Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores how the US Geological Survey (USGS), an agency within the Department of the Interior, grapples with the challenges of implementing a new budgeting system directive issued by President Johnson in 1965. The directive required agencies to adopt a new 'Planning-Programming-Budgeting System' (PPBS), which aimed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of federal spending. Prior to the directive, the USGS lacked well-defined objectives and had limited experience with economic analysis. As such, the implementation of PPBS posed significant challenges for the agency. The author examines specific programs within the USGS, including regional mapping, engineering mapping, and geologic hazards research, to illustrate the difficulties in identifying program outputs and measuring their value. Despite these challenges, the book argues that PPBS has the potential to improve the USGS's decision-making process by requiring more explicit definitions of objectives, the development of alternative plans, and a systematic comparison of costs and benefits. By providing a detailed account of the USGS's experience with PPBS, the author hopes to inform and assist other agencies facing similar challenges in implementing this new budgeting system.
