This book is written for managers who have had four or five years of experience with long-range planning--managers who have had firsthand experience with the benefits it can bring and with the stumbles and hang-ups to which all planning processes are heir. It is a sequel to, not a revision of, the earlier book, so it will not repeat any of the basic techniques previously described. You are cordially invited to get a copy of the first book if you want to start from scratch.
