Question

Even though many valuable, rare, and inimitable resources were generated at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), the management at Xerox's headquarters failed to gain a competitive advantage by exploiting the breakthroughs in computing software and hardware. What is the most likely implication of this example?

Answer 1

A firm must be effectively organized to capture value.

Step-by-step explanation:

This tool was originally developed by Barney, J. B. (1991) in his work. Firm Resources and Sustained Competitive Advantage , here some attributes were identified that firm’s resources must possess in order to become a source of sustained competitive advantage. According to him, the resources must be valuable, rare, imperfectly imitable and non substitutable. His original framework was called VRIN.

Answer 2

A firm must be effectively organized to capture value. A firm has to ensure it has a properly ongoing work system where everything balances. Proper marketing and advert, viability in product quality, organized administrative and technical structuring, analysis on probable customer base etc., these and many more factors have to be critically looked into and worked on to gain competitive advantage. What is the competition doing right that we are missing? who are our competition? Why are they the peoples favorite? How can we become the peoples favorite? Questions of these sort if worked on and implemented, will facilitate effective organizational growth.
