Select a Saudi Arabian company with which you are familiar and reinforce the approach to resource and capability analysis by appraising the strategic worth of key resources and capabilities using Barney's VRIO (Valuable, Rare, Imitable, Organization) Framework.
Identify three key resources and/or capabilities of the company.
Vet each of the three against the VRIO (Valuable, Rare, Imitable, Organization) Framework.
Explain each resource/capability's score given the VRIO rubric. For instance, does the resource/capability impart sufficient value, is the resource/capability rare, etc.
What is the likely competitive outcome for each resource/capability? That is, given its VRIO score is it likely to impart a sustainable competitive advantage, a temporary competitive advantage, competitive parity, or competitive disadvantage?
Make recommendations to the firm's management as to which of the resources/capabilities you have identified should be invested (built up), divested and/or which additional resources should be acquired to supplement/leverage existing resources/capabilities.
