  2. The Resource Based View of the Firm A firm’s valuable, rare, socially complex, and inimitable resources generate a competitive advantage and, thereby, an above-normal rate of return. Thus, the heterogeneity of resources across firms explains their comparative differences in competitive advantage in the marketplace.

  3. Multidisciplinary Literature • Management • Barney (1991, JoM) • Wernerfelt (1984, SMJ) • Marketing • Day and Wensley (1988, JM) • Hunt and Morgan (1995, 1996; JM)

  4. Type of Resources • Tangible • Examples: product/process inputs, facilities, locations, patents, and technological equipment • Characteristic: protected from imitation by property rights • Intangible • Examples: discrete or systemic knowledge-based • Characteristics: protected from imitation by knowledge barriers between competitors • allow firms to add value to their tangible resources

  5. Dynamic Capabilities Perspective (Complementarity of Resources) • Question: Why are some firms, despite the relatively superior resources they possess, not able to sustain their competitive advantage over time, especially in dynamic markets? • Answer: Some firms are more able to transform their resources into dynamic capabilities, especially in turbulent markets. • If so, HOW?
