Description
It is critical to effective organizational planning that close linkages are developed to coordinate the budget development process with the strategic planning process in higher education. Currently, in most settings, annual budgets and multiyear strategic plans have not been effectively intertwined. The key difficulty is the long-term focus of strategic planning and the short-term focus of operating budgets (Meisinger, 1994). To correct this problem of differential time horizons, new models of budgeting are needed to link operating budgets more directly to the organization's long-term strategic plan. More specifically, a new strategic budget planning process model is required. Theory building and pedagogy in multiyear operating budget processes is also needed.
