Question

Sales this year at Donna's Pawn Shop have been high, and based on several factors, Donna projects next year's sales to also be good. However, even with her forecast of continued strong sales, Donna and her business partner need to develop a plan in case sales drop unexpectedly. ________ is the type of planning for alternative future conditions.

Answer 1

Answer: Contingency planning

Explanation: In simple words, it refers to the planning for an upcoming event that may or may not occur in the future. This planning is usually done by organisation so that they can act accordingly if any problem in business operations occurs in future.

In the given case, even after having positive forecast, Donna is planning for future uncertainty such as unexpected stoppage on sales.

Thus we can conclude that this is the type of contingency planning.
