Planning and decision making are important executive functions. Planning involves formulating strategies to achieve desired goals, while decision making is choosing between alternatives. There are different types of plans - tactical, strategic, operational, and contingency plans - each with their own purpose. Good planning is focused, actionable, and aligned. Decision making allows managers to better utilize resources and face challenges. Planning provides alternatives for decision makers to evaluate in addressing problems and achieving objectives. The two functions are interrelated, as decision making is at the core of planning implementation.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. PLANNING AND DECISION MAKING
Definition and importance of
PLANNING
&
DECISION MAKING
“whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a
courageous decision”
-Peter F. Drucker
2. WHAT IS PLANNING?
Planning is one of the executive functions involved in the formulation,
evaluation and selection of a sequence of thoughts and actions to
achieve a desired goal.
According to KOONTZ,
”Planning is deciding in
advance- what to do
when to do and how to
do.”
Planning is chalking out
the future course of
action and deciding in
advance.
3. A plan is like a map.
When following the map, you can always see how much we have
progressed towards our project goal and how far we are from our
destination.
It bridges the gap from where we are and where we want to be.
It is one of the most important project management and time
management techniques.
It crucial for meeting our needs during each action step with our
time, money, or other resources.
4. TYPES OF PLAN
Tactical plans:
The tactical plan describes the tactics the organization plans to use to
achieve the ambitions outlined in the strategic plan.
Strategic plans:
Strategic plans are the plans developed to achieve strategic goals.
Managers at every level will turn to the strategic plan to guide their decisions.
Operational plans:
The operational plan describes the day to day running of the company..
Long range plan:
A plan that covers many years, perhaps even decades is called long range plan
Commonly they are made for five years in organization.
Contingency Plan:
A plan designed to take account of a possible future event or circumstances.
5. IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING
The planning process identifies the goals or objectives to be achieved,
formulates strategies to achieve them, arranges or creates the means
required, and implements, directs, and monitors all steps in their proper
sequence. Some importance are:
Increases efficiency
Reduces business related risks
Emphasizes proper coordination
Gives right decision
Aids in organizing
Keeps good control
Helps to achieve objectives
Motivates the personnel
Encourages creativity and innovation
Helps in decision making
6. FEATURES OF GOOD PLAN
Start with outcomes: Our planning should be able to master the
work outcomes we want to achieve as the result of completing our
development actions.
Focused and precise: our plan should be limited to behaviorally
defined areas for improvement.
Actionable: We have to identify the most important actions that
others will take support in our development goals.
Aligned: Our stakeholder's are in agreement regarding our plan
outcomes so plans should be aligned.
Based on feedback: we have to identify within the organization
in the best position to provide us with developmental feedback.
7. WHAT IS DECISION MAKING?
Decision making is the act of choosing one alternative form
among a set of alternatives.
It is one of the central activities of management and is a
huge part of any process of implementation.
8. CONDITION OF DECISION MAKING
Making decision is particularly important to managers. managers
may face three different conditions: Certainty, Risk, Uncertainty
A state of certainty exists only when the managers knows the
available alternatives as well as the conditions and consequences of
those actions.
The state of risk exists when the manager is aware of all the
alternatives, but is unaware of their consequences.
In todays complex environment most significant decisions are made
under a state of uncertainty where there is no awareness of all the
alternatives and also the outcomes even for the known alternatives.
9. STEPS IN DECISION MAKING
Step 1: Identifying the Problem
Step 2: Identifying Decision Criteria
Step 3: Allocating Weights to the Criteria
Step 4: Developing Alternatives
Step 5: Analyzing Alternative
Step 6: Selecting an Alternative
Step 7: Implementing the Alternative
Step 8: Evaluating Decision Effectiveness
10. IMPORTANCE OF DECISION MAKING
Better utilization of resources
Facing problems and challenges
Business growth
Achieving objective
Increases efficiency
Emphasizes innovation
Motivates employees
11. INTERRELATION BETWEEN PLANNING AND
DECISION MAKING
In decision making process,
a manager identifies a specific
situation and finds the threats
and opportunities that it offers.
Than the manager must find
the available alternatives to
tackle with the situation. This is
where planning comes in.
12. By planning; manager finds the exact alternative by testing
and measuring their effectiveness.
He identifies the pros and cons of each alternative.
After that the managers must use their decision-making skills
for selecting one path of action.
Decision making is the core of planning. Unless a decision
has been made, a plan cannot be implemented in the
field.
Peter F. Drucker
He was an American management consaultant, educator and author.
