That is why it is necessary to ensure theresources neeeded to accomplish all this. If the required components are not ensured and invested,there will be neither reproduction process nor will the company achieve the desired results.

The main business components – means of labour, objects of labour andworkforce – are introduced into the organisation and the organisation’s technological process asappropriate use values. Spending these components is a precondition for creating new products andservices.
