Budgeting for improvement

Abstract

Reviews the weaknesses in budgetary control, seen often as a costly and burdensome routine, and contends that conventional approaches to cost management emphasise its disadvantages (that it is too inward‐looking, for example), rather than examining its potential benefits. Highlights areas in which budgeting can contribute to the process of continuous improvement.
