PLANNING, CORPORATE

all-inclusive long-range planning involving the whole company. Corporate planning attempts to project what future economic conditions will be, what products will be in demand then and what changes would have to be made over a period of time to meet future demands and conditions. Often corporate planning will result in a company setting up a pilot or research project or even expanding the scope of such, already existing, in order to stay in touch with future demands and conditions and test new ideas.
