    Solution

    Planning is the function of management that involves setting objectives and determining a course of action for achieving those objectives.   Planning requires that managers be aware of critical environmental conditions facing their organization in terms of economic conditions, their competitors, and their customers. Planners must then attempt to forecast future conditions. These forecasts form the basis for planning.  It also requires that managers be good decision makers. Managers need to identify alternative courses of action for achieving objectives. After evaluating the various alternatives, they must make decisions about the best courses of action for achieving objectives.
