We are at the last week! In the long run, top-down budgets do not satisfy shareholders as well as those that use a bottom up approach. In the short run, they do maximize returns to shareholders. Having said that, research suggests that if only accounting measures are used, without also measuring other performance against goals, then a bottom-up budgeting process works no better or worse than a top-down approach.

Due Monday
