➤ Why do organizations face resource dependence?
Organizations face resource dependence because important inputs are unevenly distributed and external conditions change. Scarcity, specialization, and regulatory constraints create reliance on particular suppliers, markets, or institutions. This interdependence increases uncertainty and creates incentives for managers to build connections, diversify sources, or influence external actors to secure steady flows of capital, labor, materials, and legitimacy.
