Resources and sustained information advantage
To have the potential of sustained competitive advantage the firm
must have four attributes-
1-Valuable- The value of the resources can only be received when it
enables a firm to conceive of or implement strategies that improve
efficiency and effectiveness.
2-Rare- if the valuable firm resource is possessed by a large number
of firms then each firm has the capability to exploit that resource
and give no other firm competitive advantage.
3-Imperfectly Imitable- Value of the resource can only be a source of
competitive advantage.
4- Substitutability – for a firms resource to be a source of
competitive advantage it must have no strategically equivalent
valuable resource.
