Even though it was considered to be predictable and stable, it is now considered as unpredictable, and unstable that could vary in any time. The Business cycle will guide the businesses, industries, and companies to act in a specific way, depending in which of the 4 phases the business cycle is. Since business cycle could be on the peak and then turn to be in recession, or it could be in recession and change to recovery, it will make each manager to determine what decision will lead their business in the market.
