“Given the rapidly changing landscape of our industry and the common thread of organizations 'doing more with less' in a resource-scarce environment, this journal is not just timely, but necessary. A journal of this nature, with topics such as organizational behavior and operational challenges that a healthcare administrator who is resource-stricken can relate to, is an opportune and worthwhile endeavor.”
