7-7 Copyright ©
2011 Pearson Education Why Do Managers Plan? Purposes of Planning • Provides direction • Reduces uncertainty • Minimizes waste and redundancy • Sets the standards for controlling
8.
7-8 Copyright ©
2011 Pearson Education Planning and Performance • Formal planning is associated with: – Higher profits and returns on assets. – Positive financial results. • The quality of planning and implementation affects performance more than the extent of planning. • The external environment can reduce the impact of planning on performance. • Formal planning must be used for several years before planning begins to affect performance.
9.
7-9 Copyright ©
2011 Pearson Education Planning in Arab Culture • Planning is underdeveloped in Arab societies – some attribute this to an Arab culture that is supposedly fixated on the past and resists planning for the future. • Fatalism – the belief in predestination, in the sense that a person has no control over things that happen to him as things have already been predestined from God. • This is a mistaken understanding of Qadar. – Belief in Qadar does not mean that people should not plan.
10.

2011 Pearson Education Planning in Arab Culture (cont’d) • Early Arabs planned, which explains their successes. • Later, however, fatalism – as a historic practice, not a religious doctrine – has displayed itself in their societies. • What is needed is a gradual development in value systems, leading to the notion that planning is required to succeed and this is – in fact – in harmony with religious teachings.
11.
