Description/Abstract | Executive policymaking authority is examined to see how it is affected by allocating public resources via zero-base budgeting (ZBB).^After reviewing the concept and rationale of ZBB, the authors compare incremental policymaking with scientific policymaking.^This review and comparison are then used to draw implications of using ZBB.^Ultimately, the authors argue that ZBB will result in greater policymaking authority in the hands of senior management of the executive branch at the expense of the legislative agencies and bureaus.^Government`s responsiveness toward the particularistic interests of individuals and groups will be reduced as a result of using ZBB.^43 references. |
