When did business life first met business planning?

[kitson]

I would like to know what is the history of business plan/planning.
When did it start to be applied in the business life? Was it 1940s?
I would really appreciate some sources, if you answer this question.

I don't understand the question. Are you asking when someone first thought to write down their idea so they could share it with someone else or prove to themselves it would work?

I would guess you'd find hunting plans etched on caves

As posted above. Planning is something that is inherrent in higher functioning life forms.
