...Management Planning Paper Samuel K. Mims MGT 330 Roxanne Bates July 26th, 2011 Management planning is the most important function of management because it is the foundation for the organization. The planning function of management is the management function of systematically making decisions about the goals and activities than an individual, a group, a work unit, or the overall organization will pursue.

When it comes to a huge corporation such as Boeing, the planning function becomes even more important because there are so many different divisions within the corporation that must be accounted for. In Boeing’s case, they are a multinational corporation that provides their services all throughout the world so they have to plan on a worldwide scale which is a much more difficult task than planning as a domestic company. Boeing’s planning functions are well thought out and executed to the fullest of their ability as they are very focused on their stakeholders needs, motivating their workforce, enabling teams, requiring alignment...

...The importance and benefits of critical thinking in the decision-making processes Critical Thinking: Strategies in decision making MGT/ 330 Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter divisions: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reasons, depth, breadth, and fairness. It entails the examination of those structures or elements of thought implicit in all reasoning: purpose, problem, or question-at-issue, assumptions, concepts, empirical grounding; reasoning leading to conclusions, implications and consequences, objections from alternative viewpoints, and frame of reference. Critical thinking - in being responsive to variable subject matter, issues, and purposes – is incorporated in a family of interwoven modes of thinking, among them: scientific thinking, mathematical thinking, historical thinking, anthropological thinking, economic thinking, moral thinking, and philosophical thinking. http://www.criticalthinking.org/aboutCT/definingCT.cfm.
