There appear to be four reasons why companies in the industry should urgently reassess their attitude towards the practice of strategic planning: 1. The present openness amongst authorities in accepting new and innovative building materials.2. The change in Government policy towards housing urban blacks.3. The increased concentration and sophistication of customer groupings.4. The demise of price control over building materials.These developments are believed to be changing the traditional rules of the game, making the industry far more competitive. Formalised strategic planning might have been a luxury in the past. It is, however, an imperative for the future.","PeriodicalId":126195,"journal":{"name":"The Investment Analysts Journal","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127791999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless it seemed that an investigation could with advantage be carried out on the basis of South African conditions, to establish whether any different result would emerge here.This paper sets out the results of such an investigation. They point to the same general conclusions as those arrived at overseas, but in the process certain pertinent questions arise.","PeriodicalId":126195,"journal":{"name":"The Investment Analysts Journal","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128110826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
