Planning serves as the basis of coordinating the activities and efforts of different divisions, departments and individuals. It helps in avoiding confusion and misunderstanding. As it ensures clarity in thought and action, work is carried on smoothly without interruptions. Thus, we can say, by opting planning, managers can eliminate or minimise the useless and redundant activities.
