Where are you going Raja & Charlie? This is planning we are talking about, just stick to the subject matter & enjoy the ride...dont let the thing go bland...Planning is endless....otherwise the big boys will stop creating what really fits in what...

Necessary or not, to buy expensive software...its up to the user to evaluate the software, what the use for, what they spend for and what they get. To me it worth to buy software can make money.
Thanks for the nutritious advice. Yes I agree with you, but what do you really mean by formal planning & where does it applies?...is it really necessary in some aspect? I mean were now living in a world of machines & yet very few people are even aware of it...and its still rolling...
This seems to imply that small business don’t plan.
While small businesses might not have a formal planning set-up, they do plan, even if these plans are contained solely within the head of the owner. Small businesses survive due to the ability of their owner/manager to work towards a goal or a set of desired results usually within a set time frame. While this might not be written down or recorded in some other fashion, or even explicitly stated, it is still a plan.
Whether it’s realistic or achievable is another matter. Where it is realistic and achievable, small businesses become medium and even big businesses and this is usually where the formal planning process comes in.
So to answer your question small business do plan and, if their plans are realistic and achievable, some of them survive.

Hi there,
Where are you going Raja & Charlie? This is planning we are talking about, just stick to the subject matter & enjoy the ride...dont let the thing go bland...Planning is endless....otherwise the big boys will stop creating what really fits in what...
Hi Charles,
its same thinking but diffrent idea, just to make our Mr Edgar Cheer with his radical question, one and only radical planner lefted behind after they retreat year 90.

Hi guys,
No point for the two of you going the opposite way in your thinking.
Remember, Edgar consider Raja his BFF.
On the other hand two people do think differently.
Radical Planner are vanishing because redicalism was associated with the communist movement in the early 50 to 90.
The new world is to live together and enjoy life as a planner. Just plain planning.
Cheers
Hi Edgar,

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the nutritious advice. Yes I agree with you, but what do you really mean by formal planning & where does it applies?...is it really necessary in some aspect? I mean were now living in a world of machines & yet very few people are even aware of it...and its still rolling...
Are these expensive softwares really necessary?
Edgar,
In your last post you say:
If No, then how did small businesses survive?

Thank you Mr. Jonker (I do respect seniors)
Can any business run without planning? (simple subtraction).
If No, then how did small businesses survive?
(dont worry, i wont apply that on your name)
Simply put Edgar, this is a forum for planners, and not e-Bay, next question??
