In the broad theory in beginning, the aim was to create the base to the thesis and in the empirical part there was a few research units which were studied and analysed extensively. The doctrine relating to budgeting, financial budgeting and strategy consists of extensive Finnish and foreign literature and articles from the field of business economics.
