Simply
defined, cash flow is the movement of funds in and out of a
business,
while cash flow management focuses on the timing
of moving
funds.
There
are a variety of methods for funding projects, ranging from
internal
sources (the project is part of the corporate budget) to external
means
(use of government ‘‘seed’’ money or direct investment).
The
term cash flow is used to describe the net
difference, at any point in
time,
between income (revenue) and project expenditures; negative cash
flow
is outgoing, while positive cash flow is income.
With
major projects, where development costs are enormous, the
investment
decision is based on the anticipated number of sales and
the
period over which the product will be sold.
