KN : planning
AN : managers set goals , aims and objectives for the business
AN+: they provide a clear road map for the employees so the employees dont get off the track and have the focus on the aim or objective

[KN] Organising.
[AN] This may mean that people and other resources are required to meet particular objectives of the business.
[AN+] This may be done through careful recruitment process and also encouraging employees through delegation which may improve employee morale as they may receive authority and take accountability.

Moderator Comment:
@Hamnah Naz AN shall not explain or define the KN. It shall give impact, like in your case if managers organize, that will help in avoiding tasks been repeated /overlapped. This leads to everyone working different set of tasks, leading to performance analysis and appraisal.

[zeemal rashid]

[KN]: organising
[AN]: the structure of the business is clear and shows an understandable chain of commands
[AN+]: therefore, the employees are aware of their position in the business and the flow of decisions from the higher levels to the lower levels is also clear

@Haasher Omar Khan Little addition to the answer would have worked like a charm. AN is not the impact of KN. AN+ is just an addition to AN point. Please EDIT this answer and update.
