Planning Systems Theory

Planning Systems Theory is a framework for understanding how organizations develop and implement strategies to achieve their goals. It views planning as a dynamic, interconnected process involving the collection of information, setting objectives, evaluating options, and executing plans while adapting to changes. This theory emphasizes that effective planning requires coordination across different parts of an organization, continuous feedback, and flexibility to respond to new circumstances. It helps organizations improve decision-making by systematically analyzing their environment and aligning resources and actions to meet long-term objectives.
