MANAGEMENT PLANNING AND CONTROL

FOUR DIMENSIONS IN MAKING BUSINESS MODEL
Determination of the business model of the big picture, and consists of the implementation, formulation and evaluation of long-term business plan that includes four dimensions of the game are:
  • Identify key factors that are relevant to the company’s progress in the future.
  • Formulate appropriate techniques to predict future developments and analyze the company’s ability to adapt or take advantage of this development.
  • Develop data sources for the selection of strategic support.
  • certain options translated into a series of specific actions.
STANDARD COST DIFFERENCE CONCEPT AND KAIZEN
Determine the standard cost system tries to minimize the variance between budget costs with actual costs. Kaizen Costing stressed to do what is Necessary to Achieve the desired level of performance in a competitive market conditions.
Standard cost concepts:
  • Control costs
  • Applied to the condition of existing manufacturing
  • Purpose: compliance with performance standards
  • Standards are determined each year
  • Analysis of variance based on actual vs. standard
  • Investigate if the standards are not met
The concept of Kaizen Cost:
  • Reduction of costs
  • Applied to continuous improvement in manufacturing
  • purpose: Achieve cost reduction target
  • Target cost reduction is determined each month
  • Analysis of variance based on constant cost reduction
  • Investigate if the target does not cost Achieved
FOREIGN INVESTMENT EXPECTED RETURN
The decision to invest abroad is a very important element in global strategies of multinational corporations. Foreign direct investment involves a large number of general capital and uncertain prospects. Investment risk, followed by an unfamiliar environment, complex and constantly changing. Generally, a formal planning necessity and carried out within the framework of capital budgeting that compares the benefits and costs of the proposed investment.
In the international environment, investment planning is not as simple as that. Differences in tax law, accounting systems, the rate of inflation, the risk of nationalization, currency framework, market segmentation, transfer restrictions retained earnings, and differences in language and culture add to the complexity of the Elements That rarely found in domestic environments. The difficulty for the quantification of these data make-existing problem worse.

CALCULATION OF THE MULTINATIONAL COMPANY CAPITAL COSTS
If foreign investment is evaluated by using a discounted cash flow models, the appropriate discount rate should be developed. The theory of capital budgeting in particular using the cost of capital as the discount rate, Thus Spake the project should generate a profit at least equal to the cost of capital in order to be accepted. The level of the benchmark (hurdle rate) associated with the proportion of debt and equity in the company’s financial structure as follows.
It is not easy to measure the cost of multinational capital. The cost of equity capital can be calculated several ways. One popular method of combining the expectation was the return of dividends by the dividend growth rate expectations. Assuming the per share dividend = estimate at the end of the period. Po = price of the stock market is now at the beginning of the period and g = expected growth rate in dividends, the cost of equity, should be calculated as follows for = many At / Po + g. Although the capital is to measure the stock price is, in most countries where the multinational company’s shares are listed, is often quite difficult to measure in a and g. Since the first expectation. Dividends are expected to depend on the company’s operating cash flow as a whole. Measure of cash flow is complicated by the consideration of environmental factors. Besides the measurement of the dividend growth rate is a function of expectations of future cash flows are complicated by exchange controls and other government restrictions on cross-border transfer of funds.

PROBLEMS IN DESIGNING AND CONTROL SYSTEM HASSLE FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES
Clear distance is a hassle. Caused by geography, formal information communication generally replace the personal contact between the local operations manager with office management.
Three global information technology strategy, each of which is associated with certain types of multinational organizations. Achieved success depends on the suitability of the design of systems with corporate strategy:
  • deployment of low to high centralization. Used by smaller organizations with limited international business operations and information systems need to dominate the domestic
  • high-low spread of centralization. Local subsidiary is given a significant influence on the development of strategies relating to technology and information systems Himself.
  • high with spread of high centralization. Following the global information technology strategy execution locally by global companies with strategic alliances throughout the world. Information system is designed to reflect the needs of the company adapted to local conditions.
Management Accountant to prepare some information for the management of companies, ranging from data collection to reporting estimates of different types of liquidity and operational expenditure. For each group of data submitted by the company management should determine the relevant time period for the report, the level of accuracy required, the frequency of reporting and the costs and benefits of depreciation and timely delivery. Here also the environmental factors that influence the use of information generated translation. Reports from overseas operations of multinational companies are generally translated into U.S. dollar equivalent value of the manager’s office in the U.S. to evaluate their investment in dollars.

VARIANCE ANALYSIS OF EXCHANGE RATE
Three exchange rate to use when Preparing the draft operating budget at the beginning of the period:
  • exchanges where the exchange rate when the budget prepared
  • the exchange rate expected to apply at the end of budget period (projection level)
  • the exchange rate at the end of the period when the budget be adjusted if changes in the exchange rate (closing rate)

HOW TO FIGHT INFLATION AND THE EFFECT ON FLUCTUATIONS  MULTINATIONAL CORPORATE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
For multinational companies, foreign currency fluctuation level of uncertainty resulting from the company’s operations in the international arena. Eye risk management refers to enterprise risk management transactions, economic, and translation. Transaction risk refers to the likelihood that cash transactions in the future will be influenced by changes in exchange rates. Economic risk refers to the possibility that the present value of cash flow company in the future will be influenced by exchange rate fluctuations. One way to overcome problems of economic risk and the risk of the transaction is to hedge (hedging). Swap contracts require the buyer before a certain currency with a certain exchange rate (forward rate) at a predetermined date in the future. In the face translational risk, management can give a report in dollar-denominated and local multinational management can know the true state of the local divisions and the impact of foreign currency translation. Multinational companies use a system of decentralized Because It Gives advantage to the country of origin and distribution of foreign divisions. These advantages include:
  • Local Manager Able to Produce better decisions through the use of local information.
  • Local managers can provide more timely responses to changing circumstances.
  • Manager of the center is not possible to understand all of products and markets.
  • Train and motivate local managers to make decisions daily operations so that top management can focus was more on long-term problems.
Performance measurement in multinational companies should separate the evaluation of a division manager with evaluation of this division. Managers should be evaluated based on revenue and costs incurred. Once the manager is evaluated, a subsidiary of the financial statements can be tailored to the parent company’s currency and the cost can be allocated beyond the control of managers. Environmental factors such as social culture, economic, political, legal, and differ in one country from another country is out of control, but managers will affect company profits and ROI.
