The first step of management functions is planning. It is the starting point of a process. It asks what needs to be done and how it should be done in order to achieve business objectives. The planning phase also defines the goals, policies, programs and procedures for program implementation for the company or individual departments. Planning is also considered a primary function. This phase is designed to avoid errors as far as possible, as they can affect all other management functions.

Abstract
The pharmaceutical market is in a constant state of dynamism. There have been many changes in the market recently, and the business environment has changed, one of the most important factors driving the market being consumer behaviour and habits. Trends towards a healthier lifestyle are reflected in changes in purchasing behaviour, with the consumption of dietary supplements becoming increasingly popular. Within the pharmaceutical supply chain, the analysis focuses on pharmacies. The aim of the study is to describe the market changes affecting pharmacy retailing, in particular the effects of changing consumer habits and more conscious purchasing and the impact of the strong presence of players outside the supply chain on pharmacy turnover.
