Sinopsis
Excerpt from A Planning Programming Budgeting System: The United States Geological Survey
In the three years that have elapsed since the Presidential directive, the Geological Survey hasnnotsxflyed the very real problems involved in implementing ppbs. Its most difficult problem has been the identification of output, and the measurement of that output's value to the users. Without estimates of the demands for the information produced by the Survey, calculation of benefits from the present activities of the Survey and economic comparison of these with alternative activities has been Virtually impossible. First attempts have to be made to solve this problem, if only to indicate in detail what is not known. These attempts are made here.

Excerpt from A Planning Programming Budgeting System: The United States Geological Survey
In August, 1965 President Johnson directed the heads of Federal agencies to implement a new Planning-Programming-Budgeting System (PPBS) throughout the Executive branch of the Government. As an agency in the Department of the Interior, the United States Geological Survey was required to respond to this directive but, like many other Executive agencies, was ill-equipped to carry out such implementation. The Survey was handicapped by the lack of well-defined objectives which could be readily translated into plans amenable to Planning Programming analysis. The agency was staffed, as well, by professional geologists and scientists without experience in economics, quantitative analysis, or the related disciplines needed for installing systems analysis.
In the three years that have elapsed since the Presidential directive, the Geological Survey has not solved the very real problems involved in implementing PPBS. Its most difficult problem has been the identification of output, and the measurement of that outputs value to the users. Without estimates of the demands for the information produced by the Survey, calculation of benefits from the present activities of the Survey and economic comparison of these with alternative activities has been virtually impossible. First attempts have to be made to solve this problem, if only to indicate in detail what is not known. These attempts are made here.
The essay begins with a brief description of Planning-Programciing-Budgeting in the federal government and of the current activities of the Geological Survey, as a frame of reference for raising the planning questions. From that point, it would be logical to begin the first of the PPBS systems analyses for this agency.

Paperback. Condición: 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.
