The Difficulties or Criticisms which are involved in planning process can be described as follows:
- 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 among st 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 plnning due to psychological differences.
