Exercise 1-9) Zoya Arbiser, regional manager of Gold Medal Sports Shops, is
reviewing the results of 15 stores in her region. Store managers are moved
annually. Each store manager's income is very dependent on the direct
contribution margin of that store. For the past year, Store 9 has been managed by a

to be promoted to a larger store. Zoya notices several items that bother her.
Store 9 has almost no personnel training expenses relative to other stores.
Store 9 has stopped participating in numerous community events that gave the
store significant visibility but did incur substantial expenses.
Store 6, where this store manager worked the prior year, has had a severe drop in
profits due to higher operating expenses.
The advertising budget was spent almost entirely in the first four months of the
year, with almost nothing spent in the last several months.
Discuss a possible negative managerial scenario that the regional manager may be

support your opinion with at least one scholarly resource. Include in your response
an explanation of the major purposes of budgeting. Your initial post should be

"One major criticism of budgeting is that it is used as a „cost reduction‟ tool rather
than a „cost control‟ tool. The objective of the budget is to control costs at an
efficient level of operation."

developing the budget: (1) Employees tend to accept the budget as their own plan
of action. (2) Participation tends to increase morale among employees and toward
management. (3) Employee cohesiveness is increased, and productivity will also
increase if dictated by the group norm."
"Even though budgets are quantitative tools, considerable emotion is connected to
budgeting. The individual in control often sees the budget as a means of getting
things done. People being controlled often have feelings of anxiety because their
success and promotion are tied directly to the budget."
