Erőforrásallokáció, often translated as resource allocation, is the process of distributing available resources among various potential uses or users. In economics, this refers to how societies decide to use their limited resources, such as labor, capital, land, and raw materials, to produce goods and services. This decision-making process is fundamental to how economies function and can be managed through different systems, including market economies, command economies, and mixed economies. In a market economy, allocation is largely determined by supply and demand, where prices act as signals to guide resource distribution. In a command economy, a central authority makes these decisions.

Beyond economics, resource allocation applies to many fields. In project management, it involves assigning personnel, equipment, and budget to different tasks within a project to ensure its successful completion. In computing, resource allocation refers to how system resources like CPU time, memory, and network bandwidth are assigned to different processes or users to optimize performance and fairness. In healthcare, it concerns the distribution of medical personnel, equipment, and funds to provide patient care effectively and equitably. The core challenge in any resource allocation scenario is the scarcity of resources relative to the demand for them, necessitating careful planning and strategic decision-making to achieve desired outcomes.
