The case of the disappearing planner

Abstract

Since the scientific study of management began more than a hundred years ago, planning has been acknowledged to be one of the principle functions of managers. It seems hard to remember now, but it wasn't until after the Second World War that the planning function was given over to specialists. Today, most management takes it for granted that the planning staff controls the planning function.
