The document discusses the resource-based view model for evaluating a firm's internal capabilities. It states that the resource-based view assumes a firm's resources and capabilities are the primary drivers of competitive advantage and economic performance. It identifies four categories of resources: financial, physical, human, and organizational. It also outlines two critical assumptions of the resource-based view model - that firms have different, heterogeneous resources and some resources are costly or impossible for other firms to obtain or imitate due to immobility. Finally, it introduces the VRIO framework for analyzing resources based on their value, rarity, imitability, and the firm's organization.

Evaluating a Firms Internal
Capabilities Group 6 The Resource- Based View Model used to help firms achieve competitive advantage and superior economic performance. assumes that a firms resources and capabilities are the primary drivers of competitive advantage and economic performance
Resources and Capabilities Resources: tangible and intangible assets of a firm tangible: factories, products intangible: reputation Capabilities: a subset of resources that enable a firm to take full advantage of other resources marketing skill, cooperative relationships
Four Categories of Resources: Financial (cash, retained earnings) Physical (plant & equipment, geographic location) Human (skills & abilities of individuals) Organizational (reporting structures, relationships)
Two Critical Assumptions of the RBV Resource Heterogeneity different firms may have different resources. Resource Immobility it may be costly for firms without certain resources to acquire or develop them. some resources may not spread from firm to firm easily.
