Organizing is getting everything that the business needs in order to get off the ground. The processes included in organizing is identification of activities, classification of grouping, assignment of duties, delegation of authority and the creation of responsibility, coordinating authority and responsibility relationships. Leading is part of the managerial function which actuates the organizational methods to work efficiently for the achievement of organizational purposes leading has the following elements: Supervision, Motivation, Leadership and Communication. Controlling combines measurement of achievement against standards of correction and makes sure everyone is doing the fair share of work.

The advantages of participative planning is that everything is already done for when you are ready to set everything up and the disadvantages of participative planning is that after everything is finished by a member of the group then they just sit around and make sure everyone else does there job.
