It is a forward process to reducing uncertainty about the future.</p><p>Planning is a continuous process which would generally involve four fundamental steps.</p><p>1. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Establishing the objectives</p><p>2. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Determining the goals</p><p>3. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Developing strategies</p><p>4. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Formulating profits plans or budget.</p></div><h3></h3><br> <br><p></p>
