This thesis analyzes the role of economic-financial planning as a fundamental tool for guiding strategic business decisions and preventing situations of imbalance. The work takes an experimental approach as theoretical planning models are applied to a real business case, with the aim of verifying the consistency between forecast results and data that actually emerged in the financial statement of the subsequent year. The research develops through the use of two different forecasting models. In the first scenario, it is assumed that the financial leverage remains constant, implying that growth is accompanied by a proportional increase in debt. In the second scenario, an external financial need of zero is assumed for year x+1, requiring that business development be financed exclusively through self-financing. The practical application of these models to the business case allows for the construction of forecast financial statements and the estimation of prospective financial needs. The results obtained are then compared with actual data, in order to assess the reliability of the planning tools and understand any deviations between forecasts and reality. The analysis highlights how planning is not just a theoretical exercise, but an essential operational tool to support growth decisions, manage financial risk, and maintain the business balance over time. The comparison between models and real data confirms the importance of conscious and structured planning, capable of guiding decisions in alignment with available resources and the strategic goals of the company.
La presente tesi analizza il ruolo della pianificazione economico-finanziaria come strumento fondamentale per guidare le decisioni strategiche d’impresa e prevenire situazioni di squilibrio. L’elaborato assume carattere sperimentale in quanto i modelli teorici di pianificazione vengono applicati a un caso aziendale reale, con l’obiettivo di verificare la coerenza tra risultati previsionali e dati effettivamente emersi a bilancio nell’esercizio successivo. La ricerca si sviluppa attraverso l’utilizzo di due differenti modelli previsionali. Nel primo scenario si ipotizza il mantenimento costante della leva finanziaria, assumendo quindi una crescita accompagnata da un incremento proporzionale dell’indebitamento. Nel secondo scenario si assume invece un fabbisogno finanziario esterno pari a zero nell’anno x+1, imponendo che lo sviluppo aziendale sia finanziato esclusivamente tramite autofinanziamento. L’applicazione concreta dei modelli al caso aziendale permette di costruire bilanci previsionali e di stimare il fabbisogno finanziario prospettico. I risultati ottenuti vengono poi confrontati con i dati consuntivi, al fine di valutare l’attendibilità degli strumenti di pianificazione e di comprendere eventuali scostamenti tra previsioni e realtà. L’analisi evidenzia come la pianificazione non rappresenti solo un esercizio teorico, ma uno strumento operativo essenziale per supportare le scelte di crescita, gestire il rischio finanziario e mantenere l’equilibrio aziendale nel tempo. Il confronto tra modelli e dati reali conferma l’importanza di una programmazione consapevole e strutturata, capace di orientare le decisioni in modo coerente con le risorse disponibili e con gli obiettivi strategici dell’impresa.

Abstract
This thesis analyzes the role of economic-financial planning as a fundamental tool for guiding strategic business decisions and preventing situations of imbalance. The work takes an experimental approach as theoretical planning models are applied to a real business case, with the aim of verifying the consistency between forecast results and data that actually emerged in the financial statement of the subsequent year. The research develops through the use of two different forecasting models. In the first scenario, it is assumed that the financial leverage remains constant, implying that growth is accompanied by a proportional increase in debt. In the second scenario, an external financial need of zero is assumed for year x+1, requiring that business development be financed exclusively through self-financing. The practical application of these models to the business case allows for the construction of forecast financial statements and the estimation of prospective financial needs. The results obtained are then compared with actual data, in order to assess the reliability of the planning tools and understand any deviations between forecasts and reality. The analysis highlights how planning is not just a theoretical exercise, but an essential operational tool to support growth decisions, manage financial risk, and maintain the business balance over time. The comparison between models and real data confirms the importance of conscious and structured planning, capable of guiding decisions in alignment with available resources and the strategic goals of the company.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
