Summary
How has the performance accountability initiative in Florida changed management and budgeting, and what factors have affected its implementation? This article examines three state agencies--the Department of Revenue, the Department of Children and Families, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement--to understand how their leadership integrated and implemented program performance-based budgeting into their strategic efforts to create comprehensive performance accountability systems. The case studies are organized around four key issues: (a) defining agency structure and decision making, (b) integrating other management initiatives with performance-based budgeting, (c) constituent and stakeholder involvement, and (d) relationships with political principals. Conclusions reveal incremental yet substantive changes that reflect integration of management and budgeting.
