Types of Plans - Contingency

Another important element of an effective planning system is contingency plans.

Contingency planning is the development of alternative courses of action to be
taken if an intended plan is unexpectedly disrupted or rendered inappropriate.
For example, suppose a rapidly expanding franchise food company has made
plans to build 100 new units during each of the next four years.
Its top managers realize, however, that a shift in the economy might call for a
different rate of expansion.
Therefore, the firm develops two contingency plans;
(1) if the economy begins to expand beyond some specific level (contingency
event), then (contingency plan) the rate of the company’s growth will
increase from 100 to 150 new store per year;
(2) if inflation increases substantially, the expansion rate will drop from 100 to
75 new stores per year. The organization has now specified two crucial
contingencies (expansion or inflation in the economy outside the expected
range) and two alternative plans (increased or decreased growth).
