1. Goal setting:
Plans are the means to achieve certain ends or objectives. Therefore, establishment of
organizational or overall objectives is the first step in planning. Setting objectives is the
most crucial part of planning. The organizational objectives should be set in key areas
of operations.
They should be verifiable i.e., they should as far as possible be specified in clear and
measurable terms. The objectives are set in the light of the opportunities perceived by
managers. Establishment of goals is influenced by the values and beliefs of executives,
mission of the organization, organizational resources, etc.
Objectives provide the guidelines (what to do) for the preparation of strategic and
procedural plans. One cannot make plans unless one knows what is to be accomplished.
Objectives constitute the mission of an organisation. They set the pattern of future
course of action.
The objectives must be clear, specific and informative. Major objectives should be
broken into departmental, sectional and individual objectives. In order to set realistic
objectives, planners must be fully aware of the opportunities and problems that the
enterprise is likely to face.
Before plans are prepared, the assumptions and conditions underlying them must be
clearly defined these assumptions are called planning premises and they can be

sudeepare vital to the success of planning as they supply per tenant facts about future.
They need revision with changes in the situation. Contingent plans may be prepared for
alternate situations.
3. Reviewing Limitations:
The key areas of Imitations are finance," human resources, materials, power and
machinery. The strong and weak points of the enterprise should be correctly assessed.
Once the broad goals, planning premises and limitations are laid down, the next step is
to decide the period of planning. The planning period should be long enough to permit
the fulfillment of the commitments involved in a decision.
This is known as the principle of commitment. The planning period depends on several
factors e.g., future that can be reasonably anticipated, time required to receive capital
investments, expected future availability of raw materials, lead time in development
and commercialization of a new product, etc.
After the goals are defined and planning premises are identified, management can
formulate policies and strategies for the accomplishment of desired results. The responsibility for laying down policies and strategies lies usually with management. But,
the subordinates should be consulted as they are to implement the policies and
strategies.
After the formulation of overall operating plans, the derivative or supporting plans are
prepared. Several medium range and short-range plans are required to implement
policies and strategies.
These plans consist of procedures, programmers, schedules, budgets and rules. Such
plans are required for the implementation of basic plans.
Operational plans reflect commitments as to methods, time, money, etc. These plans
are helpful in the implementation of long range plans. Along with the supporting, plans,
the timing and sequence of activities is determined to ensure continuity in operations.
7.Integration of plans:
Different plans must be properly balanced so that they support one another. Review and
revision may be necessary before the plan is put into operation. Moreover, the various
plans must be communicated and explained to those responsible for putting them into
practice.

Meaning of Control
All managers like to have controls because without them their plans would go awry.
There are following pre-requisites to have an effective control system.
Tailoring controls to plans and positions A control is exercised on an activity or a
group of activities. It follows that what control is good for a position may not be
relevant for another e.g., the Vice President of marketing and the Vice President of
operations cannot have the same controls though both maybe based on a financial
control system.
Tailoring controls to individual manager Controls have to be adjusted to the individual
managers capability also. If someone does not understand a control, he/she will not
trust it or use it as a result of which it will become dysfunctional.
Designing point to the exceptions at critical point If a control has to be effective, it
must control the exception and that too at the critical point. For example, the critical
point in home delivery of a birthday cake is the time and accuracy of writing the name.
The exception can be wrong name due to spelling variations and the time of delivery
due to wrong address.
Objectivity of controls Many management actions are subjective, but when controls
are created, they must be objective, accurate, and must suit a standard.
Flexibility Controls must be flexible to include the changed plans, unforeseen
circumstances, or outright failure. For example, Sambhavi may use budget control to
say the inventory level but if the sales are significantly higher or lower, there should be
flexibility in the control.
Fitting to the organizational culture Imagine putting tight control over Sambhavi
whose culture is family-like and open with the freedom to experiment.
Economy of controls Controls must be worth their costs. Creating controls which are
excessively expensive is counter-productive. For example, we cannot have the same
controls in an aircraft and a car.
Ability to lead to corrective action The control should lead to corrective action. Only
then it closes the loop and leads to better performance.

Groups
Concept of a Group
What is a group? A group is a collection of individuals who interact with each other such
that one persons actions have an impact on the others. In organizations, most work is
done within groups. How groups function has important implications for organizational
productivity. Groups where people get along, feel the desire to contribute to the team,
and are capable of coordinating their efforts may have high performance levels,
whereas teams characterized by extreme levels of conflict or hostility may demoralize
members of the workforce.
Purpose of a Group
Certain tasks can be performed only through the combined efforts of number of
individuals working together. The variety of experience and expertise among members
of the group provide a synergetic effect which can be applied to the increasingly
complex problems of modern organisations.
Groups may encourage collusion between members in order to modify formal working
arrangements more to their liking, for example by sharing or rotating unpopular tasks.
Group membership therefore, provides the individual with opportunities for initiative
and creativity.
Groups provide companionship and a source of mutual understanding and support
form colleagues. This can help in solving work problems, and also to mitigate against
stressful or demanding working conditions.
Membership of the group provides the individual with a sense of belonging. The
groups provides a feeling of identity and the chance to acquire role recognition and
status within the group.

but it remains pertinent to the purpose of the group. If discussion gets off track,
someone will bring it back in short order. The members listen to each other. Every idea
is given a hearing. People are not afraid of being foolish by putting forth a creative
thought even if it seems extreme.
Self-regulation.The ability to control or redirect disruptive impulses and moods, and the
propensity to suspend judgment and to think before acting. Hallmarks include
trustworthiness and integrity; comfort with ambiguity; and openness to change.
Internal motivation. A passion to work for internal reasons that go beyond money and
status -which are external rewards, - such as an inner vision of what is important in
life, a joy in doing something, curiosity in learning, a flow that comes with being

To Fiedler, stress is a key determinant of leader effectiveness (Fiedler and Garcia 1987;
Fiedler et al. 1994), and a distinction is made between stress related to the leaders
superior, and stress related to subordinates or the situation itself. In stressful
situations, leaders dwell on the stressful relations with others and cannot focus their
intellectual abilities on the job. Thus, intelligence is more effective and used more often
in stress-free situations. Fiedler concludes that experience impairs performance in lowstress conditions but contributes to performance under high-stress conditions. As with
other situational factors, for stressful situations Fiedler recommends altering or
engineering the leadership situation to capitalize on the leaders strengths.
