Full textAbstract:
The author analyzed three different perspectives of the development of new technology-based firms (NTBFs) from the resource-based view.
The first article discusses how the resource base impacts the internationalization behavior of German NTBFs. Some companies go international early, some internationalize only after a few years. We argued that the resource base is a substantial factor determining if a NTBF will internationalize or not.
In the second article, we analyze how the resource base impacts the survival of German NTBFs. We argued that a lack of sufficient resources can lead to early business failure. We further state that the different resources are necessary to fulfill the requirements within the development phases of the NTBF. To broaden our perspective we combined the resource-based view with the market view.
In the third article, we analyzed how the resource base impacts the business model innovation of NTBFs. The business model for NTBFs must often be tailored to fulfill the requirements of potential customers or to further grow the business. A sufficient resource base is necessary to be able to change the business model and buffer the transition phase.

Full textAbstract:
International new ventures (INVs) are firms that from inception seek to gain substantial competitive advantage from the use and deployment of resources and the international sale of outputs. While INVs have received considerable theoretical and empirical attention as they are breaking the traditional paradigms of internationalisation, there is widespread concern about their sources of advantage. The main purpose of this study is to apply the resource based view (RBV) to the INVs context with the intent to provide an explanatory framework for the positional advantage of firms which leads to performance. The conceptual model is developed around the positional advantage construct, its antecedents (resources, capabilities, competitive strategies, entrepreneurial orientation, and ambidextrous innovation strategy) and consequences (performance). Following an extensive literature review and exploratory interviews with managers, measures have been developed and data has been collected from 260 INVs. The conceptual model has been empirically tested in the specific setting of INV firms in Mexico. This research has employed a scientifically sound research design with a rigorous statistical analysis. Structural equation modelling was used to test measurement veracity and hypothesised relationships between the constructs constrained in the measurement model. The study findings support the conceptual model and structural paths therein, and signify the efficacy of the measurement approaches used to capture the focal constructs. The results strongly support the central role of INVs positional advantage in the process of attaining superior performance. The study findings are discussed in the light of extant knowledge and a number of conclusions are drawn. Implications for business practitioners and public policy makers are explored, indicating the relevance of this research to INVs practice. Furthermore, an account of the most important limitations of the study is provided, along with suggestions for future research.

Franke, Ulrich J. "A resource-based view on the management of virtual web organisations." Thesis, Cranfield University, 2001. http://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/10438.
Full textAbstract:
For about two decades academics and practitioners have been dealing with the emerging
organisational paradigm of Virtual Organisations. From a inter-organisational
perspective virtual organisations are temporary configurations of independent and
dispersed companies facilitated by modern information and communication
technologies. One particular form of these inter-organisational virtual organisations is
the virtual web
organisation. The organisational concept of virtual web organisations'
encompasses three interrelated organisational elements, namely the virtual web
platform, virtual web management and virtual corporations. The virtual web platform is
a stable
company network of pre-qualified independent partner firms that have generally
agreed to co-operate in virtual corporations. The virtual web platform establishes a cooperative
environment and prepares the conditions for the formation and operation of
dynamic virtual corporations. The management of virtual web organisations facilitates
the
co-operative management of the virtual web platfom and facilitates the formation
and
operation of virtual corporations.
Based on a literature review of virtual web organisations the researcher identified a need
for a better understanding of how virtual web organisations are managed. Thus, this
research work aims to investigate virtual web management organisations in order to
reach a better understanding that contributes to academic knowledge in the field of
inter-organisational virtual organisations as well as to assist practitioners with the
management of virtual web organisations.
From an
interpretative philosophical standpoint the researcher developed a research
design that addresses the need for more knowledge about virtual web management
organisations. In order to view virtual web management organisations from the inside
the researcher made use of resource-based theory and developed a resource-based
analytical framework. A qualitative approach was adopted and five interview-based
case studies were conducted as well as one participant observation case study. Based on
individual within-case analysis the researcher conducted a number of cross-case
analyses. Then, the research findings were compared with and discussed in the light of
existing literature and knowledge in order to improve the validity of research findings of
this research work. The research findings are summarised and presented in form of a
resource-based framework of virtual web management organisations.
The final resource-based framework of virtual web management organisations presents
all
sub-competencies commonly employed by virtual web management organisations in
order to
perform the task of initiating and maintaining virtual web platforms, and the
formation of dynamic virtual corporations. Moreover, the resource-based framework of
virtual web
management organisations describes the content of each sub-competence; it
explains the reason and purpose of the identified common sub-competencies; it
describes the
temporary employment and the interrelation between them; and it provides
an overview of resources and capabilities underpinning each sub-competence
separately.

Title: Management of Key Account Relationships in SMEs: A Resource-Based View Authors: David Gedda & Simon JohanssonLevel: Master thesis, 30 hpKeywords: Relationship Marketing, Key Account, Key Account Management,Customer Relationship Management, SME, High-performing firms Background: Management of firms most valuable customers, the key accounts,are of great importance for firms in general. This is in particulartrue for SMEs which battles with notably constrained resources.The situation of SMEs poses careful consideration in how tomanage these relationships successfully. Research Question: What characterizes high-performing SMEs in terms of how theymanage their key account relationships? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop a better understanding of what characterises high-performing SMEs in terms of how theymanage the relationships with their key accounts. Method: A qualitative study with an abductive approach using a multiplecasestudy design was adopted. Semi-structured interviews wereconducted to collect primary data on eight Swedish SMEs in theB2B-context. Theoretical Framework: Theories about the resource-based view and relational capabilitiesare presented followed by theories about relationship marketingand its subsets KAM and CRM. The last part of the theory consistsof theories on relationship quality. Findings: In general, high-performing SMEs tend to have a more structuredapproach towards their management of their key accountrelationships. This is mainly shown through four characteristics:Clear categorization of key accounts, Senior responsibility for keyaccounts, Deep integration with key accounts and Systematicprocess towards their key accounts.

This case study is based in Mundo Verde, a Brazilian natural products company, and its focused on the strategic decisions the company has to make to overcome the current problems. The case is built around three major theoretical perspectives: Competitive advantages from a Resource Based View, Brand Identity and Entrepreneurship. In the case is presented first the company, disclosing the necessary information to analyze and comprehend Mundo Verde, by accurately identifying the company´s competitive advantages. Next the student is presented to a narrative where the CEO of the company meets one of the franchisees in an attempt to find out more about the company´s issues and to see how the stores are working. Several scenarios are presented to the students which represent several possibilities of action, considering the company, the problems to be addressed and the objectives of the company.

Full textAbstract:
The phenomenon analyzed within this thesis is the uprising of cloud computing technologies and their potential impact on SMEs. Cloud computing is ought to enable new capabilities for SMEs by the key benefits of being less expensive and its ubiquitous accessibility. The research was constituted on the theoretical framework of the resource based view and was conducted via semi-structured interviews along the themes of application history, financial impact, structural impact, strategic impact, risk considerations and future outlook. Thereby the core research question was to understand the impact of cloud computing technologies as new resources on the competitive advantage of SMEs. Therefore, 183 SMEs were contacted via email which were selected from a commerce authority and internet inquiry from which 6 agreed to an interview. The interview outcomes were analyzed by coding and an interpretation of the qualitative findings. Significant outcomes were that cloud computing provides SMEs capabilities of collaboration and mobility. The impact on innovation could not be verified but was indicated. Moreover, the adaption of cloud computing has led to SMEs saving resources in terms of time, IT budget and specific IT knowledge. The provision of the new capabilities and the savings of resources have shown to improve the SMEs’ overall performance by complementing, supplementing and substituting existing resources. Nevertheless, no direct linkage could be identified to a contribution to a competitive advantage but suggestive indirect linkages were found. However, the findings might deliver new comprehension about the organizational impact of cloud computing on SMEs in terms of resource enhancement and their impact on business practices. Furthermore, implications for future research include the need for investigation of the internal charging of cloud services and particular to narrow down the key advantages of cloud computing for SMEs and raise their business awareness as a source of competitive advantage.This paper has been a collective effort between Sten Ekström Winroth and Franco Bettels, the thesis has though been written in collaborative between the Management and Informatics department at Jönköping International Business School. These two departments have different requirements of the thesis writing process, which entails that we the authors have had different requirements. This is the reason that two theses exist with the same name, these two theses differ in the details, but are overall the same.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past two decades, the resource-based view of the firm (RBV) has emerged as one of the more influential paradigms from the field of strategic management. However, the theory has been subjected to a number of criticisms, particularly related to the use of methodologies in past research. Many RBV studies have tended to use averaged findings across broad industry samples. Approaches reliant on "averaging" methods will only uncover what is the case for the average, "representative" firm, and will not identify those unique, firm-specific assets that can result in sustained profitability. In order to examine the implications of methodological choice and the RBV, the subjective approach of Q methodology was used in a sample of music industry firms to identify a key resource set for the context of interest, identify strategic groups within the sample based on resource emphasis, and explore the ways in which managers use their resources to generate firm profits. A comparative approach examined resource outcomes by performance group, over multiple levels of analysis. The findings revealed (i) a number of relevant and new, context-specific resources from the music industry, (ii) the identification of three distinct clusters of firms that emerged from the sample based on resource preferences, firm characteristics, and managerial perceptions (iii) key resource findings that varied by level of analysis and by firm performance, and (iv) distinct processes through which the resources become valuable at the level of the firm--even when the same resources are considered. The outcomes of this thesis illustrate how methodological choice can affect findings when using the RBV to uncover important sources of advantage. Furthermore, the outcomes in this thesis point to the weaknesses of many past RBV studies that investigate the impact of resources and capabilities on firm performance, and remind scholars that a defining feature of the RBV is that its intention was to identify sources of advantage at the level of the firm. Moreover, the findings show that past RBV research using aggregated data across multi-industry samples can be misleading in its prescription to managers.

Executive summary: Social Media is increasingly becoming prevalent and firms are increasingly adopting social media. Managers are concerned about the value social media provides and how it can be used for competitive advantage. The resource-based-view of a firm suggests that resources that are rare, valuable, imperfectly imitable and non-substitutable can create sustained competitive advantage. This thesis uses the resource-based view of the firm applied to five case studies of Wiki implementation and analyzes how social media could create sustained competitive advantage. The analysis in this thesis finds that social media can be used to enhance existing resources and capabilities in a firm. These organizational capabilities are hard to imitate because of path dependency, social complexity and causal ambiguity and thus provide the firm sustained competitive advantage. The effective implementation of social media by a firm requires that it identify its core capabilities and resources to enhance, identify the gap that exists between the needed capabilities and the capabilities the firm possesses and then systematically embed social media in the daily routines and processes of the organization. This can be done by adopting appropriate social media guidelines, training and policy enforcement. Adopting social media by itself will not confer a firm sustained competitive advantage but capabilities thus enhanced could confer a firm sustained competitive advantage.

Full textAbstract:
Although many foreign invested enterprises (FIEs) and consultants in China put the localization to a strategic level, management localization is still an emerging issue of human resource management in academic research. A few previous studies on management localization focused on the internal efficiency of the subsidiaries or parent-subsidiary relationship. The impact of management localization on the interaction between the subsidiary and local environment has received little attention. Moreover, localization lacks a consistent and valid definition. This thesis attempts to bridge the gap by systematically exploring the strategic impact of management localization. Management localization is defined as substituting expatriate managers with local managers. Based on resource-based view, local managers can be considered the vehicle of local managerial resources and thus can bring competitive advantage to the subsidiary. It is hypothesized that the effect of the management localization on the performance of the subsidiaries is contingent on cultural distance, localization emphasis, resource dependence, and decision participation of the local managers. In-depth interviews in China help to illuminate the concept validity and definition of management localization, and the data from a questionnaire survey in China are used to test the hypotheses. The results of hierarchical regression analyses provide partial support for the contingent resource perspective. The findings have meaningful implications for management localization at the multinationals’ subsidiaries and provide strong heuristics for future studies of this issue.

Full textAbstract:
The resource-based view of the firm (RBV) is one the most important areas of research content to emerge in the field of strategic management in the last 15 years. The RBV is prescriptive. That is, the RBV prescribes that competitive advantage stems from those resources that are valuable, rare, inimitable, and nonsubstitutable (VRIN). With rare exception, resources that meet the VRIN criteria are widely purported to be intangible in nature. From a research perspective, the RBV stream tends to be dominated by conceptual discussions and advancements. However, empirical tests of the core premises, or the main prescription, of the theory are argued to be very limited in quantity. To add to the body of empirical research that seeks to verify the main prescription of the RBV, this research undertakes a new and different level of analysis, one that has not been previously tested. Given that firms compete with both tangible and intangible resources, the present study is interested in determining if, as the RBV implicitly prescribes, resources that are intangible in nature are more important determinants of firm success than tangible resources. Although the research question is basic and fundamental, it has rarely been appropriately or adequately tested within the RBV stream, as is demonstrated by this thesis. To carry out the research, this study offers a conceptual model of the firm’s resource pool that includes tangible assets (financial and physical assets), intangible assets (intellectual property assets, organizational assets, reputational assets), and capabilities. A series of hypotheses are posited to explore the proposition that intangible resources contribute more greatly to firm success, on the dimensions of sales turnover, market share, and profitability, than tangible resources.A field survey, administered to 2000 manufacturing and services businesses operating in Australia, is used to gather the data. Of the 2000 surveys sent, the hypotheses are empirically tested using multiple hierarchical regression analysis on a final sample of 291 firms. Control variables include firm age and Porter’s five forces of industry structure. Based on the results, verification of the RBV’s main prescription can not be supported unequivocally. Intellectual property assets, for example, do not have a statistically significant association with firm success, after accounting for the effects of tangible resources and the control variables. Organizational assets, however, not only explain additionally significant variation in firm success, after accounting for the effects of tangible resources and the control variables, but make among the greatest, unique contribution to firm success based on the size of the beta coefficients. Reputational assets offer additional explanatory power to predicting firm success after accounting for the effects of tangible assets and the control variables, but only with respect to one measure of firm success does its beta coefficient make a larger, unique contribution than financial assets. Lastly, contrary to theory, capabilities are not the single most important determinant of firm success, after accounting for the effects of intangible assets, and tangible and intangible assets, in two separate hierarchical regression equations. This finding is surprising and explanations are provided. Overall, the study raises some questions with respect to just which resources are the most important determinants of a firm’s market and financial success and offers a fruitful avenue for further research.

This paper approaches the strategy in business management and aimed at identifying and outlining the interests and commitment of stakeholders in strategic resources management concerning production and implementation of wind turbine equipment of a Brazilian wind power company and also verifying if internal and external results deriving from such activities were sustainable, taking as main reference seminal publications and periodicals relevant to the research point that discuss the Resource Theory, Stakeholders and Sustainability. An analysis was carried out to assess how stakeholders, beyond the temporal context, intermediated the composition, development and management of the organization´s resources, as well as the social, environmental and economic results obtained from resources management in the production and supply of wind turbines to a Wind Power Plant located in the State of Ceara, in order to portray that Brazil sustainability can be an important competitive advantage source that creates value for shareholders and the community (Hart & Milstein, 2003). The strategy herein applied was the qualitative investigation using a single study case, which allowed for the thorough examination of an active organization operating in the Brazilian industry of wind power and also the resources used in the production and implementation of wind turbines supplied to the a Wind Power Plant in Ceara. Considering the content analysis and the triangulation principle, three qualitative data collection methods were applied to identify and characterize stakeholders’ interest and commitment in resource management of the organization operating in the Brazilian wind power industry, as follows, semistructured deep interview with managers of tactic-strategic level and analysts of organization´s value chain nine activities, analysis of public internal and external documents; and analysis of audio-visual material. Nonetheless, to identify the internal and external economic, social and environmental results of implementation and supply of wind turbines to the Wind Power Plant in Ceara, semistructured interviews were also carried out with the residents of the region. Results showed the BNDES (Brazilian Development Bank) and the organization head office were the stakeholders who exerted the strongest influence on resources related to production and implementation of the aerogenerator product at Trairi Wind Plant in Ceara. Concerning the organization resources, at the current stage of the Brazilian Wind Industry ,although the brand, reliability and reputation of the organization under study were valuable esources, rare, hard to imitate and exploited by the organization, it was noticed that opposed to RBV, they did not actually represent a source of competitive advantage . For the local community the social, economic and environmental results related to the wind turbines implementation were more positive than negative, despite the fact that the productive process caused negative environmental impacts such as the high emission of CO2 to transport wind turbines components to Trairi Wind Power Plant.
Este trabalho, localizado no campo de estratégia empresarial, teve como principal objetivo identificar e caracterizar os interesses e envolvimento dos stakeholders na gestão de recursos estratégicos relacionados à produção e implementação do produto aerogerador de uma organização atuante na indústria brasileira de energia eólica, e verificar se os resultados internos e externos decorrentes da realização destas atividades foram sustentáveis, considerando-se, principalmente, como referencial teórico, publicações seminais referentes às abordagens da Teoria dos Recursos, Stakeholders e Sustentabilidade. Foram analisados como os stakeholders, além do contexto temporal, intermediaram a composição, o desenvolvimento e o gerenciamento de recursos de uma organização, bem como os resultados econômicos, sociais e ambientais obtidos da gestão de recursos na produção e no fornecimento de aerogeradores a um Parque de Energia Eólica localizado no estado do Ceará, de forma a retratar que a sustentabilidade pode ser importante fonte de vantagem competitiva e de geração de valor para acionistas e comunidade em geral (Hart e Milstein, 2003). Para atingir o objetivo deste trabalho, utilizou-se a estratégia de investigação qualitativa, por meio de estudo único de caso, o que permitiu a exploração detalhada da organização atuante na indústria brasileira de energia eólica e os recursos utilizados no processo de produção e implementação de aerogeradores fornecidos ao Parque de Energia Eólica, localizado no estado do Ceará. Considerando-se a análise de conteúdo e o princípio da triangulação, foram utilizados 03 (três) métodos de coletas de dados qualitativos para identificar e caracterizar os interesses e envolvimento dos stakeholders na gestão de recursos da organização atuante na indústria brasileira de energia eólica: entrevistas semiestruturadas em profundidade com gestores do nível tático-estratégico e analisas das nove atividades da cadeia de valor da organização, análise de documentos internos e externos públicos e análise de materiais audiovisuais. Por sua vez, para identificação dos resultados econômicos, sociais e ambientais interno e externos relacionados ao fornecimento e implementação dos aerogeradores no Parque de Energia Eólica localizado no Estado do Ceará, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com moradores residentes em torno dessa região. Os resultados encontrados demonstraram que o BNDES e a matriz da organização em estudo foram os stakeholders que mais exerceram influências sobre os recursos relacionados à produção e implementação do produto aerogerador no Parque Trairí. Por sua vez, com relação aos recursos da organização, constatou-se, principalmente, que, no atual estágio da indústria eólica brasileira, embora a marca, confiabilidade e reputação da organização em estudo sejam recursos valiosos, raros de difícil imitação e explorados pela organização, os mesmos, no atual estágio de maturidade da indústria eólica brasileira, e, contrariamente a Teoria dos Recursos, não representaram uma fonte de vantagem competitiva à organização. Por fim, para a comunidade local, os resultados econômicos, sociais e ambientais relacionados à implementação do aerogerador foram mais positivos do que negativos, embora o processo produtivo do aerogerador tenha gerado alguns impactos ambientais negativos, como, por exemplo, o alto nível de emissão de CO2 para o transporte dos componentes dos aerogeradores até Trairí.

Is it feasible to stimulate informal collaboration among non-urban firms and local public- and other private-sector actors, whereby they jointly strengthen the competitiveness of these firms? To answer this question, firms’ collaboration with local partner’s actors were examined. Most of the studied firms in this thesis are embedded in a regional “ecosystem” of a country (Sweden), with the usual set of public- and third-sector (not-for-profit) actors. Firms that “exploit” all their local external actors do create additional resources for themselves. This thesis argues that such fuller use is feasible and perhaps necessary in a non-urban Swedish context. The Resource-Based Theory (RBT) considers mainly internal firm resources to achieve superior performance. In order to extend this theory in the context of a non-urban area, collaborative excellence is advocated through informal public-private collaboration that can help firms to flourish economically. The collaboration between the public and the private sectors can also enhance a common spirit or identity of a place. Action Design Research (ADR) Methodology is invoked in this thesis, together with other supporting methods, such as interviews and observations as well as archival data analysis. The intervention was held as a set of workshops and has been used as a key research method at the same time. The results capture, amongst others, views from municipal management, private companies, and community (not-for-profit) associations. The essential aim of this research was to enhance the quality of the interactions among the key individuals from these organizations in their efforts to strengthen productive cooperation between the public and the private sectors. Informal public-private collaboration is important. Thus, more understanding of how such collaboration can be used effectively is paramount. This thesis shows that it is feasible to develop collaboration in a specific Swedish non-urban context when successful private firms and a municipality work well together with relevant, not-for-profit organizations that are also located in, and concerned with, the same region. Therefore, when addressing the competitive potential of a location, the quality of the informal public-private collaboration, should be considered. The abductive research approach of this study aims to offer an understanding of how informal collaboration between firms and local, non-commercial partners may take place, aiming for firms to flourishNederländernas examen är endast doctor

Full textAbstract:
The resource-based view of the firm (RBV) is one the most important areas of research content to emerge in the field of strategic management in the last 15 years. The RBV is prescriptive. That is, the RBV prescribes that competitive advantage stems from those resources that are valuable, rare, inimitable, and nonsubstitutable (VRIN). With rare exception, resources that meet the VRIN criteria are widely purported to be intangible in nature. From a research perspective, the RBV stream tends to be dominated by conceptual discussions and advancements. However, empirical tests of the core premises, or the main prescription, of the theory are argued to be very limited in quantity. To add to the body of empirical research that seeks to verify the main prescription of the RBV, this research undertakes a new and different level of analysis, one that has not been previously tested. Given that firms compete with both tangible and intangible resources, the present study is interested in determining if, as the RBV implicitly prescribes, resources that are intangible in nature are more important determinants of firm success than tangible resources. Although the research question is basic and fundamental, it has rarely been appropriately or adequately tested within the RBV stream, as is demonstrated by this thesis. To carry out the research, this study offers a conceptual model of the firm’s resource pool that includes tangible assets (financial and physical assets), intangible assets (intellectual property assets, organizational assets, reputational assets), and capabilities. A series of hypotheses are posited to explore the proposition that intangible resources contribute more greatly to firm success, on the dimensions of sales turnover, market share, and profitability, than tangible resources.A field survey, administered to 2000 manufacturing and services businesses operating in Australia, is used to gather the data. Of the 2000 surveys sent, the hypotheses are empirically tested using multiple hierarchical regression analysis on a final sample of 291 firms. Control variables include firm age and Porter’s five forces of industry structure. Based on the results, verification of the RBV’s main prescription can not be supported unequivocally. Intellectual property assets, for example, do not have a statistically significant association with firm success, after accounting for the effects of tangible resources and the control variables. Organizational assets, however, not only explain additionally significant variation in firm success, after accounting for the effects of tangible resources and the control variables, but make among the greatest, unique contribution to firm success based on the size of the beta coefficients. Reputational assets offer additional explanatory power to predicting firm success after accounting for the effects of tangible assets and the control variables, but only with respect to one measure of firm success does its beta coefficient make a larger, unique contribution than financial assets. Lastly, contrary to theory, capabilities are not the single most important determinant of firm success, after accounting for the effects of intangible assets, and tangible and intangible assets, in two separate hierarchical regression equations. This finding is surprising and explanations are provided. Overall, the study raises some questions with respect to just which resources are the most important determinants of a firm’s market and financial success and offers a fruitful avenue for further research.

This study has addressed a central issue, a gap in our existing knowledge, literature, analysis, an understanding of the role of state in resource seeking. Whilst the role and operations of the firm, has long been a primary focus of research in Strategic Management, analysis of the role and influence of the state with respect to firms has been relatively under-researched. To investigate this core research question, the study identified and applied the well-established theoretical and methodological approach, the Resource Based View of the ‘firm’ (RBV), developing it further to incorporate and mainstream the factor of the state and elaborating a fresh analytical approach, termed the resource-based view of the ‘state’ (RBS). The new RBS conceptual framework has been proposed by extending the central proposition of the RBV of the firm- that a firm must acquire and control valuable and non-substitutable resources and capabilities, into a multidisciplinary integration of both the institution based view (IBV) approach and the role of the contemporary state in providing resources and capabilities to firms. The central problematic this research is seeking to explore is the new resource-based approach of the Indian state. The state is seeking the acquisition of energy assets overseas, using institutional support mechanisms and the deployment of specific state capabilities and resources. Using an in-depth case analysis of the Indian state, this thesis provides evidence of the resource-based approach, in which the state provides a strategic intent for its firms, creates strategic markets for the firms to compete in as well as providing intangible resources. The state is also presented as a source of new intangible resources that provide competitive advantage and insulate firms from competition in specific markets. Insights from elite interviewees representing a cross-section of institutional actors such as academics, ambassadors, senior government officials, policy planners, advises the state, personnel from state-owned and private resource seeking firms as well as from the fourth estate, in the thesis has provided a rich contextual information to evidence resource seeking in the contemporary Indian state. The key contribution of the new conceptual framework, the RBS model has been in integrating a multidisciplinary approach to the traditional resource based view theory of the firm. Using the institutional context of the Indian state, this thesis has provided an appropriate context for the validation of the RBV of the firm.

In recent years, there are more and more human resource management studies which used the resource-based view（RBV）to discuss the relations between human resource management capabilities and business performance（e.g., Batt, 2002; Chan, Shaffer, and Snape, 2004; Guest, Michie, Conway, and Shehan, 2003; Huselid, 1995; Wright, McCormick, Sherman and McMahan, 1999）. Although RBV is the mainstream in strategy management field, the author thinks that more discussions can be made about how to apply RBV for the HRM researches. Many RBV related researches only examines the impact of HRM practices on the overall performance. But Ray, Barney and Muhanna（2004）argued, the firm performance is influenced by many business different processes. Each different process could have positive or negative impact on overall firm performance. Therefore, only focusing on the impact of HRM towards company performance can not bring the meaningful conclusion. The author takes Ray et al.（2004）’s viewpoint into account, and then use questionnaires received from 50 listing electronic companies in Taiwan Stock Market as the samples of this thesis to analyse the relationship among human resource management capabilities, human resource management effectiveness, company competency, and firm performance. There are three important findings, the first one is that human resource management capabilities can enhance human resource management effectiveness. Secondly, the author figure out that human resource management effectiveness is not a bridge between human resource management capabilities and firm performance. Finally, firm competency and human resource management capabilities have significant influence on company performance. The author hope that the accomplishment of the research can help us to understand the entity of human resource management capabilities.

ERP upgrade has been discussed as a critical issue needs to be addressed in the IT field. The latest news said that “ERP upgrade” is the strategic positioning tool which is necessary to bridge the gap between where the company was now and where it wanted to be in a few years (Franke, J. 2007). Although upgrading ERP has been proved no doubt of its importance towards any sized, goal or employees of an organizations over time, it is also found that the activity of upgrading existing ERP system was hardly successfully carried out by most of the organizations. All upgrades involve steep fixed expenses. The completion of an ERP upgrade can be extremely complex and time consuming. Whether or not to upgrade the system? The reasons are left in an unclear question. However, under the situation, only few theoretically researches and resources articles were found on the upgrading decision issue. Few research studies were found, with no convincing approval of the upgrade decision understanding. Some argue that the reason can be the costs of the underlying upgrade system; others may found that the in-house resources utilization is the centre of the upgrade problem. In this study, we will then focus on the resource competitive contribution as factors influencing the ERP upgrade decision. The ERP’s strategic importance was built on its functions and utilizations within an organization. Considered this, main question of our research will therefore be focus on the reason of differing in the upgrade decision of organizations by using a strategic perspective resource-based view. This paper therefore examines the strategic factors influence the ERP upgrade decisions. Survey and interviews were used to gather data for a case study. The result shows that reduce cost, and increase revenue are the factors that influence an organization’s ERP upgrade decision.

When presented with financial shortages and operation of a horizontal organization to achieve the goal of efficient and high-quality information development, how to more effectively manage resources becomes a crucial topic. This study analyzed eight cases to investigate how administrators managed different resources to enhance the quality of projects when developing information technology (IT).The results showed that the case companies applied different resource management systems when addressing different environments. IT companies, with abundant human resources and first-rate technology, are able to continuously improve the capabilities of their technology as well as to dominate this crucial resource constantly. By contrast, information sectors, which require the use of the technology resource, employ technology to resolve resource deficiency, such as inadequate actor resources and inefficient structures. This study applied the data analysis of grounded theory to investigate how the case companies managed their resources. The results yielded an academic and practical contribution. Regarding the academic contribution, we applied the viewpoint of resource management and grounded theory to systematically describe and analyze resource management in IT projects, including the use of the following four resources: technology, actor, task, and structure. Regarding the practical contribution, when developing information systems, enterprises should examine their internal resources on the basis of the research code determined by this study to identify the presence of the aforementioned four resources in their projects, and then analyze the correlations between different categories. Finally, enterprises could further their understanding of how to effectively manage their resources on the basis of the findings of this study.

The purpose of this study is to explore the marketing capabilities on firm performance and marketing performance impact. Many established marketing research, citing resource-based view (RBV) to explore the relationship between marketing capabilities and firm performance, the results were found that marketing capabilities will help enhance the firm performance , and marketing capabilities for enterprises to create a unique resources and capabilities, and thus to achieve a competitive advantage(e.g., Moore and Fairhust,2003; Tsai and Shih, 2004; Vorhies and Morgan, 2005; Verhoef and Leeflang,2009). But Ray, Barney and Muhanna (2004) argue previous RBV research has shown a common absence , that is , key resources of the functional level directly to link with firm performance, they believe firm performance is composed of many different business processes of composition, the impact of different business processes on firm performance may increase firm performance, but may also reduce the firm performance, so if only verify the relationship between a single business process and firm performance , it may produce incorrect results. Therefore , the author takes Ray et al.（2004）’s viewpoint into account, on the marketing capabilities, marketing performance and firm performance as a research framework, and advocating firm marketing capabilities enhance marketing performance, but not necessarily be able to improve the firm performance. Use questionnaires received from 45 Gas Equipment Industry Association of manufacturers and related companies in charge of marketing in Taiwan as the samples of this thesis to analyses the relationship among marketing capabilities, marketing performance and firm performance. Research found that marketing capabilities will enhance marketing performance and overall marketing performance, but individual marketing capabilities only product development could enhance the firm performance, the others individual marketing capabilities couldn’t enhance the firm performance. The author hope that the accomplishment of the research can provide a new insight to the association of marketing capabilities and firm performance

Since the 1990s, due to the rapid development of information technology, and the fast-changing environment, it becomes harder and harder for the companies to get hold of the situations of external environment. They have to constantly innovate in many areas, so to take care of many unpredictable crises, and keep themselves surviving and growing in a fiercely competitive environment. While competing, companies cannot be in control of the changing external environment, but they can be sure of the internal resources and capabilities. So instead of focusing on external factors, it would be more appropriate for the companies to integrate internal resources and capabilities, and then set up a correct course. Only this kind of strategy-making is possible to be carried out within the capabilities of a company. This is what becomes to be known as the Resource-Based View (RBV). The innovations realized, based on the integration of internal capabilities and resources currently available, according to the ecological trends nowadays, are called Green innovation. Lately, thanks to the concerning international ecological regulations, as well as environmental requirements for the products from customers, the environmental consciousness has become an international issue impossible to be ignored. Many researches by investigators both local and international emphasize the importance of Green innovation, making the products from those green industries more valuable. Among the six newest developing industries in Taiwan, the solar industry stands out for the Government’s attention, and prospers accordingly. But the technology industries are fast-changing and facing international competition. In order to innovate, companies cannot follow a linear thinking, but they have to try to form a circle, completing a thorough cycle from production to sales, utilization, scrapping, recycling, degradation and reproduction, so to lower their cost, building products with ecological value, while co-exist with the Earth at the same time. Thriving and efficient innovations will be created this way. Therefore, a study on this industry will be most representative to understand the enterprise competitiveness in the green innovation. This research is using cases of companies as examples, and analyze the factors of Green innovations, using Resource-Based View (RBV) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) This approach allows the introduction of customers’ demands (RBV) to the technological factors (Green innovations). So we can discover Green innovation factors within the limited resources of a company, and create effective Green innovations. The research has found out that through the RBV, the Green innovations factors discovered can be applied for Green innovations more suitably and closely to the actual operations of the company in question. They can be used for reference when the company studied conducts its own Green innovations.

Family business is a typical organizational form around the world and dominates the economic landscape of many nations. Scholars propose that the reason why family businesses are different from non-family business because of resources that are distinctive to a firm as a result of the interactions between family, family members and business. The bundle of resources that have been theoretically developed within the resource-based view framework are identified as “Familiness” of the firm. Familiness is considered as a source of competitive advantage to family firms, but some scholars believe that the resources are necessary but not sufficient to achieve a competitive advantage. Resources must also be managed and deployed effectively through capabilities. Marketing capabilities is one of the most important capabilities of a firm, there are many studies have pointed out that the marketing capabilities and business performance are significantly related. The purpose of this paper is to exam the relationships among the familiness of individual family firm and their marketing capabilities through the resource-based view framework. This paper conducted a convenience sampling questionnaire survey to collect data, using the members of "Taiwan Fastener Association", "Taiwan Watch & Clock Industrial Association”, “Taiwan Fluid Power Association", and the companies that National Sun Yat-sen University MBA’s students work for as sample, issued 571 questionnaires, 134 valid questionnaires were retuned, the effective response rate is 23.5%. Descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, multivariate analysis and multiple regression analysis were used for data analysis and hypothesis testing. The results of this paper show that all of family human resource, family social resource and patiant financial resource have significantly positive correlation with marketing capabilities. The managers of family business can take advantage of such unique resources to strengthen marketing capabilities that create sustainable competitive advantage and achieve superior performance.

SaaS is a lease over the Internet. SaaS provides companies for business “on-demand” model and helps them use external IT sources to optimize the information system efficiency. However, the company has some problems with outsourcing vendors, such as limits on the contract, poor coordination and communication. Therefore, these problems make it difficult to maintain their relationship and cause to end the relationship or change other vendors. This study uses the Resource-Based view to explore how the company avoids risk and creates opportunities with SaaS service. Besides, how the company strengthens organizational capabilities (Technological Opportunism and Technological Sophistication) maintains the commitment of long-term cooperative relationship. We collect 175 questionnaires about using the SmartPLS software to analyze data. Our findings show as follows：(1)The organizational capabilities (Technological Opportunism and Technological Sophistication) have positive effect on the SaaS vendors commitment. (2)Using Strategic Risk of the SaaS has negative effect on the organizational capabilities (Technological Opportunism and Technological Sophistication). (3)Using Core Competencies and Strategic Flexibilities of the SaaS have positive effect on the organizational capabilities (Technological Opportunism and Technological Sophistication).

Facing today’s highly competitive market and changed business environment, whether the company has the capability to implement successful inter-organizational information systems to achieve efficient supply chain management becomes a significant issue. To fulfill this need, this research aims to develop a framework for measuring the IOS capability. After company interviews, our proposed framework is simplified to measure four IOS capabilities: (1) physical assets, (2) path dependency, (3) relational intangibles (trust and complementary resources), and (4) market power. We propose that firms with these IOS resources can have higher IOS usage, which in turn creates greater IOS performance.

Full textAbstract:
This longitudinal research study of the US bicycle industry from 1975 to 1994 and beyond examines the relationship between strategic alliances and industry structures from a resource-based view of the firm. The main argument of this study is that strategic alliances provide firms with flexible facilitating mechanisms to access strategic resources for competing in dynamic competitive environments. A theoretical framework outlines a reciprocal relationship between the creation of strategic alliances and the development of an industry life cycle. Purposes for strategic alliances arising from a transformation value chain are related to changes in industry structures as defined by different stages of an industry life cycle model. In order for a firm to sustain a competitive advantage as industry structures change, strategic alliances facilitate a means for firm resources to be reconfigured accordingly or they may become core rigidities. The following chapters develop the specifics for this research study. Chapter 1 introduces the rationales for studying strategic alliances and industry structures from a resource based view. Chapter 2 reviews theoretical foundations and research findings on the resource based view of the firm, strategic alliances and joint ventures, and the life cycle model. Chapter 3 draws from earlier research findings to develop a theoretical framework that outlines a dynamic relationship between strategic alliances and industry structures. While strategic alliances enable firms to adapt to environmental conditions, the cumulative impact of interfirm activities lead to shifts in life cycle stages. Chapter 4 outlines the case study research methodology and the selection of the bicycle industry for this empirical research study. Chapter 5 presents the bicycle industry with detailed discussions of types of bicycles and component parts, demand and supply conditions of the US bicycle industry, bicycle firm behavior, strategic alliances of bicycle firms, technological innovations, and the global bicycle industry. Chapter 6 discusses the case analysis of the bicycle industry by exploring the theoretical framework that was developed in Chapter 3. The results indicate that purposes for strategic alliances differ during each stage of the bicycle industry's life cycle from 1975 to 1994 and beyond. An important role of strategic alliances was to enable bicycle firms to reconfigure resources to protect the technical core of the organization and/or develop normal assets to leverage core competencies. To conclude, Chapter 7 outlines the contributions and limitation of this research study with future research directions.

Full textAbstract:
Ecotourism has emerged as a major growth segment within the global tourism industry. While it has attracted considerable academic attention, what has been lacking is a systematic study of the strategic management of successful ecotourism firms - that is, by definition, firms that are economically, environmentally and socially sustainable. This thesis addresses this gap in two ways. Firstly, it employs the resource-based view of the firm to identify the strategically relevant resources possessed by successful ecotourism firms. Secondly, it seeks to identify some of the issues' ecotourism firms face in the development and management of their research base.
A case study method is employed in this study. This allowed a detailed understanding of the resources and capabilities possessed by ecotourism businesses, and the manner in which these resources are used to ensure their sustainability. In total, three case businesses were included in this study — Kiwi Dundee Adventure, Inala Nature Tours, and Jemby Rinjah EcoLodge. Three criteria were used for selecting businesses for inclusion in this study. Firstly, they had openly marketed themselves as being ecotourism businesses. Secondly, their business operations had to comply with Ecotourism Australia's definition of ecotourism product. Thirdly, they had to have operated continuously for over 10 years and currently be making a net profit. Compliance with these criteria was thought to be indicative of a sustainable ecotourism business. Primary data was collected through semi-structured interviews and participant observation, while secondary data was gained from business documents, promotional materials, and local and international press. Data analysis was facilitated by the use of the software package NVivo 7.0
Analysis revealed four strategically relevant resources across the cases — nature, environmental management and nature conservation, reputation, and network relationships. Nature (a unique natural environment) was found to be critical for attracting ecotourists to a destination. The 'uniqueness' of nature was in part linked to the uniqueness of the ecosystem and the plant and animal species found at the destination, and partly due to the social construction of these places as examples of rare and unique natural capital and different from the physical environment in the ecotourist's home country. Similarly, proactive environmental management and nature conservation processes were critical to success in the ecotourism sector. Participation in such programs helped to protect the natural resource base upon which the business depends, and helps demonstrate the environmental credentials of the business. Reputation was important because it helped to create awareness of ecotourism firms with potential customers, and to encourage others to undertake nature conservation. Network linkages to other businesses and associations were also found to be critical to an ecotourism firm's ability to increase the scope and scale of their operations, while at the same time avoiding many of the associated risks with business expansion.
Analysis also revealed three key issues associated with the development and management of these strategically relevant resources. Firstly, ecotourism firms often did not own the resources upon which they depended for their success. This created uncertainty about access and the future viability of the firm. Secondly, linkages existed between resources, necessitating in integrated approach to resource management. Finally, a sustainable business ethic was central to resource management. Such a business ethic fostered a focus on long-term objectives, and a willingness to balance economic, environmental, and social outcomes.
Detailed theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed, and directions for future research are suggested.

Recently, most of manufacturing firms in Taiwan choose OEM or ODM business model because of their excellent operating capability. However, with the profit of Contract Manufacturing mode being diluted slightly, many firms start to consider whether they should choose branding strategy or not. Therefore, the strategy of business model has become a very important issue nowadays. This study attempts to fill the gap in the literature by providing an integrative research framework through extensive literature review to identify the key determinants to examine the difference between various types of business model. Based on core competence perspective, this study constructs a topologic model with two major core competence： Technology capability and Market capability, and bring out four varieties of business model： contract manufacturing, product design, value integration, and brand focusing. thus, the 2X2 matrix and construct were developed and then examined through four case studies. By literature review of business model, this study develops five important determinants including Value Positioning, Resource Competence, Relationship Capital, Corporation Implementation and Strategic decision. Complying with the view of resource dependence and several literatures about core competence, the construct built up completely. Hence, we could use the construct to measure four different strategic decision . This study suggests that firms should measure their core competence carefully, and choose the moderate business mode for their own. Then, adjust their content of business model by learning from best practice of four successful cases in order to stand out in the world stage.

With communication technology innovation, deregulation, and other extraneous factors which might affect corporate development, the media corporates have found their way to expand into larger firms or even conglomerates. Nowadays, it’s not likely for a corporate to stick to only one market or industry; instead, the innovative media technology facilitates media corporates to develop new businesses and to further improve their corporate revenue. Instable environment of media industries in Taiwan as it is, the resource flexibility possessed by media corporates becomes more important than ever to achieve the competitive advantages. Therefore, the Resource-Based View (RBV) of the strategic management is applied for the present study to analyze the media corporates in Taiwan. The Hong Kong-based media corporate—Nextmedia Limited— has been chosen as a case for the study due to its outstanding performance on different businesses in Taiwan and the in-depth interviews and document analysis is utilized as the methods for data collection. The present study found that the Nextmedia is a low-diversified media corporate using only internal development to extend its businesses. Applying resource-based view, related diversification uses more intangible resources such as human resources; conversely unrelated diversification emphasizes on physical resources such as land and capital. Meanwhile, the content as resource is conditionally shared among unrelated business units instead of related ones. Financial motive is mainly the reason why the Nextmedia make their related diversification; and corporate growth is accociated with unrelated diversification. Finally, the present study found that the leader of the corporate is a dominate factor for resource allocation and all diversification strategies.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)This thesis seeks to examine the structural factors that influence the development of tourism at the national level, with a focus on Malaysia. Tourism in Malaysia emerged later than in its neighbouring countries such as Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. This is because the primary source of foreign-exchange earnings before 1985 came from commodities and the manufacturing industry. Only after a severe economic recession did Malaysia consider the tourism industry as an alternative to broaden the country’s economic base. Ever since, with an efficient marketing and planning strategy, Malaysia has become the most visited country in Southeast Asia after Thailand. In gross national product (GNP), tourism ranked second after manufacturing, contributing approximately 34 per cent of the total GNP of Malaysia in 2005. To understand the factors that influence tourism development in Malaysia, this study has chosen a qualitative method because it involves answering questions pertaining to ‘what’, ‘why’ and ‘how’, which can provide a wealth of profound and detailed information on the issues being investigated. As the qualitative method is the root for the interpretive paradigm, this study has chosen bibliographic research as its research method, as the information gathered for this study is from published material and data were analysed using content analysis/NVivo 8.0. The findings from this study indicate that Malaysia’s planning in the tourism industry appears to exhibit characteristics consistent with the stages of Butler’s Tourism Life-cycle Model in that Malaysia has undergone the stages of exploration, involvement and development. This study discovered that Malaysia’s strength has been in its four marketing areas (product, price, promotions and distribution channel). However, the last marketing areas, planning and implementation, were not receiving full cooperation from some of the stakeholders, rendering the long-term marketing objectives unachievable. This indicated that competitive advantages may arise, but if resources are imitable, competitive advantage is not sustainable. The marketing strategies that have been employed by Tourism Malaysia for short-term and long-term objectives indicate that Malaysia has constantly considered its core resources (e.g. nature and culture), created resources and supported resources (e.g. accessibility, quality of service and market ties) and capabilities that are capable of attracting visitors in a consistent manner (see Table 3.7). This study contributes to the theory of tourism in Malays and provides practical perspectives. From the theory perspective, this study validates the importance of integrating a resource-based view (RBV) and Butler‘s development theory in underpinning the country’s degree of competitive ability in tourism. These theories can be used as a guideline for other countries in their tourism planning, assisting them to use their resources efficiently. This study also reveals that Malaysia possesses individual capabilities that result in short-term advantages in tourism. From the practical perspective, the Malaysian government needs to improve its marketing resources by developing a close relationship with its stakeholders, as this relationship is presently marked by a lack of cooperation.

In recent years, Taiwan’s agriculture has faced difficult situations. But as the trend of travel is raising, leisure farming is also gaining ground and gives a great opportunity for traditional farming industry. However, due to the lack of knowledge and experiences of managing leisure farms, many owners who were originally farmers have found difficulty when it comes to create distinguish features. Moreover, imitating each other also leads to collectively poor performance. Therefore, this study has two goals. On one hand, it sums up the past researches and literatures to find out the key factors resulting in success in managing leisure farms; on the other hand, it offers best practice from the case study of well-run existing leisure farms. The conclusions of this study can be presented as followings: 1. The operating activities of a leisure farm should be in accord with its own resources and tourists’ demand. It has to create a unique theme to distinguish itself from others. 2. Once a leisure farm has positioned itself, its products and services should fit its position to avoid giving tourists conflicting messages. 3. Internet may be helpful to the marketing of leisure farms, but tourists can easily gain information as well. Therefore, without non-stop innovation, a leisure farm cannot sustain its distinctive position.

Taiwan Government performed the Two Trillion in 2002, Twin Stars Industries, LCD-TV panel industry which is counted among the star industries in the future. Furthermore, supplier chain management is capital in this industry;Meanwhile, the first step that is select adaptive supplier. If we can select the most adaptive supplier for us, we could have more competitive advantage in this industry. In our thesis, we propose a supplier selection model to evaluate business resources effects on LCD-TV panel supplier selection. Firstly, we use Resource-Based View to examine business resources and figure out what supplier criteria can achieve multiply effect. Furthermore, these criteria are used to build supplier selection hierarchical framework based on the literatures,experts information and fuzzy delphi method. The most adaptive supplier is determined with fuzzy preference relations which is used to establish the weight of criteria and suppliers performance since its attractive properties. With our proposed model, the business can not only examine their position, but also evaluate their supplier performance, to develop individual supplier strategy.

Full textAbstract:
The author analyzed three different perspectives of the development of new technology-based firms (NTBFs) from the resource-based view.
The first article discusses how the resource base impacts the internationalization behavior of German NTBFs. Some companies go international early, some internationalize only after a few years. We argued that the resource base is a substantial factor determining if a NTBF will internationalize or not.
In the second article, we analyze how the resource base impacts the survival of German NTBFs. We argued that a lack of sufficient resources can lead to early business failure. We further state that the different resources are necessary to fulfill the requirements within the development phases of the NTBF. To broaden our perspective we combined the resource-based view with the market view.
In the third article, we analyzed how the resource base impacts the business model innovation of NTBFs. The business model for NTBFs must often be tailored to fulfill the requirements of potential customers or to further grow the business. A sufficient resource base is necessary to be able to change the business model and buffer the transition phase.:1 Introduction
