Description

Time is an essential resource, it is irrecoverable, limited and dynamic (Ojo and Olaniyan, 2012). Further, Guoqing and Yongxin (2000) have mentioned time as a special and rare resource. In classical economic theory, time is considered to be chronological time and is available as a resource for economic utilization (Held, 2001; and Hofmeister, 2002). According to Cannon (1996), time cannot be managed in the same way as other resources such as human, physical, capital and information are managed. Time is a resource that must be used the instant it is received (Cannon, 1996).
