defined at the organizational, and individual level and are meant to be achieved in
future and a specific time period.
⮚ A goal can be a short term, mid-term or long term. Plans are devised which are
aimed at achieving the se predefined goals. Goals specify what to achieve by
defined rules, policies, process, resources, strategies, etc.

per importance, identifying accuracy and relevance of
information from different sources, its unique features, sources
and reliability for the organization.

includes identifying different activities, required resources, timelines,
etc. to implement a plan.

activities, resources, time guidelines to individuals. This is
where strategies and plans are converted into actions to
achieve goals. It also requires allocation of responsibility in the
team which is responsible for accomplishing the plan.
