Abstract
Any planner who tries to begin the planning process in a company speedily runs into negative attitudes, excuses, and foot dragging. This problem is so prevalent that one of the major tasks of a corporate planner is to understand this resistance and to find successful countermeasures. These countermeasures require planning knowledge, courage, a knowledge of psychology, and last but certainly not least, the ability to win top management support.
