This course consists of three modules from the GC21 Management Academy: Business Planning,
Financial Planning, Corporate Finance and Fundraising. These Web based Trainings are supported by experienced tutors and make use of all communication tools provided by the Global Campus 21©. Business planning can be usefully done by means of a Business Plan. For-profit business plans typically focus on financial goals. Non-profit and government agency business plans tend to focus on service goals. Business plans may also target changes in perception and branding by the customer, client, taxpayer, or larger community. A business plan having changes in perception and branding as its primary goals is called a marketing plan. All these different types and aspects are discussed in the first part of the course using practical examples and according to participants needs.
Financial Planning is a structured approach to strategic financial issues such as how the corporation should analyze and manage its capital. It deals with the analysis which investments the company should do and what portion of profits should be invested. Instruments and categories of Financial Planning are introduced in the second part of the course.
The third part of the course based on the module Corporate Finance and Fundraising addresses typical questions, which small and medium sized companies al well as other organizations typically face, such as “How can I decide whether I do an investment or not?”, “How can I take into account the factor of the interest rate to plan future investments?” or “What are instruments for Fundraising and how can they be optimized?”
