| Abstract: | When organizations pay inadequate attention to unusual events, the possibility of breaching a safety barrier increases. With hind sight it often appears that full advantage is not taken of what is known. Part of the reason organizations neglect apparent warnings is because of limited resources and the way resources are allocated. Drawing on concepts from the resource-based view (RBV) of the firm, this paper examines situations where resource availability and use can compromise safety by initiating drift. |
