The Resource Based Perspective, Rents, and Purchasing's Contribution to Sustainable Competitive Advantage
检验了资源基础视角下采购活动能否为企业带来可持续竞争优势的结论，旨在提升采购职能在现代企业中的战略地位。
SUMMARY The resource based perspective (RBP) within the field of strategy seeks to understand the relationship between a firm's resources and its competitive advantage. Some RBP authors have concluded that it is logically impossible for organizations to generate sustainable competitive advantage from purchasing activities. One of this article's central objectives is to test the validity of that conclusion. It is hoped that the completion of that task may make it possible to assist in the process of raising the purchasing function's strategic profile in the modern firm.
