans. Therefore, it checks their incisiveness. It means that they do not think about appropriate ways of discovering new alternatives.
