Management Planning and Christian Managers: A Literature Review

Abstract

In the field of management research and practice, Management planning has been identified as a fundamental aspect of organizations. Increasingly however, observations on the role of religion in influencing management practice is on the rise, and this has driven the quest to study Christian managers and how their religious beliefs impact their roles as managers with a special focus on management planning. This study focused on management planning, Biblical perspective on planning and what is expected of Christian managers in the world of management with a special focus on management planning. The study identified that many lessons and recommendations from the Holy Bible actually do align with modern-day management practices. It also recommends that Christian managers should not only practice management planning but should prioritize planning amongst other management functions while also ensuring that their planning practices align with Christian values and ethics
