A resource-based analysis of global competition: The case of the bearings industry
通过轴承行业三家公司的案例,比较了核心能力、组织能力和行政传承三个概念与传统经济分析在解释全球竞争战略中的作用,发现资源基础观能补充经济分析,两者结合才能全面理解全球战略。
This paper critically examines the contribution of aspects of the resource-based view of the firm to global competition in particular, and to strategic management in general. Three concepts—core competence, organizational capability, and administrative heritage—are defined and compared with the current mainstream economic tradition of strategy. The value of these concepts in analyzing and explaining competitive strategy is determined through a detailed field-based case study of three firms in the worldwide bearings industry. It is found that the resource-based view of the firm complements economic analysis, and that both are essential to a complete understanding of global strategy.
