Zero-based budgeting: implications for social services?
Abstract
It is now fact that there is a commitment to the implementation of zero-based budgeting (ZBB) at the federal level. In all likelihood, the adoption of the zero-based approach will have unique implications for the administration and administrators of social service agencies. The impetus behind budgetary reform is explored, with a primary focus on the current appeal of ZBB. It is strongly suggested that similarities exist between the now passe planning-programming-budgeting system and ZBB that permit inferences about any implementation difficulties ZBB may experience. It is further suggested that ZBB will present social workers with situations and opportunities that will severely challenge many on their current approaches to social service administration.
