Budget Estimation of ABC Company Ltd.


ABC Company Ltd., established in 1985, is engaged in the manufacturing of
leather accessories. Over the years, the company, which started out as a local
firm,has made its mark as an international corporation. However, the company is
still working as a traditional set up.
The high quality and durability of products have increased the demand of the products
in the market. As the production of the organisation is being increased to meet the
demand, the traditional set up is creating hurdles in the production process.
Organisation conflicts have arisen among the team members because of the
unorganised hierarchical structure of the company, which is affecting the output of
the organisation. Now that the management has decided to expand the business and
opened up branches abroad, the company is facing two more problems. The first
problem is in budgeting as the company is unfamiliar with international market
conditions, strategy, and business policy while the second problem is conflicts at
the

time of team formation due to lack of experience of and exposure to multinational


work culture, which has further affected the output of the company.
The company can estimate the budget through two methods, the bottom - up
approach and the top - down approach. The bottom -up approach is generally
followed by the MNCs as it is more accurate and reliable.
Mr.Parag has been appointed as the country head of the company and he has
also been assigned the responsibility of incorporating the advanced project set up
in the organisation.
