There is no discernible link between planning and performance; whom is this position held by ?
Henry Mintzberg
The claim that formal strategic planning shows no demonstrable link with organisational performance is the central argument of Mintzberg's book The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning (1994).
Mintzberg reviewed the research on planning and found no consistent evidence that firms which plan formally outperform those that do not. He named the fallacies of prediction, detachment and formalization, and argued that real strategy is often emergent, crafted through learning rather than programmed by planners.
Michael Porter belongs to the positioning school; his five forces and generic strategies rely on systematic industry analysis and support deliberate planning rather than rejecting it.
Milton Friedman was an economist best known for monetarism and for the 1970 view that the social responsibility of business is to increase its profits; he made no claim about planning and performance.
Gary Hamel, with C. K. Prahalad, is known for strategic intent and core competence; his work stresses ambition and innovation, not the empirical finding that planning and performance are unrelated.
Therefore, the position is identified with the strategy scholar who led the critique of formal planning.
Hence, Henry Mintzberg.
