Evaluating a Firm’s Internal Capabilities Chapter #3 Evaluating a Firm’s Internal Capabilities

Learning Objectives Describe the Critical assumptions of the resource-based view Describe four types of resources and capabilities Apply the value chain analysis to identify a firm’s critical resources and capabilities Apply the VRIO frame work to identify the competitive Implications of a firm’s resources and capabilities including…

The conditions under which resources are likely to be valuable The conditions under which resources are likely to be rare Four reasons why a firm’s resources may be costly to imitate How a firm uses its structure, control processes and compensation policy to exploit its resources

Resource-based View of the Firm Resources Are defined as the tangible and intangible assets that a firm controls Factories, Products (tangible) Reputation, Teamwork (intangible) Capabilities Subset of a firms resources that allows the firm to identify and implement strategies

Types of resources Financial Resources Physical Resources $ Retained Earnings Physical Resources Plant, Access to raw materials, Geographic location Human Resources Leadership Organizational Resources Collections of individuals

Assumptions of the resource-based view Resource Heterogeneity Firms, even in the same industry can develop different resources and capabilities Resource Immobility May be long lasting

The VRIO Framework Value Rarity Imitability Organization Does a resource enable a firm to exploit an environmental opportunity and or neutralize an environmental threat? Rarity Is a resource currently controlled by only a small number of competing firms? Imitability Do firms without a resource face a cost disadvantage in obtaining or developing it? Organization Are a firm’s other policies and procedures organized to support the exploitation of its valuable, rare, and costly-to-imitate resource

Why might it be costly Unique historical conditions Casual Ambiguity Space and time dependent resources ESPN X-Games Path Dependence Later advantages may be dependent on resources that were developed earlier Casual Ambiguity Take for granted Multiple hypothesis Not just a few

More on costly to imitate Casual Ambiguity Take for granted Multiple hypothesis Not just a few Whenever sources of competitive advantage are widely diffused across people, locations and processes, those sources of competitive advantage will be difficult to imitate

Costly continued Social Complexity Patents Socially complex phenomena, beyond the ability of firms to systematically manage and influence Patents Not as difficult to imitate (depending on industry) (Sony and reverse engineering)

Organization Formal structure Management control systems Compensation policies Complementary resources & Capabilities

Difficult-to-Implement Is the strategy easier for us to implement than it is for our competitors to implement? Two errors Overestimate the uniqueness of resources Underestimate the uniqueness of resources
