This book examines budgeting by analyzing the local government
budget as a complex system, thus adding a new dimension to
traditional budget textbooks. It is designed to complement existing
texts—not replace—by putting the budget in a complex system,
general equilibrium framework. A complex systems framework adds to
conventional budget analysis in at least four ways: It looks at the
budget as the result of many variables that are outside the finance
department’s purview; it understands that there are multiple
interdependences among these variables; it suggests analysis of
non-obvious relationships among actions in the budget process in
order to optimize results; and it argues that the actors in the
process must understand that their budgetary behaviors have
indirect and far-reaching implications that go beyond the budget
document. Â This book also uses concepts seldom discussed in
the budgetary literature—that of governance, including concepts
of the facilitative state, with adjustments for exogenous shocks;
the forms of decision making; and the political climate of the
jurisdiction. This framework notes methods of success of
firms in the private sector that operate in environments of rapid
technological change. While becoming a popular theoretical
framework for how private sector firms change, dynamic capability
analysis has received little attention in the public management
field. This book utilizes DC since public sector organizations also
face rapidly changing environments. Lastly, the book discusses the
potential relationship between the local budget and local community
welfare maximization.
