allocation

[C/U] Cả hai

This term carries a strong sense of authority and limitation. It suggests a top-down decision where a finite pool of resources is sliced up and handed out. It is most common in corporate, governmental, or technical environments where efficiency and rationing are priorities. While similar to distribution, allocation focuses more on the planning and the designated purpose of the resource rather than the physical act of delivery. It implies a strategic intent, often tied to a budget or a quota, rather than a random or equal sharing.

Countable when referring to a specific portion or a designated slice of a resource (an allocation of funds). Uncountable when referring to the general administrative process of dividing resources (the allocation of land).
