Invited Editorial: The Use of Resources in Resource Acquisition
探讨企业如何通过现有资源获取新资源，指出资源存量造成竞争不对称，并用两个简单模型展示需求或成本侧的联系，说明企业应基于现有资源扩展组合，初始微小差异会随时间放大。
The author considers the processes through which a firm can acquire resources and argues that its current stock of resources create asymmetries in competition for new resources. Two simple models illustrate how this can work through linkages on the demand and/or cost side. The normative implication is that firms should expand their resource portfolios by building on their existing resources; different firms will then acquire different new resources, and small initial heterogeneities will amplify over time.
