Budgetstyrning i Gasellföretag : En studie inom ekonomistyrning om hur planeringsverktyget budget används i tillväxtföretag. / Budgeting in gazelle companies : A study in management accounting systems on how budgeting is used in high-growth companies.

Söderberg, Adam, Karlsson, Daniel January 2019 (has links)
Budget har länge varit en stor del av verksamhetsstyrningen i företag och organisationer. Kritik har dock riktats mot budget och dess oförmåga att fungera på ett effektivt sätt för företag som verkar i föränderliga miljöer. Gasellföretag är företag med kraftig tillväxt. Dessa företag växer i sådan takt att förändringar sker frekvent vilket enligt kritiker gör att budget har svårt att klara av sina syften. Den kraftiga tillväxten ställer krav på hög flexibilitet hos Gasellföretagen samtidigt som de måste kunna anpassa sig efter sin miljö. Genom att studera budgetstyrningen i olika Gasellföretag är uppsatsens syfte att förstå hur planeringsverktyget budget operationaliseras i tillväxtföretag som är verksamma i en föränderlig miljö. Detta genom att jämföra mot den teori som finns kring ämnet och hur den kan kopplas och ställs i förhållande till ett företag med hög tillväxt. Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ flerfallsstudie på Gasellföretag. Empirin utgörs av fem semistrukturerade intervjuer med olika Gasellföretag som är verksamma inom olika branscher. Det empiriska materialet har analyserats för att urskilja likheter och skillnader mellan företagen för att kunna besvara uppsatsens frågeformulering. Studien visar att Gasellföretag väljer att budgetera när de upplever att de inte längre har samma kontroll över verksamheten. Den visar också på att en budget i ett tidigare stadie kan hjälpa till att minska risken för oförutsedda kostnader. Budgeten fyller flera funktioner för Gasellföretagen där kontroll, planering och ansvarsfördelning är några av de viktigaste faktorerna. / Budget has been a big part of the management control system in companies and organizations for a long time. Budgeting has been the target of critic due to being incapable of fulfilling its purposes for companies that works in a changing environment. Gazelle companies are companies with high growth. These companies grow in such pace that the environment of the company constantly changes, which makes it hard for the budget to work properly according to critics. The high growth puts great demands on flexibility for the gazelle companies, while they at the same time need to be able to adjust themselves to their environment. By studying the budgeting control system in different gazelle companies, the purpose of this study is to understand how budget as a planning tool is operationalized in high-growth companies which works in a changing environment. This is done by comparing existing theory and see how this can be applied to a high-growth company. The study is a qualitive multiple case study on gazelle companies. The empirical material is based on five semi structured interviews with different gazelle companies, working in different industries. The material has been analysed with the intention to identify similarities and differences between the companies in order to answer the problem of the thesis. The study shows that gazelle companies choose to make a budget once they feel that they no longer have control of all the tasks in everyday work. The study also shows that budget can help avoiding unforeseen costs. The budget serves many purposes for the gazelle companies. Control, planning and distribution of responsibilities are some of the most important factors.
