Abstract

Archaeological research organizations are a challenge to management since their output-research-is inherently difficult to measure and not subject to evaluation in the marketplace. The integration of business management theory and analytic techniques into the organization can assist those responsible to plan, organize, direct, and control the organization so as to improve effectiveness. Among these techniques are Gantt charts, the critical path method, and zero-base budgeting.
