6 Types of Plans
Organizational plans can be generally described in terms of Instead of these, just state:
comprehensiveness, length of time covered or time frame,
specificity, and frequency of use. “Here are the different types of plans in an
Comprehensiveness refers to the completeness of planning organization with corresponding example”
coverage; for example: it may start from plans that cover the
entire organization, called strategic plans, up to opera-tional
plans that apply to a particular operational area only. The
more comprehensive the plan is, the better, as this could
completely guide both the employer and employee toward the
fast achievement of company goals.
A plan may be long-term, or covering more than three years,
or short-term, covering one year or less. Top-level
management usually sets the long-range plans, while lower-
level management focuses on short-term goals.
Specificity refers to very detailed, clearly defined plans
wherein objectives are clearly stated and could easily be
understood. Simple language must be used in order to fa-
cilitate understanding of the plan.
Frequency of use refers to the number of times or instances a
plan may be used. For example, strategical plans have single
use, while operational plans are usually standing or are used
frequently or for several times. Re-ferring to set plans is often
necessary to ensure that all plans are carried out, thus,
hastening the achievement of the organization’s goals.
Managers meet many planning challenges as they go about
their tasks and direct their company’s affairs. In some
organizations, the planning environment is steady, but in
others, it is dynamic, so, different types of plans are made to
meet organizational needs. Different types of planning include
 the following:
Strategic plans – plans that establish the organiza-tion’s
overall goals and apply to the entire firm; they are broad in
scope and are the responsibility of the CEO, president, and
general manager of the company.

2. Determine where you stand in relation to set

3. Develop premises regarding future conditions; an-ticipate

happen; identify for each scenario things that may help or
hinder progress toward your goals/objectives;
4. Analyze and choose among action alternatives; list and
carefully evaluate possible actions and choose the alternative
most likely to accomplish goals/objectives.
