2. these resources may not be perfectly mobile across firms, and thus heterogeneity can be long lasting.

The Framework
Analyze
the potential
resources
to be sources of SCA.
Cannot purchase
it, but
found
resources already controlled
Not
simultaneously
implemented
by other firms
No. of firm with resource is
less
than No. of needed
Cannot be obtained
by competitors
for one or a combination of three reasons:
Exploit
opportunities or
neutralize
threats
Resources depending on unique
time and space
Locations, Scientists, Organizational culture...
Competitors
cannot understand
the link between the resources and sustained competitive advantage; don't know
which
resources they
should imitate
Resources have social phenomena,
beyond
the ability to manage and influence
Interpersonal relations, Firm's culture, Firm's reputation
No equivalent
value resources
- different management team
Two forms of substitutability
Substitute a
similar
resource.
Substitute
different
resources, but strategically equivalent
- charismatic leader and planning process

Do you think formal strategic planning is SCA?
- Valuable (recognize opportunities and threats)
- But not rare (a lot of firms using)
- Highly imitable (any firms can learn)
- Substitutable
How about positive reputation and relationship?
- Depends: may be rare (history dependent)
may be imitable (social complexity)
may be substitutable(guarantee)
