The program budget in operation

Melvin Anshen

ResearchPublished 1965

This Memorandum examines some of the implications of the operation of the program budget for organizations and individuals whose work would be affected by it. It considers the potential contributions of the process to more realistic planning, issues to be resolved if a program budget structure is put into operation within the existing federal organizational structure, the need for expanding and strengthening analytical activities at various levels, the possible impact on planning and budgeting at state and local government levels, and the implications for private management and economic research activities. (Chap. 12 in D. Novick (ed.), Program Budgeting, Harvard University Press, 1965.)
