This sense of uncertainty surrounds everything we do in life. We do not know if we will pass an exam, if we will succeed in the job interview. If we will gain promotion and so. In a business sense uncertainty is no less important.
Almost everything the businessman does he does in an uncertain environment. If he invests in new machinery, will the output be what is expected? Will the employees be prepared to work with it? What is the delivery of parts situation? If he launches a new product will it sell as expected? Will a new bonus scheme for employees, avoid a threatened strike? If he builds a new factory will it be burnt Dow Will thieves steal his finished products from the warehouse?
In a few cases he knows, with certainty, what the future holds. He knows that if he reduces the number of machines used, his fuel bill will come down. If he employs four new people, he knows that his payroll will increase. Most of his activities, however, still involve him in venturing forward in this atmosphere of uncertainty.
It is valuable that we recognize, at this early stage the omnipresent nature of uncertainty and that, faced with uncertainty of life,both personal and business continuea day by day.
