Abstract: Environmental uncertainty is unavoidable. Business organisations, hence, have to develop ways and means to cultivate the opportunities and contain the men ace that resultfrom uncertainty. It has been argued that firms can address both the opportunity and menace questions of uncertainty through systematic plan ning 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 relation ship between environmental uncertainty, planning and performance. The re sults 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.
