The more sustainable the competitive advantage, the more difficult it is for competitors to neutralize the advantage. . I recently read an interesting post by Codebaby about “Your Competitive Advantage Is Your Customers Buying Experience” http://codebaby.com/cbBlog/2011/04/26/competitive-advantage-customers-buying-experience/ that I thought you would find interesting.

I'm a student from Denmark doing a project on employer branding and ten minutes ago I was desperate to find inspiration for a paragraph on RBV and the assumption that human capital bring value to organizations - I found it here :). Thank you so much - now I can get back to work :). Kind regards, Helena Dear Eric,

In regard to suggestions for strengthening the RBV, different authors agree on the importance of complementary and integral use of the RBV with other frameworks. Priem and Butler argue that “a synthesis of the resource and environment-based perspectives might be an important next step toward a more complete strategy theory,” while Burney admits that practitioners combining the RBV with other “demand-oriented perspectives” would benefit from the greatest potential of this framework (Priem & Butler, 2001; Barney, 2001). Incorporating others, such as the dynamic capabilities framework, would avoid the ‘strategic blindspots’ generated when focusing solely on one structure (Teese, Pisano & Shuen, 1997). While the integration of different frameworks appears as a recurrent solution in the literature, we were wondering how consultants turn the RBV into practical action and suggestions to managers. Do you know if McKinsey, BCG and other management consulting firms use this framework? Insights from their experiences can provide different suggestions for strengthening the RBV.
