All three of these critiques have been put forward by scholars to argue that the RBV has limitations. Retrospective analysis means looking back at a company's resources to explain success, which is not as useful for predicting future success. The concept of resources is also seen as overly broad and vague, creating difficulties in defining and measuring them. Finally, identifying what is truly inimitable (meaning it cannot be easily copied by competitors) may be challenging to do in advance.
