Ingemar Dierickx and Karel Cool (1989) Management Science BADM 545, Fall 2019 Session 5. Resource-Based Theory Asset stock accumulation and sustainability of competitive advantage Ingemar Dierickx and Karel Cool (1989) Management Science Presented by. Hyewon Ma

Background Strategy literature focused too narrowly on privileged product market positions as a basis for competitive advantage. The fact that resource bundles need to be deployed to achieve or protect product market position is often overlooked. Creates analytical and managerial problems Analytical problem: the opportunity cost of scarce assets should be considered. Otherwise, returns are inflated. Managerial problem: managers need to realize that bundle of assets leads to their firm’s success  needs to be protected from imitation and substitution. Barney (1986): “strategic factor markets” Where firms acquire resources necessary for strategy implementation Under the assumption of complete input markets, there are neither “strategic” input factors nor “unique” skills and resources Above normal returns due to superior information, luck, or both.

Objective 1) Discuss limitations of “strategic factor market” concept 2) Complementary framework based on notion of asset stock accumulation 3) Develop guidelines for assessing the sustainability of a firm’s competitive advantage

Incomplete vs. Imperfect Factor Markets Barney (1986) focuses on “imperfect” markets. Useful to evaluate the opportunity cost of deploying assets However, it is not clear that all resources are actually bought and sold. (E.g. reputation) Therefore, the central question is not merely whether strategic factor markets are perfect, but whether they are complete. Indeed, to what extent can factors which are freely traded in open markets be termed "strategic"? Non-tradability of assets Non-appropriability of assets: various sources including absence of well-defined property rights or bookkeeping feasibility problem Firm-specific assets: firm-specific component is accumulated internally  A complementary framework is required to gauge the sustainability of stream of quasi rents generated through the deployment of non-tradeable assets

Accumulation of non-tradeable asset stocks When neither the desired strategic input factor itself nor any close substitute for it can be acquired through a market, firms are constrained to "building" it. Strategic asset is the cumulative result of adhering to a set of consistent policies over a period of time (“flows”). Put differently, strategic asset stocks are accumulated by choosing appropriate time paths of flows over a period of time. R&D bathtub Stock of know how: current amount of water in the tub Flow: current R&D spending Flows can be adjusted instantaneously, but stocks cannot! Key task: appropriate time paths of relevant flow variables must be chosen to build required stocks of critical assets.  Strategic asset stocks are non-tradeable, non-imitable, and non-substitutable

Sustainability of privileged asset position Sustainability of a firm’s privileged asset position hinges on how easily it can be replicated (imitation, substitution) Imitation of asset stocks Time compression diseconomies: the law of diminishing returns when one input, viz time, is held constant  early mover advantage Asset mass efficiencies: adding increments to an existing asset stock is facilitated by possessing high levels of that stock Interconnectedness of asset stocks: accumulating increments in an existing stock may depend on the level of other stocks Asset erosion: all asset stocks “decay” in the absence of “maintenance” expenditure  fast decaying stock is hard to establish a credible threat to entry Causal ambiguity: it is impossible to fully specify which factors play a role in asset stocks’ accumulation process

Sustainability of privileged asset position Substitution of asset stocks Threat that successful substitution renders original asset stocks obsolete  they no longer create value to the buyer.

Conclusion and Discussion Asset stocks are strategic to the extent that they are non-tradeable, non-imitable, and non-substitutable A firm’s current strategy involves choosing optimal time paths of flows, whereas its competitive position and profitability is determined by the level of its stocks Contribution While Barney (1986) address “market imperfection”, this paper provides a complementary framework for the sustainability of quasi rents through deployment of non-tradeable assets This paper provides a time-based view of competitive strategy (time compression diseconomies) provides
