摘要

As a potential theory, the elemental resource-based view (RBV) is not currently a theoretical structure. Moreover, RBV proponents have assumed stability in product markets and eschewed determining resources' values. As a perspective for strategic management, imprecise definitions hinder prescription and static approaches relegate causality to a black box. We outline conceptual challenges for improving this situation, including rigorously formalizing the RBV, answering the causal how questions, incorporating the temporal component, and integrating the RBV with demand heterogeneity models.
