Used to ask 'what' about a noun; it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies.
piani (plural noun)
Means 'plans'; plural because multiple initiatives are expected.
ha (present of avere)
Third‑person singular of 'avere' used because the subject 'l'azienda' is singular.
l'azienda (definite article + noun)
The article contracts with the vowel‑initial noun; 'azienda' means 'company' or 'business'.

Use 'ha' (singular) because 'l'azienda' is singular; 'hanno' would be for a plural subject.
Che piano ha l'azienda per il prossimo anno?
If you use the singular 'piano', it sounds like you expect only one plan; the plural 'piani' is more natural when asking about overall strategy.

Cultural Tip
In Italian business culture, it is common to ask about future plans directly, but always pair the question with a polite opening (e.g., 'Mi scusi' or 'Vorrei sapere') if the setting is very formal. Also, Italians appreciate concrete details, so be ready to discuss specific initiatives after the question is asked.
