Major Effects on Planning for Smithfield Custom Furniture Company The pandemic at a minimum will cause a disruptive effect on the economy. Supply routes will be disrupted, spending will be reduced, and employees will need to cope with the possibility of being sick or having sick family members. This will ultimately influence businesses being shut down to employees having to quarantine as well as nationwide lockdowns in efforts to reduce the spread of disease. Being that this is not something that we normally experience, Smithfield Custom Furniture Company is currently not suited to properly withstand such uncertainty. 1A: Most Significant Planning Action for Company A good plan of action would be to have a companywide conference in efforts to talk about what uncertainties the future may bring. This will serve to mentally prepare your staff as to what to expect, but also to gauge how and if they will be directly affected by the pandemic. Additionally, Smithfield Custom Furniture should be able to conduct and in-depth analysis of how their supply routes might be affected in efforts to curve the overall impact of supply shortages if possible. Failure to conduct proper market and environmental analysis could potentially paralyze the company. References: Lumen Learning. (n.d.). Financial and Nonfinancial Controls | Principles of Management.
