By being organised, you are less likely to miss important values; one can then build on the identified approach to make the decisions better, mainly by being aware of what the organisation aims to achieve.
Oxford Business College is a city-centre based higher education college, offering business-based qualifications such as the BTEC HND in Business Management. The college has 25 employees and over 200 students. Within its current structure the Managing Director oversees the decision-making for the whole organisation in relation to income and expenditure, departmental reports alongside overall welfare of the employees and students.
The benefit of planning is that the organisation can convert values into actions, when they are faced with a decision it could determine which decision will help to advance their plans. Example being at Oxford Business College, the managing director has to make decisions on what modules should to taught by which lecturer, which class room to be issue in what subject,. By using the information held on the students and lecturers as well as knowledge of the students, giving the level they are at, having the information from accounts show whether or not the students have made payment for the course.
