Synopsis

The concepts of "resource" and "post-industrial organisation" are explored from a number of perspectives prior to examination of selected processes relevant to responsible resource management. Specifically, "resources" are viewed as the value-added product of an organisation's many inputs (its people, finances, assets, values and processes). Innovative ways of enhancing resources through postcorporate management strategies are explored in detail. Particular emphasis is placed upon strategic networking, metastrategic design, microstrategic design and collaborative individualism. The relevance of each of these processes to the improvement of educational outcomes is explored in detail.
