An imposed budgetary approach does not allow input from those who are directly affected by the process. This can tend to make the employees feel that they are unimportant and that management is concerned only with meeting budgetary goals and not necessarily with the well-being of its employees. The employees will probably feel less of a bond with the or-ganization and will feel that they are meeting standards set by others. An imposed budgetary approach is impersonal and can give employees the feeling that goals are set arbitrarily or that some people benefit at the ex-pense of others. Goals that are perceived as belonging to others are less likely to be internalized, increasing the likelihood of dysfunctional behavior. Furthermore, imposed budgets fail to take advantage of the knowledge subordinate managers have of operations and local market conditions.
