'course reaction'?

Hi,

Please have a look at this:

In good times, most companies have operated with anual targets and have measured progress towards those targets on a quaterly basis. In turbulent times, you'll have to work within a much shorter time horizon, demonstrating flexibility and agility by setting targets on a quarterly, monthly or even weekly basis. Even when you set those targets, be prepared to make course reactions as circumstances change.

What does the word 'course' mean here?

Thank you very much,

Nessie.
