CLIP 1: INTRODUCTION TO BUDGETING (5 mins)
What are budgets? How do they work? In Blakeway Ltd budgeting is vital to their manufacturing plans - but budgets depend on sales forecasts which are notoriously unreliable. Variance analysis is used to track the difference between estimates and reality. Budgets can be used to make staff more accountable and set priorities - but sometimes managers use up current budgets simply for fear of losing their money next year!
CLIP 2: THE BUDGETING MEETING (7 mins)
A manager uses the budget to crack the whip. Against a background of falling sales, company accountant Bee Payne asks her colleagues to account for their spending against their budgets. The systems department hasn't actually overspent - but shouldn't they have spent less with sales falling? And why is the sales and marketing department overspending on its budget? Is there a scope for spending cuts to get the firm back on target?
CLIP 3: THE IMPORTANCE OF BUDGETING: FIRST LUGGAGE (5 mins)
First Luggage makes its money by taking your luggage off your hands and transporting it to wherever you go on holiday or business. It's enjoyed impressive growth - and detailed budgeting, it's claimed, is central to its success. First Luggage's boss explains how they put their budgets together. But budgets are estimates - it's critical to monitor what happens in reality and "tweak" the business accordingly.
CLIP 4: BUDGETING & CASHFLOW FORECASTING: SRA (6 mins)
SRA is a charity which helps people with mental health problems get work experience in its businesses. It uses a combination of budgeting and cash-flow forecasting to control its finances. Being realistic is vital in planning its budgets - allowing for things like inflation and the cost of materials. Business goes up and down, too - so monitoring how well they're actually doing against their forecasts is vital. Adult College

CLIP 1: FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES: INTRODUCTION (7 mins)
To achieve their long-term aims, businesses set themselves objectives - stepping stones to their aims. Manufacturing boss Stephen Maynard's key objective is growth. ROCE - return on capital employed - is a vital calculation. Maynard sets specific financial targets for his business - but they rarely go as planned. Another of his objectives is to keep costs down - but does he sometimes go too far? And how do ethical considerations affect his objectives?
CLIP 2: OBJECTIVES IN CONFICT (7 mins)
What happens when there is conflict over objectives inside a business? Blakeway Ltd's objective is to maximise profits. But is there a conflict between what the shareholders want - short-term profits - and the long-term interests of the business? Meanwhile, in small business Logical Friends, accountant Bee sees controlling spending as a key objective. She also wants to protect their assets - in the shape of the houses the business owns. But MD Harry's key objective is growth and he wants to sell the houses. There is a confrontation and sparks fly.
CLIP 3: FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES AT ACME WHISTLES (6 mins)
When Simon Topman joined British manufacturer Acme Whistles he brought a new, more rigorous approach to its finances. "Everything we do has a financial objective to it," he says, "everything!" Financial objectives come with financial targets - for example they aim to achieve not less than 10% on turnover, 12% on capital employed. Fall below their targets and they take corrective action. But not everything it does is in line with its financial objectives - some things, says Simon, are just "nice to do."
CLIP 4: FINANCIAL STRATEGY (7 mins)
A firm's financial strategy is how it organises its finances to meet its financial objectives. Inevitably a major part of a firm's financial strategy is how it funds itself to meet its objectives. Does it need short-term or long-term finance? Does it opt for external or internal funding? You need to keep costs down on the one hand, but invest on the other. The clip compares and contrasts the financial strategies of the fast-growing Tossed salad bar chain with electronics manufacturer Blakeway Ltd.
CLIP 5: DEPRECIATION (7 mins)
A company buys an expensive piece of machinery - in accounting terms, a fixed asset, but also a cost to the business. The machinery loses value over time and the company's accounts spreads its cost over this period. This is called depreciation. This simple guide explains the two main ways depreciation is calculated - straight line and declining balance depreciation. Adult College

Investment appraisal: Among the most critical decisions companies have to make are investment decisions - whether buying new machinery or taking over another company. This clip examines the different investment appraisal techniques companies use to help them make those decisions. Payback, profit, and opportunity cost are all important factors companies consider - but the figures rarely tell the whole story. Contribution: A business may make a wide range of products. But how does it work out which products are making the biggest (or smallest) contribution to its profits? This process involves calculating variable and fixed costs - and this can be used to work out the contribution of individual shops and departments, too. But in the real world these calculations are never easy.

This film tells the story of a remarkable "green factory" and of a Belgian company called Ecover. Ecover claims it is possible to make a profit and help save the planet. It tries to be sustainable in every aspect of its production. PRODUCTS: Ecover makes washing products - but unlike the big brands they avoid ingredients based on petrochemicals. Producing liquid cleaners involves mixing a variety of raw ingredients in the right amounts - and in the right order. When the bottles are filled and boxed, robots put them onto pallets, ready for wrapping and warehousing. The liquids are pumped about the factory using an air compressor - very energy efficient. THE BUILDING: Ecover claims its factory is the first ecological factory - it even has a "green" roof covered in plants which absorb water and help to prevent flooding. The factory's wastewater is cleaned biologically, using a waste-eating bacteria. Booming sales means the company has a problem: meeting demand. A computer system called Odyssey helps them to keep in stock of the materials they need to meet incoming orders. PLCS & SENSORS: Vital to running Ecover's automated lines are light sensors which detect when a bottle goes past them. They feed this information back to a PLC - a programmable logic controller, in effect the brains of the production line. But operators can intervene using a HMI - a human machine interface. Touch panels allow operators to vary how the factory's robots work, too.

Multinational companies are aggressively marketing cigarettes to young people in developing countries, with tragic social costs. This film explores the case of Indonesia - the third largest market for tobacco products in the world. HUMAN COSTS: "If I'd known I'd get this disease I would have quit a long time ago." Ujang has terminal lung cancer. At 45, he is the victim of a habit, which is killing millions in his country. Targeted by the tobacco industry's relentless, high-powered marketing, Indonesians start young and die young. MARKETING: Most Indonesians don't believe that smoking is bad for their health and the industry shamelessly cashes in on their ignorance. The marketing strategies of cigarette companies play a major role in a massive national habit. Among men, almost 70% light up every day - about 80 million smokers. CORPORATIONS: Pressure groups attack the behaviour of giant tobacco companies like Philip Morris and British American Tobacco as a blatant breach of corporate social responsibility. Internal Philip Morris documents reveal the company's strategy: they want to entice young Indonesians to sample their deadly wares - and get them hooked
