...Executive Summary Big Apple Executive Training will expand its top-quality professional development and training to include short courses in project management fundamentals, project planning and control, project finance and budgeting, and project risk and quality management. As with other classes and boot camps, the project management courses are designed to help those with little experience in project management gain an intermediate understanding of what it takes to manage a project effectively. Since Big Apple Executive Training has already established a presence in the training market, the marketing plan for a new course rollout will focus on the pricing, promotion and place of our new courses. Although Big Apple Executive Training already offers an extensive line of high quality management training courses and boot camps, it has become apparent that the company is missing an area that is desired by our core customers. Over the next year, Big Apple Executive Training will start offering a new suite of courses that focus on project management.

Target Customers Big Apple Executive Training will focus on the small business and entrepreneur segments for these courses. Although Big Apple Executive Training can handle larger...

Based on this variation, if one may decide to have both certifications, you have the better of the two worlds. Furthermore, there are many differences between CPA’S and CMA’s. Below are some of the differences discussed in paragraphs. CPA, which stands for Certified Public Accountant, is the more popular certification between the two. “It is also the most widely accepted and accredited certification for an accountant”( Harden, G ,2008 ) .
