Management potential — The gap in your plan

Abstract

Corporate planning has recently been faced with extreme changes in methodology and scope. Planners report that more variables than ever before must now be considered in both long‐ and short‐term projections. Alternative sets of plans are becoming the mode, partly in recognition of the unpredictable aspects of many of these variables. Protectionism, environmentalism, consumerism, and social concern are all impacting on plans already confounded by severe changes in economic conditions, balance of trade, energy usage, and foreign affairs. Planners are increasingly turning to computer systems for assistance in manipulating these large numbers of complex variables.
