用资源基础理论分析英国皇家海军在特拉法加海战中如何凭借关键资源获得持续竞争优势，并为现代企业管理者提供启示。
Executive Overview Resource-based theory enhances our understanding of how some organizations achieve a sustained competitive advantage in their industries. These principles are used to analyze the British Royal Navy's historic triumph at the Battle of Trafalgar, a battle that the British had won even before the first shot was fired because they possessed certain key resources that gave them a sustained competitive advantage over the enemy fleet. Lessons for today's business managers are derived from the analysis of this battle.
