Answer:

Causal ambiguity

Step-by-step explanation:

Causal Ambiguity is a situation is which it is impossible to replicate the consequences or effects of an event or thing or phenomena.

This is mostly used in the development of share prices among other things.

In the case of the question, the inability to relate the relationship between culpability and the firm's competitve advantage is why its ideas can not be imitated by any other firm.

Cheers.
