Resource allocation is the single hardest problem to address in large organisations, and there’s numerous cases of companies withering and dying because they failed to properly align their resource allocation with market forces.

Except withering and dying for a company is not a humanitarian crisis, but it is for a country. A company can also fire an underperforming team member, or ditch an entire department. Where as terminating underperforming citizens, or unneeded communities is generally frowned upon.
