Problems in resource allocation

There are several difficulties in resource allocation. The following are some of the identified problems.

i) Scarcity of resources.

Financial, physical, and human resources are hard to find. Firms will usually face difficulties in procuring finance. Even if fiancé is available, the cost of capital is a constraint. Those firms that enjoy investor confidence and high credit worthiness possess a competitive advantage as it increases their resource-generation capability. Physical resources would consist of assets, such as, lard machinery, and equipment. In a developing country like India, many capital goods have to be imported. The government may no longer impose many conditions but it does place a burden on the firm’s finances and this places a restriction on firms wishing to procure physical resources. Human resources are seemingly in abundance in India but the problem arises due to the non-availability of skills that are specially required. Information technology and computer professionals, advertising personnel, and telecom, power and insurance experts are scarce in India. This places severe restrictions on firms wishing to attract and retain personnel. In sum, the availability resources are a very real problem.

ii) Restrictions on generating resources

In the usual budgeting process these are several restrictions for generating resources due to the SBU concept especially for new divisions and departments.

iii) Overstatement of needs

Over statement of needs is another frequent problem in a bottom-up approach to resource allocation.

The budgeting and corporate planning departments may have to face the ire of those executives who do not get resources according to their expectations. Such negative reactions may hamper the process of strategic planning itself.
