Workshop on Finance for Non- Finance managers

12 January 2011 The Lalit, New Delhi
21 January 2011 The Lalit, Mumbai

Objective:
It is often said “Non Finance Managers become good managers only with clear understanding of business financials”. Indeed, as all actions of business on products, markets and strategies ultimately boil down to financials, developing basic understanding on financial aspects of business does create competitive advantage for Non Finance Managers, Entrepreneurs and Decision Makers.

Some of the questions, we see Non Finance Managers, Entrepreneurs and Decision Makers asking continuously are:
* What are the various sources of funds for business (long term and/or short term) along with their competitive advantages and disadvantages.
* How do public and private sources of funds differ from business point of view.
* How to analyze business performance and also carry out comparison with peers in the industry.
* How do corporate actions like dividend, bonus, split etc. add value to business.
* What is the value of business and how to enhance this further.

Answers to all these questions are highly subjective and are the function of nature of businesses. However, if one develops the fundamental understanding on the subject that helps asking right questions and leading to appropriate answers.

Precise objective of this programme would be to address this need of market participants in most simplistic manner. Programme would attempt to answer all the above questions from the perspective of non-finance executives.
