Section Threeschool district.^72 The following account describes the outcomes
of this planning effort:
The most important outcome of these
applications of manpower planning was that the
analysis encouraged school administrators to
think strategically about the manpower resources
they managed. By using specific procedures to
estimate the supply and demand for teachers,
those factors which influenced the district’s ability
to balance supply and demand became more
visible and explicit... A second aspect of this
strategic orientation to manpower management
was that school administrators concentrated on
the importance of the relative rates of manpower
flows into, through, and out of their
organizations.^73
