Abstract

Planning is a systematic-methodical approach for understanding and solving prospective problems. The main characteristics are its concern about information and future constellations, the rational rather than intuitive manner, the intention to structure and design and its process-orientation. Motivated by the ambition to secure effectiveness or efficiency of courses of actions, it also is intended to identify and minimise risks, to enlarge the degrees of freedom, to reduce complexity or to benefit from synergies [WILD81 12ff].
