Alternate Resource Allocation Techniques

Abstract

Organizations like the United States Army allocate large budgets over diverse programs to achieve their vision and objectives. Each organizational element focuses on developing and advocating the best programs to meet their individual objectives and some are resistant to transformational change. As the vision and strategy changes, some senior decision-makers are concerned that their resource allocation processes are not responsive to their transformation objectives. This paper five possible resource allocation methods and recommends the use of Multiple Objective Decision Analysis as the most appropriate resource allocation technique to support organizational transformation.
