1. Planning - Setting objectives and deciding how to
achieve them.
It is the first and most critical function of management. It
involves setting the direction for the organization and
deciding in advance what should be done, how, and when.
Without a solid plan, an organization can become disjointed,
and resources may be wasted.
Managers must plan for both short-term and long-term
objectives, taking into consideration external factors like
market conditions, technological developments, and
competitors.

direction of the organization.

strategies in a specific, often departmental,
context.

for unexpected events or crises.

and attainable goals.

weaknesses, and external opportunities and
threats.
