Comprehensive Budget Management application environment includes:

(I) Strategic Goals

Enterprises should determine the direction, focus, and objectives of budget management in accordance with strategic goals.

Enterprise strategic management first needs to determine the enterprise's vision, clarify its mission on this basis, and then form its strategic goals. Strategic goals are the concretization of the enterprise's vision and mission, representing long-term objectives, typically spanning 5 years or more, with content that is relatively abstract and general. The achievement of strategic goals is a long-term process, and during this process, a more specific and precise plan is needed, which is the enterprise's strategic planning. Strategic planning outlines the implementation steps and strategies for the enterprise's strategic goals, typically spanning 3 years.

(II) Business Plans

Business plans refer to the specific descriptions and detailed plans for business activities in accordance with strategic goals. Enterprises should concretize and quantify strategic goals and business plans as budget objectives to facilitate the implementation of strategic goals.

Operational objectives are guided by strategic planning and reflect the expected goals that an enterprise aims to achieve in its production and operations within a certain period. The formulation of an enterprise's annual operational objectives must stem from the enterprise's strategy, rather than from the resources it possesses, to ensure consistency between annual operational objectives and the enterprise's strategic goals. Therefore, an enterprise's annual operational objectives should reflect the intentions of its strategic management.
