Alternative form of classifying Plans<\/span><\/h4>\nAny course of future action encompasses a plan; we see that plans are varied. Here, they are known as,<\/span><\/p>\n\nPurposes or missions:<\/strong> The aim or objective determines the central role or task of, or some part of, an organization or entity.<\/span><\/li>\nObjectives or objectives:<\/strong> goals or objectives are the goals to which the action is driven.<\/span><\/li>\nStrategies:<\/strong> Strategies are described as defining the underlying long-term goals of an organization and taking action and allocating the resources required to achieve these objectives.<\/span><\/li>\nPolicies:<\/strong> Policies are often proposals to direct or channel thought in decision-making in terms of general statements or understandings.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\nProcedures:<\/strong> Procedures are plans that create a system of handling future activities that is needed.<\/span><\/li>\nRules:<\/strong> Rules set out explicit acts or non-actions that are expected, leaving no discretion.<\/span><\/li>\nPrograms:<\/strong> Programs are a collection of priorities, procedures, processes, guidelines, task assignments, steps to be taken, resources to be used, and other elements that are required for the implementation of a given course of action.<\/span><\/li>\nBudgets:<\/strong> A budget is a declaration expressed in numerical terms of projected performance. It can be referred to as a program called “number zed.”<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nTime Frames for planning<\/span><\/h4>\nStrategic strategies tend to have a long-term outlook (extended time horizon), an intermediate-term focus on tactical plans, and a short-term focus on operating plans. It should also note, of course, that time frames differ widely from industry to sector.<\/span><\/p>\nLong-Range Plans:<\/strong> A plan that spans several years, maybe even decades; five years or more are typical long-range plans.<\/span><\/p>\nIntermediate plans:<\/strong> A policy that normally spans periods of between one and five years.<\/span><\/p>\nShort Term Plans:<\/strong> A strategy that spans a period of one year or less in general.<\/span><\/p>\nAction Plan:<\/strong> A plan used by some other form of plan to operationalize.<\/span><\/p>\nReaction Plan:<\/strong> A plan designed to enable the organization to adapt to an unexpected situation.<\/span><\/p>\nBarriers to goal setting and planning<\/span><\/h4>\nManagers must consider the challenges that can disrupt them as part of controlling the goal setting and preparation processes. Also, administrators need to know how to conquer challenges.<\/span><\/p>\nThe following are significant challenges to target building and planning:<\/span><\/p>\n\nUnacceptable priorities<\/span><\/li>\nImproper recompense scheme<\/span><\/li>\nDynamic and dynamic setting<\/span><\/li>\nReluctance to establish objectives<\/span><\/li>\nResistance against transition<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe way the obstacles are overcome:<\/span><\/p>\n\nComprehension of the intent of priorities and preparation<\/span><\/li>\nCommunication and attendance<\/span><\/li>\nConsistency, upgrading, and revision<\/span><\/li>\nEfficient recompense scheme<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Planning: What is planning?
