Taiji Logic

Abstract

Resources refer to everything we can use rather than what we have, both tangible and intangible. During the process of integrating project resources , it is also necessary to consider that the resources are associated with project stakeholders.

What has a (positive) existence serves for profitable adaptation, and what has not that for (actual) usefulness.
