Answer -
Planning is concerned with predetermined course of action. It provides the directions to efforts of employees. Planning makes clear what employees have to do , how to do etc.
By stating in advance how work has to be done, planning provides direction for action. Employees know in advance in which direction they have to work. This leads to unity of direction also. If there were no planning, employees would be working in different directions and organisations would not be able to achieve its desired goal.
