5.3: NOAA's Organization and Administration Enterprise
Other Information:
Supporting all of NOAA's various functions is the management of resources, an essential function of any organization. NOAA's
managers, whether at headquarters or in the field, have common responsibilities to manage the investment of tax-payer dollars,
deploy physical infrastructure, and retain a qualified workforce. NOAA's managerial efforts provide the rest of the Agency
with the staff, the infrastructure, and the financial capital needed to get the job done. Effective management of these resources
fosters an organizational environment in which core competencies can be used most effectively and final products and services
can have the greatest impact.
