Planning is the way most organizations work to do big projects. It is thinking about what needs to happen, and then making a detailed plan. It may include a schedule. All humans plan to some extent: it is a fundamental property of intelligent behaviour. In big organisations and government planning is a main activity. It combines forecasting developments with scenarios of how to react to them. Forecasting is predicting what the future will look like, whereas planning predicts what the future "should" look like. The "nuts and bolts" of planning are the documents, diagrams, and meetings, the objectives and the strategy to be followed.

Gradualism is one of the defining features of political liberalism and reformism. It is against abrupt strokes such as revolutions or uprisings. Instead, change ought to be brought about in small discrete steps. Martin Luther King, Jr., was opposed to the idea of gradualism as a method of eliminating racial segregation.

In economics, the word competition means that there are at least two competitors (¨players¨) who want to get a share of a market. The market is divided between all the economic players; this means that if a player gets a higher market share, another player will get a smaller share of the market. In his work, The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith says that all players uses the resources they have so that they will get the most profit from these resources. According to Smith, this encourages efficiency.  Game theory looks at competition, from a mathematical point of view. Limiting competition.

The state may also apply taxes or pay subsidies as a way to protect its own economy. Other factors that limit competition include the existence of cartels.
