To conduct a preliminary search for the two most common types of contemporary planning techniques, you can follow these steps:

1. Start by searching for business articles and resources in online databases, such as JSTOR, EBSCO, or ProQuest. These databases usually contain a wide range of academic and professional articles from reputable sources.

2. Use keywords related to planning techniques, such as "contemporary planning techniques," "modern planning methods," or specific technique names if you are already aware of any.

3. Evaluate the credibility and relevance of the articles you find. Look for articles published in reputable journals or written by experts in the field. Read abstracts, introductions, and conclusions to determine if the article addresses the techniques you are looking for.

4. Once you have identified the two most common contemporary planning techniques, compare and contrast them based on their characteristics, benefits, and drawbacks. Look for information on how these techniques impact managers and organizations.

5. To determine which technique aligns best with your workplace, consider factors such as the nature of your organization, its goals, the management style, and the available resources. Look for evidence or case studies that demonstrate successful implementation of the technique in similar work environments.

6. To explain why a particular technique would not work in your workplace, identify specific constraints or challenges that exist in your organization. Again, look for evidence or case studies that demonstrate the limitations of the technique in similar situations.

7. To provide recommendations to your manager for effective decision-making planning, consider the specific context and needs of your workplace. Look for strategies or steps outlined in the articles you found that can help managers plan effectively.

8. Finally, defend your viewpoint by referring to the evidence and arguments presented in the business article collections. Quote relevant studies, statistics, or expert opinions to support your claims and strengthen your viewpoint.

Remember to always cite your sources appropriately and provide references for the articles you have used in your response.
