Scenario planning: this is when managers produce different possible situations that the business may be operating in the future - they create two or three possible scenarios which describe how an industry might look in the future.
Contingency planning: this is when managers plan for possible unfavourable situations, by anticipating and planning for what might happen - it allows the business to have backup plans, which can help a business respond quickly and effectively. However, managers can’t plan for every unfavourable situation - and must decide on what are the most important contingencies to plan for.
