► Uncertainty of future events: It

is one of the biggest
difficulties of planning process. It is matter of fact that planning is related
with forecasting of future events in an advance manner. And we know that
future is uncertain & risk-oriented what will happen tomorrow we can’t
say with certainty, but we can predict about future events through
planning. But it is not important the predictions which are made by us will
be in accurate form. Hence, it is clear that there is a fear of uncertainty of
future conditions in planning.
► Costly Process: It also creates a huge problem in course of
making plans of an organization. Planning refers to an expensive process
because it requires a lot of investment of money as well as effort. Infect,
planning involves collection of information & data from different source &
environment so that experts are needed to put into work in this field
which makes planning process more expensive. Thus, it is clear that
planning is a costly process.

► Time Consuming Process: Planning is the time consuming process.
Because planning requires a lot of time for thinking, evaluating the business
conditions and drawing the final plan and so in case emergency or important
decision is required it will take optimum time and business will lose its golden
opportunity. As a result business organization cannot be run smoothly for a long
period.

► Lack of Accuracy: There is lack of proper accuracy in planning. Because
we know that panning is based on future & future is always uncertain &
unpredictable what will occur tomorrow we can’t say with certainty. Thus to
make reliable data and accurate prediction is too necessary. In the absence of
reliable data & accurate prediction, there is chance of business loss and failure.
On the whole it is clear that there is lack of proper accuracy in planning.

► Difficulty in the Selection of the best Alternative: It is one of
the greatest demerits of planning. Infect, planning provides a large number of
alternatives to organization to perform its events or activities in the best form.
But it is not possible for organization to select the best alternative amongst the
various alternatives because organization has no clear idea about the best
alternatives, due to large appearance of alternative courses. So that it is clear,
there is difficulty in the selection of the best alternative course in planning.

► Limited Flexibility: There is lack of required flexibility in planning. It
is matter of fact that in organization every personnel are bound to do their
assigned tasks according to preset plans of organization. Hence, in case the
personnel face the difficulties in course of executing the tasks then they have
no rights to bring changes in the plans of organization on the sport. Thus it is
clear; there is lack of required flexibility in planning.

► Psychological Barriers: Psychological Barriers are also creating
great difficulties in course of making business plans. In every organization
upper level managers give the priority to present events in comparison to
future events because present is more certain & beneficial to organization
rather than future. But on the other hand we know that planning relates to
forecasting of future events in advance manner. Hence, how can it possible
that managers will give important to present. On the whole we can say that
there is conflict in manager’s mind about planning due to psychological
differences.
