Shops, is reviewing the results of 15 stores in her region. Store
managers are moved annually. Each store manager's income is very

other profitable stores in recent years and is about 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.

the comment and 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 200-250 words.
"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."
"There are generally three benefits from allowing employees to
participate in 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."
