Planning skill: the ability to take action to
determine the objectives of the organization
as well as what is necessary to accomplish
these objectives.
Defining Planning
Planning is the process of determining how the
organization can get where it wants to go, and what it
will do to accomplish its objectives
Planning is “the systematic development of action
programs aimed at reaching agreed-upon business
objectives by the process of analyzing, evaluating, and
selecting among the opportunities which are foreseen”

Primacy of Planning
Planning is the primary management function, and is
the basis for the organizing, influencing, and
