This work explores the foundations and methodologies of enterprise planning. It begins with a problem statement and outlines the structure of the investigation, including theoretical and strategic considerations that could inform a planning theory. The empirical approaches to understanding the efficiency of business planning are examined, covering conceptual distinctions, efficiency hypotheses, and studies on institutional and functional efficiency. The text defines enterprise planning and its functions, discussing their interconnections and how these functions are operationalized in empirical research. It also addresses contextual and success factors that influence planning, including environmental impacts, variable dependencies, and multivariate explanatory approaches. Further, it assesses the situational evaluations of various functions of planning, such as coordination, integration, performance, motivation, adaptability, flexibility, innovation, creativity, optimization, and security. The design parameters of planning systems are analyzed, focusing on structural, processual, instrumental, and institutional variables. Lastly, the work presents a theoretical model for designing planning systems, including foundational assumptions and established models, followed by a contingency-theoretical efficiency analysis of real planning systems, detailing the study's conception, preparation, execution, and findings.
