{"product_id":"organisational-slack-resources-von-paul-adkins","title":"Organisational Slack Resources:","description":"\u003cp\u003eSlack resources are recognised to be those spare  capabilities and assets of the organisation that are  variably reclaimable for re-deployment. They  represent underutilised and hidden spare energies  within a company that may be recaptured and employed  for a variety of tasks. However their positive  contribution to organisational success has been a  contentious claim that has provoked the intuitive  counter argument that slack resources are an  inefficiency and are to be eradicated. The pro-slack  argument has been that very efficient organisations  are inflexible and therefore incapable of being  responsive to an increasingly dynamic environment.  Therefore this work compares and contrasts three  distinctive industries in a holistic manner and maps  the impact of environmental flux on the firm, its  subsequent disruptive ripples through the  organisation and its absorption by slack resources.  Through this process it is demonstrated that slack  resources do positively contribute to organisational  performance and subsequently the ability of slack to  promote sustained competitive advantage is also  identified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838375762\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe definitions and consequences for business flexibility and performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838375762","offer_id":39469205454941,"sku":"9783838375762","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/afdc8528-81f6-433e-a3a9-d5c82d8e79e6.jpg?v=1758875948","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/organisational-slack-resources-von-paul-adkins","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
