Limitations of planning
नियोजन की सीमाएँ
In Class 12 Business Studies, this topic explains why planning, although essential for setting objectives and guiding business activities, cannot guarantee success. Students learn how planning may create rigidity, involve significant time and cost, delay action, and become ineffective when circumstances change rapidly. The topic also highlights that plans are based on assumptions about the future and may not work as expected in a dynamic business environment. Understanding these limitations helps students evaluate planning realistically while studying the broader chapter on Planning.
