Note: All references are to be included in the body of the text. Footnotes, endnotes and bibliographies are discouraged.
Acceptance of written work in the Resource Management Journal does not in any way indicate an adoption by RMLA of the opinions expressed by the authors. Authors remain responsible for their opinions, and any defamatory or litigious material and the Editor accepts no responsibility for such material.
