Abstract

There is, in the literature on administration, a general implication that resource levels are to be largely taken as givens, operating as constraints within which the administrator must work. A contrary view may be taken, namely that the level of resources made available to a specific operating unit may be increased by the insightful administrator. Careful analysis of the situation coupled with a reasoned strategy which utilizes an expanded definition of resources, a definition which rejects superficial categorization in favor of intensive examination of its finer nuances, are necessary to the achievement of this end.
