Introduction: dependence is inversely proportional to the alternative sources of supply. What creates dependence: dependence is increased when the resource you control is important, scarce, and cannot be substituted. If nobody wants what you have, there is no dependence: to create dependence, the thing(s) you control must be perceived as important. It varies among organizations and undoubtedly also varies over time within any given organization.

Inversely proportional to the alternative sources of supply. If something is plentiful, possession of it will not increase your power.
