Samenvatting FPM
1. General framework

The framework of the FPM course is inspired by a fascination for the role and effects of time
in (the management of) individuals, projects and prganizations
Dimensions of time
 Objective: linear, natural, continuous
 Subjective: cyclical, socially constructed, local
 Temporal embeddedness (time-oriented markers used to demarcate and organize
activities): chronological pacing, event-based pacing, entrainment-based pacing
 Shadow of future
 Shadow of past
Time elements are common in the FPM course.

2. Temporary systems (in business and science)
= a collaborative enterprise, frequently involving research or design, that is carefully
planned to achieve a particular aim/ they can be further defined as temporary rather than
permanent social systems that are constituted by teams (people/organizations) within or
across organizations to accomplish particular tasks under time constraints.
 Intra-organizational: project, project-based organization
 Inter-organizational: IO temporary organizations

Types of temporary systems

, 2.1 Project-based organization (PBO)
= an independent organizational form in which the project is the primary unit for production
organization, innovation, and competition.
Project: any activity with a defined set of resources, goals, and time limit

Rechtsonder: project-based organization

,Characteristics PBO
 Appropriate for complex, non-routine tasks
 Help to adapt to uncertain, risky and changing environments
 Populated by integrators (of commercial and technical) and brokers (external
clients)
 Well-suited for innovation and learning, coping with emerging properties and
demands from clients
 Ill-suited for coordination of resources and capabilities across projects, routine
production activities, achieving economies of scale

Inter-organizational temporary organization (IOTO)
= temporary inter-organizational systems of legally autonomous but functionally
interdependent firms that interact to coordinate their efforts for the accomplishment of a
joint outcome in a limited amount of time (which is defined in advance)
Bijvoorbeeld, construction projects, movie productions, Olympic games.

IOTO, PBO’s and learning / knowledge transfer. Problems?
On the one hand, the IOTO/PBO is:
 An intrinsically innovative form: (re)creates new organizational structures around
new task/customer
 Able to cope with emerging demands in a flexible way
 Effective way to integrate different types of knowledge
But on the other hand, the IOTO/PBO is:
 Weak in achieving economies of scale
 Weak in coordinating cross-project resources
 Weak in facilitating organization-wide technological innovation and learning.

3. Financial management
Is concerned with the economic activities within the production organization.

Finance
= Selection of assets (production resources) in which intestments are to be made, and how
those assets should be financed.
Asset: anything tangible of intangible that is held to have positive economic value

Management accounting (MA)
= provision of financial information to the management with the purpose to support this
management (internal reporting)
 MA assists in getting an overview of the costs involved in running the transformation
process and determine selling prices
 MA assists in monitoring whether or not the business is performing according to
expectations and where interventions are needed

Financial accounting (FA)
= disclosure of information by an organization’s management to other stakeholders
(external reporting)

,  Stakeholders include shareholders, employees, providers of credit, governments
 Like MA, FA has a decision-supporting focus: a bank, for instance, uses this
information to assess if providing the credit requested is safe
 FA also serves an accountability purpose: stakeholders use the figures presented to
judge the management’s policy over the past year

Differences MA and FA

Financial statements
Aggregated overviews of:
 The assets invested in and the way those assets are financed at a given point over
time (finance)  summarized by the balance sheet
 Costs and revenues generated by the production organization in a certain time
frame (accounting)  summarized by the profit and loss account
Not only an overview of the consequences of past Finance & Accounting decisions, but also
informs future F&A decisions.

Balance sheet: value of assets invested in and how those assets have been financed
Profit & loss account: comparison of revenue and costs in a certain period

Balance sheet

,Profit & loss account

Provisions
Provisions are made against possible future liabilities, which may occur as a result of
operations in the past (bijv. lawsuits, warranties, doubtful costs).
In making a provision, estimated costs are included in the profit & loss account before any
payment is made.

4. Financial statement analysis
4.1 Profitability ratios
= Relationship between profit and capital

Return on assets (ROA)
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) / Total assets
Return on equity (ROE)
Net profit after tax / shareholders’ equity
Return on equity pre tax (ROE pt)

,Net pre-tax profit / shareholders’ equity
Average cost of debt (ACD)
Interest / total debt
Voorbeeld

Financial leverage

(ROA – ACD) * (Debt / equity)

4.2 Solvency ratios
= A company’s ability to meet its financial obligations in the event of liquidation.

,Debt ratio
Debt / total assets
Other financial leverage ratios
 Equity / total assets
 Debt / equity
Interest coverage ratio
Is an indicator of financial resilience.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) / interest

4.3 Liquidity ratios
= A company’s ability to meet its short-term financial obligations.

Static liquidity

Net working capital
Current assets – current liabilities
Current ratio
Current assets / current liabilities
Quick ratio (acid test ratio)
(Current assets – inventory) / current liabilities

Voorbeeld

4.4 Capital budgeting project
= Sum of total investments in interrelated fixed and current assets.
Assessed based on CASHFLOWS.
Receipts – expenditure  revenues – expenses

Cash flow
= the excess of gross revenu from the sale of products over expenditure related to the
purchasing and use of assets during a certain period (receivables minus expenditures)

,  In other w0rds, cash flow is the excess of cash revenu over cash expenditure during
the life of a project
 Main difference between accounting income and cash flow is depreciation

Cash flow = accounting income + depreciation

Calculating cash flow

Assessment of capital budgeting projects

1) On the basis of profitability  Average book rate of return (ABR)
Average annual profit / average invested capital
Disadvantage: ignores the time value of money

2) Assessment on the basis of cash flow  pay back period
The time it takes a project to recover its initial investment from the cumulative cash flow.
