It is a fully integrated and the biggest European polyolefins producer with production plants in different European countries and it's head office in Copenhagen / Denmark. Directly after the merger Borealis had to create a common budget for the combined entity. The separate budgets of Statoil and Neste in the past had the traditional purposes of budgets: make planning and controlling easier for the management. The head of budgeting of Neste Oy became head of corporate control of Borealis and he was willing to leave the traditional budgeting behind and replace it by a new and innovative management steering approach with different purposes. During a period of three years he abandoned the traditional budgeting process and replaced it by a conglomerate of different management tools. This case describes the reason why and how it came to the different budgeting approach and what kind of concept was implemented instead of the traditional budgeting process. It also includes the hopes, which the Borealis management had with the different approach and the results of it. In the following shall be discussed what the advantages and the disadvantages of the new financial and steering system are compared with the abandoned budgeting system either from a theoretical and practical point of view. For this discussion the traditional budgeting process is described in the first place. It includes the budgeting process within Borealis and in theory.
