b)The main reasons are probably management's lack of understanding of these techniques and the costs associated with hiring an outside consultant who is familiar with them. Additional reasons include a lack of the knowledge and staff needed to properly analyze investment opportunities.
c)Planning, however, tends to be an activity from which the small businessman can see no obvious or direct effect on his profits; therefore, it is often given a low priority.
