Abstract
To compete in a rapidly changing environment, firms must be able to deploy all their resources effectively and efficiently. The identification, quantification and assessment of different resource combinations to find that which has the potential to maximises the firm’s value creation is then the key problem. The resource-based view of the firm (RBV), the dynamic capability view of the firm and the competence-based view of the firm, while all addressing theoretical aspects of this problem, have not supplied the practical tool(s) needed to identify a company’s most competitive mix of resources nor how their deployment could be improved. This dissertation outlines the development of a tool (the IC Navigator) that not only provides a practical process to assist firms to optimise their resource mix, it also overcomes many of the theoretical limitations inherent in the underpinning literature.
