Final answer:
Financial resources are generally not evaluated in the 'resource sufficiency' stage of organizational feasibility analysis; this stage focuses on tangible assets like personnel, equipment, and office space. Money is used to acquire these assets and falls under financial feasibility rather than resource sufficiency.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks which of the following would normally not be evaluated in the "resource sufficiency" stage of an organizational feasibility analysis: a) key support personnel, b) ability to form favorable business partnerships, c) key equipment needed to operate the business, d) affordable office space, e) financial resources. During the resource sufficiency stage, an organization examines the tangible assets required to sustain a business, such as personnel, equipment, and office space. However, financial resources are generally not evaluated at this stage because they fall under 'financial feasibility' rather than resource sufficiency. Financial resources are used to acquire other resources but are not a direct measure of sufficiency in terms of physical assets or operational capabilities. Financial capital, including money and paper assets, is critical for acquiring physical assets, support labor, and technological capabilities. Money itself, however, is not considered a production input but rather a means to secure those inputs. Therefore, focusing on the availability of financial resources is distinct from assessing whether sufficient physical resources are at hand to begin operations.
