Budgeting at CM Tech

/in /by

In completing your reading for the week you learned about the benefits and challenges faced in the budgeting process.  You also learning about the importance of focusing organizational efforts on customers.  Chapter 22 introduced you to the many types of budgets, their importance, and the many ways that an organization can go about messing up the budgeting process.   In Chapters 24 and 25 we learned about the benefits of focusing our efforts on the customer.

You and Emma have already spent a good deal of time focusing on and discussing the accounting department at CM Tech.  Now it’s time to broaden the focus of your efforts.  Emma asks you for your thoughts on the budgets at CM Tech and how the team can integrate the concept of customer focus into the budgeting process.  Emma asks you to do some research for her.

Your research paper for Emma should include the following key elements: 

  1. What are the key problems that CM Tech could run into throughout the budgeting process that could reduce the effectiveness of their budget? 
  2. What should be done throughout the budgeting process to ensure the budget is tied to the organization’s strategies?  Why is this important?
  3. How can CM Tech include a solid customer focus throughout the budgeting process?  What benefits could be derived from ensuring the customer remains a key element of focus even during an internal process like budgeting?  Be sure to fully support your assertions in all three sections with reasoning, examples, and research.  

Your report should outline the key concepts in each area listed above and provide examples as appropriate.  Be sure your report is a minimum of 4 pages, includes an introduction and conclusion paragraph, title page, and references page.  The title and references pages do not count toward the total page count.

Background:
Pay for Performance in America’s public schools is an extremely controversial issue. Although the process has made inroads in business and is a means to help determine promotions, pay, and retention, pay for performance has not been consistently well received in the public school systems. There are some successful examples where teacher pay has been linked to student test scores. In Minnesota, for example, some districts have stopped giving automatic raises for seniority and base 60% of all pay increases on employee performance. In Denver, unions and school districts designed an incentive program where teachers receive bonuses for student achievement and for earning national teaching certificates.

On the other hand, some plans have not worked. For example, Cincinnati teachers voted against a merit pay proposal and Philadelphia teachers gave their bonus checks to charity rather than cashing them. It appears that having teachers involved in planning the incentive system is one key factor to success. The same can be said for all incentive plans – if employees do not buy into them, they will not work.

Assignment:

You have been asked by the organization’s senior leadership to explore the practicality of implementing such a program for your organization.

Questions to Research:

  1. How could an organization measure the effectiveness of their pay-for-performance plans?
  2. From an employee’s perspective, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a pay-for-performance plan? 
  3. From an employer’s perspective, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a pay-for-performance plan?

The course objectives addressed by this assignment are as follows:

  • Explain the various classifications of rewards.
  • Describe competency-based compensation programs.
  • Describe relative standards in the performance management system.
  • Discuss ethical issues in HRM

What Good Is Budgeting Anyway?

/in /by

In our Week 5 reading we are introduced to the many elements of budgeting.  Not all budgeting processes work well but the process, in general certainly has value.  You and Emma began discussing the role of accounting in performance management last week.  This week you are continuing your conversation and narrowing the focus to accounting and their role in the budgeting process.  This morning Emma asked you what you think the benefits of budgets are at CM Tech and how accounting can play a role in maximizing the benefits derived from an effective budget process.  

  • In your initial discussion post share with your classmates what you feel are the most important benefits of an effective budgeting process and how the accounting department plays a role in making the budget process effective rather than destructive or inefficient.  In your responses to your peers expand on your agreement or disagreement with the most important reasons they have shared and suggest additional actions the accounting department can take to support the efforts.
  • Support your initial post with at least one scholarly reference.
