Abstract | This paper attempts to provide a broad theoretical framework for understanding planning in organizations and other social systems; and it identifies the key conditions, processes, and structures of social systems in the planning concept. While other frameworks exist that detail singular aspects of planning as it actually occurs and describe planning as a normatively conceived process, it is assumed that those more detailed theories can be fitted into this general framework, potentially useful in analyzing particular cases. The content is organized according to (1) definitional issues, (2) framework for analyzing the planning potential of a social system, (3) implications of proposed framework for system analysis, (4) planning and organizations in relationship to the analytic framework, (5) organizational structures and processes involved in planning, and (6) conclusion. These sections move from definition to a general theoretical statement, and, finally, to the application of the theory to organizations. A bibliography is included. (Author) |
