Journal of Business Communication, 30(1), 49-61. A budget is a quantitative expression of a plan of action. The Starbucks store expresses its plan for product growth and improved marketing through revenue and advertising budgets. Budgets also help to coordinate and implement plans. They are the chief devices for disciplining management planning. Without budgets, planning may not get the front-and-center focus that it usually deserves. Introduction to Management Accounting: Chapters 1-17, Fourteenth Edition, by Charles T. Horngren, Gary L. Sundem, William O. Stratton, David Burgstahler, and Jeff Schatzberg. Published by Prentice Hall. Copyright © 2008 by Pearson Education, Inc. Performance reports provide feedback by comparing results with plans and by highlighting variances, which are deviations from plans. For example, managers of the Starbucks store evaluate the effectiveness of its advertising plan by comparing the increase in revenue and profits to the increase in advertising. Based on their evaluation, managers at Starbucks make corrections and revisions to their plans. 2) ETHICS IN ACCOUNTING References Cristina,...

...MARKETING STRAGETIES: Successfully marketing an apartment complex requires you to find people who are seeking housing and place your advertisements in front of them at the right time and place. As you consider marketing strategies, list the places your target renters or buyers are likely to go when searching for properties. Be sure that your marketing materials are present in each place. Banners: One of the most effective ways to market an apartment complex is by hanging a simple banner off of the building facing the street; this is particularly useful if your complex is near a major highway. If you are located away from main streets, consider putting up a sign that says "Apartments for Rent" with an arrow indicating the direction. Many people search for apartments by driving around neighborhoods that they like, and a banner or a sign is an easy-to-see advertisement that does not require a large investment. Before using signs, check your area's regulations on their use to avoid incurring fines or other penalties. Craigslist: When searching for a place to live, many people head directly to the Craigslist postings for their city. To post your apartments, simply visit the Craigslist page for your area and click on the "post to classifieds" button. When advertising on the site, avoid placing logos and generic floor plans; often, readers will skip directly over these. Instead, write a basic listing for each available unit and include details about utilities. To increase...
