A new edition, The Business Planning Pocketbook explains what issues to address, how to write a business plan, what questions to ask, how much detail to include and the time- frame to adopt. In the chapter on planning theory the author identifies eight different planning styles, followed in the next chapter with a description of the seven stages of the planning process. In his summary the author says: 'A plan is a statement of what you intend to achieve, how, when and with what resources'. A complex subject made simple.
