Since the 1920s, budget management has
always played a central role irreplaceable in
corporate management. After the mid-1980s, the
environmental changes that many companies
experienced have already shaken the foundation and
prerequisites for the operation of traditional budget
management, the deficiency of traditional budget
management gradually emerges, especially the
incoordination between budget and strategy which
brings a direct consequence: corporate strategy can
not be truly implemented. One study shows that
60% of organizations do not link budgets to
strategy. More than half of the surveyed enterprises
show: its budget and performance evaluation
process is operated completely independent from its
strategic planning process. This paper proposes a
corporate strategy based budget management
framework which is structured on the Balanced
Scorecard as well as some advanced ideas from
operating budget. A strategy based budget
management model can provide an effective system
of strategic management and control methods,
which will help the company use strategic tools to
obtain future competitive advantage. With no doubt
it is of great significance for the truly
implementation of corporate strategy and the
budget.
