While resource allocation has been a topic mostly explored by economists, there has now been a trend within business and organization research to deal with this topic as well. While the term resource allocation is regularly associated with markets (e.g. Adams Smith’s invisible hand), studies have shown that in society there is actually more resource allocation going on within firms than within in markets. The visible hand of managers, so to speak. In my talk I will present a current research project which aims to broaden our understanding of how such within-organization resource allocation strategies can affect the economic success of an organization. Specifically, the research project investigates which effect it has for organizations to change the way they re-allocate resources very slowly, as opposed to organizations which make huge changes and re-organizations every year.
