After reading Morrisey's guides on Strategic planning and long term planning, I was wondering how good he would be on short term, tactical planning. This one is probably the best of the books. It has excellent advice on tactical planning and setting short term goals. It is a bit longer than the other two, but still comes in at less than 100 pages, including many exhibits and other pages with no reading text. Although I read this one last in the trilogy, I would recommend that the reader start with this book and move on to the long term and strategic planning volumes later. But I would highly recommend all three volumes to business planners, despite the fact that they were written almost 25 years ago.
