A recurring theme of this module has been the value of data to analysis and decision-making. You have utilised various types of data while conducting several analyses in the Individual Assignments Submission submitted in Units 2-5.
In this final unit, you will synthesise what you have learned about financial and performance management throughout the module. Recall the words from Anthony’s Orchard CEO Bob Frost in Unit 2:
We are excited about our future, and have aggressive plans for it. Among these plans is expansion into a new product line. We hope to be producing and distributing Anthony’s Orchard apple juice within the next 3 to 5 years.
As your Final Project for this module, you will create a consultancy report that will provide guidance and insight to company management regarding this decision. Relying on the work done in previous Individual Assignments Submission, you will make a recommendation to the company regarding the plan to expand the product line and make a significant investment in an apple press required for that expansion.
