Reflection on the Promises and Perils of Performance-based Budgeting :
Please finish the required readings and then write a reflection paper base on the readings (see readings from attached files)
____________________________________________
Allan Schick’s paper, The Road to PPB,” describes the evolution of budgeting from a system characterized by control to one focused on management and administration to one focused on goals, policies, and programmatic outcomes. The tone of this piece is hopeful that these developments will be positive — I will point to this quote: “the very availability of analytic data will cause a shift in the balance of economic and political forces that go into the making of a budget.”
Based on the readings, please write a 400–500-word reflection that addresses the following questions:
What would you characterize as the promise of budgeting decisions based on outcomes or performance – that is, what are people hoping to get out of it?
What are some of the ways people have tried to better integrate data and performance measurement into the budgeting system?
And finally, where does it go wrong? What are some of the pitfalls?
