Planning provide directions and reduces the risk for uncertainty. Explain?

The planning process clearly defines and maps out the guidelines for the smooth operations

of a business in order to achieve its main goals/objectives. By stating in advance how

work is to be done, planning provides direction to action. It ensures that objectives /goals

are clearly stated so that they act as a guide for deciding what action should be taken

and in which direction

Planning enables a manager to look ahead and anticipate changes. By deciding in advance

the task to be performed, planning shows the way to deal with changes and uncertain

events. Thus, planning helps to reduce the risks of uncertainty by preparing forecasts.
