The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.
Find Web resources that investigate the inherent differences between a company's strategic plan and the financial policy of that same company. Use what you have learned to discuss the following:
- Purpose of the strategic plan
- Scope and objectives of the strategic plan
- Operating plans
- Steps of the financial planning process
- Sales forecasts
- Forecasting
Include some examples from your resources to enhance the discussion.
