1) Planning-Planning is the basic function of management. It`s planning ahead; What needs to be done and when does it need to be done? It gets you from where you are to where you want to be.
2) Organizing-Organizing is deciding what is going to be done and how it`s going to be done. Organizing is making sure you have the tools to do it, as well. You have to identify what is being done in order to ensure you know what materials are needed.
4) Directing-Directing is making sure everything is being done right. Unlike controlling, it`s more about motivating and encouraging. It sets things in motion making it the "life-spark" of an enterprise.
5) Controlling-The purpose of controlling is to ensure everything is finished efficiently and within the guidelines. It can help get a problem spotted before the problem actually occurs.
The advantages of participative planning are that everything is already pre-planned, so there is less chance of problems occurring, and there is less time needed to plan as you go.
The disadvantages of participative planning are that if everything is planned out, then when the time comes to do something and it doesn`t work, you have to re-plan out everything.
