Description: This monograph examines three popular management innovations that might be fads: (1) program budgeting, (2) costing, and (3) strategic planning. The origin and characteristics of each innovation are described, and the reasons why they became popular are analyzed. A number of potential pitfalls for administrators to avoid when using these management techniques are suggested.
