Conquering Resources: The Growth and Decline of the PLA's Science and Technology Commission for National Defense: The Growth and Decline of the PLA's Science and Technology Commission for National Defense


Overview

This case study seeks to explain how organizations grow and the limits to that growth when an organization engaged in policy implementation lacks the resources necessary to achieve policy goals. The discussion of the basis of conflict that emerges from this study is of lasting significance.
