strategic planning, a resource-allocation decision is a
plan for using available
resources, for example
human resources, especially in the near term, to achieve goals for the future. It is the process of allocating resources among the various
projects or business units.The plan has two parts: Firstly, there is the basic allocation decision and secondly there are contingency mechanisms. The basic allocation decision is the choice of which items to
fund in the plan, and what level of funding it should receive, and which to leave unfunded: the resources are allocated to some items, not to others.
