What does the notion of career planning and management mean and whose responsibility is this?

Career planning is a subset of career management. Career planning applies the concepts of Strategic planning and Marketing to taking charge of one’s professional future. Career is an ongoing process and so it needs to be assessed on continuous basis. This process of re-assessing individual learning and development over a period of time is called Career Planning. According to Mondy and Noe – ” Career planning is an ongoing process whereby an individual sets career goals and identifies the means to achieve them.”
