desired ends that the management would like to reach.
Objectives are very basic to the organisation. They are usually
set by top management of the organisation and focus on broad,
general issues.
Objectives need to be expressed in specific terms i.e., they
should be measurable in quantitative terms.

Budget

numerical terms quantifying future facts and figures.
A budget is also a control device from which deviations can be
taken care of.
