(b) May not work in a dynamic environment: It is difficult to accurately assess future trends in environmental changes required for effective planning.
(c) Reduces Creativity: Middle managers have to just implement the plans formed by top management without any deviations.
(d) Involve huge cost: Cost is incurred on discussions with professional experts, etc.
(e)**Time consuming**: A lot of time is consumed in collective and analysis of data, less time may be left for implementation.
