    Barriers of Effective Planning

    Uploaded by

    Sheena Dominique Gerardino Timbad
    There are several barriers to effective planning including the difficulty of accurately predicting the future given uncertain external factors, rapid changes in the environment, and internal inflexibilities related to psychological resistance to change, policies and procedures, and capital investments. External factors like political climate, trade unions, and technological changes can also generate inflexibilities. The planning process is also quite costly and time-consuming. People can fail in planning due to a lack of clear objectives, lack of management support, lack of delegated authority, and inadequate controls. To overcome these barriers, organizations should establish a climate supportive of planning, initiate planning at the top level, encourage participation in planning across levels, communicate planning elements, and integrate long and short-term plans.
