Business - emphasizes improving the competitive position of a corporation’s products or services in a specific industry or market segment.
Functional - concerned with developing a distinctive competence to provide a company or business unit with a competitive advantage.

◦ Programs - statements of activities or steps needed to accomplish a single-use plan.
◦ Budgets - statements of a corporation’s programs in dollar terms.
◦ Procedures - systems of sequential steps or techniques that describe in detail how to perform particular tasks or jobs.
Evaluation and Control
