Course Motivation

To begin a business or start managing an established business, a budget must be created for the manager in charge of the company or department. In many ways, a business budget is similar to a personal household budget; in other ways, it is not.

If you are entering into a position as a department manager in a large corporation, there may be corporate politics connected to your new management position that will inevitably affect your departmental budget.

In the corporate world, such things will appear and may become issues in your business budget. Common sense, good public relations, and excellent salesmanship will help you the most when dealing with the politics of such situations. If you are not in the corporate world, and this is for your own business, then you have the personal advantage of being more brutally honest with yourself concerning your business budget. Brutal honesty always benefits the business owner in the long run.
