DESCRIPTION:While resource allocation has been a topic mostly explored by 
 economists\, there has now been a trend within business and organization r
 esearch to deal with this topic as well. While the term resource allocatio
 n is regularly associated with markets (e.g. Adams Smith's invisible hand)
 \, studies have shown that in society there is actually more resource allo
 cation going on within firms than within in markets. The visible hand of m
 anagers\, so to speak. In my talk I will present a current research projec
 t which aims to broaden our understanding of how such within-organization 
 resource allocation strategies can affect the economic success of an organ
 ization. Specifically\, the research project investigates which effect it 
 has for organizations to change the way they re-allocate resources very sl
 owly\, as opposed to organizations which make huge changes and re-organiza
 tions every year.\n\nNiklas Lindlbauer is a second-year doctoral researche
 r in the Strategic Management subject group\, at the Judge Business School
 \, University of Cambridge. His research primarily concerns questions and 
 debates relating to strategic choices of multi-business firms on the corpo
 rate level. As a basis for his doctoral work\, Niklas completed a research
  masters at the University of Cambridge. Prior to embarking on this academ
 ic journey\, he gained three years of industry experience at the managemen
 t consulting firms McKinsey & Company as well as at the Boston Consulting 
 Group (BCG) in Munich and Düsseldorf\, Germany.
