RBV looks at the firm as a bundle of internal resources and the influence these attributes have on the firm’s competitive advantage and performance. Some of the RBV include human, technological, financial resources, organizational culture, and managerial capabilities (Lee, Lee, and Pennings, n/a). The strategic manager and leadership team will look at the internal resources such as personnel and equipment to assist in the decision-making of the project.

Basically, contingency theory asserts that when managers make a decision, they must take into account all aspects of the current situation and act on those aspects that are key to the situation at hand. Basically, it’s the approach that “it depends.” For example, the continuing effort to identify the best leadership or management style might now conclude that the best style depends on the situation.

If one is leading a hospital or university, a more participative and facilitative leadership style is probably best.

A budget is stated in terms of money and is usually made for one year depending either on the prior year’s budget or on existing programs (Cleverly & Cameron, 2007, p. 330). Creating a working budget is a very difficult undertaking, and for the budget to be functional, an organization must stick to the budget very closely. No matter how closely a budget is followed, there will be variances. Organizations can expect such variances and be able to work such situations into budgetary
