The government`s assumptionis that this approach to decision making will lead to improvements in performance. Although the theoretical costs and benefits of rational plannning have been widely debated in the public administration literature, no systematic empirical research on the impact of planning on the performance of public organizations has ben conducted. By contrast, the relationship between rational planning and the success of private firms has been investigated extensively. A meta-analysis and critical review of this evidence suggests that planning is generally associated with superior performance. However,important questions remain unresolved. For example, under what circumstances does planning work best, and which elements of planning are most important? Therefore, although it may be appropriate to encourage public agencies to consider caregully the potential benefits of planning, rational processes should not be imposed upon them
