Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resources provide competitive advantage when they are difficult to imitate. If resources are equally available, then there is no competitive advantage to be gained. If resources are sequential, then they may only provide temporary advantage. Archival resources may be important for historical purposes, but they may not necessarily provide competitive advantage. Expensive resources may not necessarily be difficult to imitate and may not always provide a competitive advantage.
