Study Notes
Introduction to Resources
- Organizations view company assets (buildings, equipment, manpower) as resources.
- Resources are all available means for increasing company production or profit.
- Resources include land, labor, capital, and raw materials.
- Without resources, organizations cannot exist.
- Physical resources are tangible (e.g., money, forklifts, teachers).
- Physical resources are acquired and assembled for use as needed, often converting raw materials into refined forms.
- Managers maximize resource usage by allocating space, and planning for replacement/repair before resources become inefficient or obsolete.
Conceptual Resources
- Conceptual resources are non-tangible and valuable for what they represent (e.g., money, skills, experience).
- Employees' skills, knowledge, and experience set them apart, making them valuable.
- Conceptual resources are used to manage physical resources, and vice versa (e.g., computer usage in organization).
- Digital content stored on computers becomes irreplaceable resources.
- Security measures for computer units (e.g., firewalls, anti-virus) are used to protect valuable data (conceptual resources).
- Information (data, facts) is considered a conceptual resource. Relevant verifiable truths with validated meaning and value.
- Data, when organized, become information.
Information as a Resource
- Information is defined as facts about something or someone.
- Facts need to be validated and identified as relevant truths
- Information has additional value beyond the value of the facts themselves.

- Economic information has a balance of value over production cost.
- Reliable information depends on valid data and sources.
