Solution

Planning means looking ahead and chalking out future courses of action to be followed. It is a preparatory step. It is a systematic activity which determines when, how and who is going to perform a specific job. Planning is a detailed programme regarding future courses of action.
Planning is the first and most important function of management. It is needed at every level of management. In the absence of planning all the business activities of the organisation will become meaningless. The importance of planning has increased all the more in view of the increasing size of organisations and their complexities.
Planning has again gained importance because of uncertain and constantly changing business environment. In the absence of planning, it may not be impossible but certainly difficult to guess the uncertain events of future.
