It has been argued that firms can address both the opportunity and menace questions of uncertainty through systematic planning which, in turn, help them enhance their performance. Using data from a sample of small firms in New Zealand, this study tries to examine the relationship between environmental uncertainty, planning and performance. The results of the enquiry suggest that small firms do not respond to uncertainty with increased planning. However, when they plan, their performance does record some improvement.
