Towards a Dynamic Resource-based View: Insights from Austrian Capital and Entrepreneurship Theory
指出资源基础观缺乏动态维度,通过引入奥地利学派和奈特的企业家与资本理论,结合西蒙的复杂系统理论,探讨资源价值与竞争优势可持续性,对战略管理学者有参考价值。
Over the last two decades, the resource-based view (RBV) has become dominant in the strategic management field. It has often been observed that the RBV is lacking in the dynamic dimension. For example, processes of building competitive advantages by means of combining existing complementary resources in novel ways are not inquired into. We argue that the RBV may profitably draw on insights in entrepreneurship and capital theory, drawn from Austrian economists as well as Frank Knight, in order to strengthen its dynamic dimension. We link the RBV and Austrian ideas in the context of the theory of complex systems pioneered by Herbert Simon. We draw a number of implications for strategic management from this synthesis, notably into resource value and sustainability of competitive advantage.
