Synopsis
Excerpt from Planning Systems for Successful Management
If we accept the proposition that planning is under normal conditions, an onerous task, and that people avoid it if they feel that they do not have to engage in it, then we must (a) try to understand the reasons why this aversion is prevalent, (b) identify the symptoms exhibited in organizations which do not encourage planning and the causes of these symptomatic behaviors, and (c) effect the necessary changes in the organizational climate which will encourage planning for the prevention of crises.
