Question

which question should effective managerial planning answer?
a. \what do we want to do?\
b. \who will do the work?\
c. \did we accomplish our goals?\
d. \how will we monitor the workforce?\

Explanation:

Managerial planning is about setting goals and determining what the organization aims to achieve. Option A directly relates to the core of planning - defining the objectives or what the entity wants to do. Options B (Who will do the work) is more about organizing and staffing. Option C (Did we accomplish our goals) is about controlling and evaluating. Option D (How will we monitor the workforce) is also related to controlling and management of employees rather than the planning stage which is focused on the "what" (goals).

Answer:

A. "What do we want to do?"
