The cost-benefit approach is the criterion that assists managers in deciding whether, say, to install a proposed budgeting system instead of continuing to use an existing historical system. In making this decision senior managers consider two simultaneous missions: one technical and one behavioral. The technical considerations help managers make wise economic decisions by providing them with the desired information(for example, costs in various value- chain categories) in appropriate format(such as actual results versus budgeted amounts) and at the preferred frequency. Now consider the human (the behavioral) side of why budgeaing is used. Budgets induce different set of decisions within an organization because of better collaboration, planning, and motivation. The behavioral considerations encourage managers and other employees to strive for achieving the goals of the organization.
