Understanding why some firms outperform others is central to strategy research. The resource-based view (RBV) suggests that competitive advantages arise due to possessing strategic resources (i.e., assets that are valuable, rare, nonsubstitutable, and inimitable), and researchers have extended this logic to explain performance differences. However,...

... First, empirical findings indicate that not all IT solutions provide superior performance or ensure a competitive advantage over rivals. This underscores the necessity for certain conditions to be met, including integration into enterprise information systems, alignment with company strategy and the availability of qualified and motivated employees (D'Oria et al., 2021;Xu and Lu, 2022). Decision-makers should carefully select technologies for adoption by assessing not only their firm's readiness but also by forming realistic expectations about the anticipated returns. ...
Purpose
The paper aims to adopt the synthetic control group (SCG) method for the IT-driven performance analysis and validate this tool focusing on three IT solutions: Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Human Resource Management (HRM) and the internet of Things (IoT).
Design/methodology/approach
Based on the literature review, this paper examines the strengths and weaknesses of various research designs employed in studies investigating IT-driven performance and presents a detailed procedure for implementing SCG research design. Drawing from a dataset of manufacturing companies from one of the Easter-European markets from 2000 to 2021, the study constructs counterfactual conditions to assess the performance effects of CRM, HRM and IoT.
Findings
The SCG method leverages historical data and sophisticated statistical techniques to establish causal relationships between specific IT adoptions and firm performance. The empirical findings demonstrate the effectiveness of SCG in yielding reliable results across three experiments involving CRM, HRM and IoT.
Practical implications
The SCG method has high potential as it can deliver evidence-based decision-making for IT implementation. Before resource-intensive investment in IT is initiated, a company can find similar cases and look for evidence that they were effective for other firms in the past.
Originality/value
This study contributes to the field of technology management by introducing a new tool for evidence-based decision-making in IT. By surpassing traditional approaches, the study offers a more comprehensive and reliable evaluation, providing accurate insights into the true impact of IT on overall organizational performance.
... Thus, hospitals' capability to leverage digital technology may be viewed as a critical resource to satisfy the putative customer needs and deliver superior patient care (Yadav et al., 2024). The RBV framework assists in elaborating how some of the hospitals (D'Oria et al., 2021), that have enhanced capabilities in the use of technology, may be more capable of providing better and more efficient patient care in constrained input settings. ...
Purpose
This study aims to explore the perceptions of leadership in lower–mid-level hospitals regarding the impact of digital transformation on the quality of patient-centered care. It specifically investigates how digital capabilities influence patient care and identifies the key factors within digital capability that contribute most significantly to enhancing patient-centered care in resource-constrained settings.
Design/methodology/approach
The research adopts a quantitative approach, using a cross-sectional survey design. Data were collected from 285 respondents representing leadership roles in lower–mid-level hospitals. Statistical analysis examined the relationships between digital capability and patient-centered care.
Findings
This paper’s findings reveal a positive, albeit weak, correlation between digital capability and patient-centered care in lower–mid-level hospitals. Key factors such as leadership support for digital adoption and the availability of trained information and communication technology (ICT) personnel were the most significant contributors to enhancing patient-centered care. This study also highlights that resource constraints, particularly in budget allocations for ICT, continue to pose challenges to fully leveraging digital technologies.
Practical implications
The study provides valuable insights for hospital administrators and policymakers, suggesting that targeted investments in digital capabilities, particularly in leadership and staff training, are crucial for improving patient-centered care.

The study’s focus on leadership perspectives provides a unique angle, highlighting the critical role of leadership in navigating digital challenges in health care.
... The Resource-Based View (RBV) hypothesis, which proposes that organizations acquire an edge by using their distinct resources) and it asserts that unique organizational resources and capabilities are crucial for achieving competitive advantages (D'Oria et al.,(2021). Koeswayo et al. (2024) applied this idea to their research, which found that governance, internal control, and reputation are significant resources. ...
... Once attracted, maintaining these individuals becomes easier since the good qualities of the business reputation lead to job satisfaction and organizational commitment (Alniacik et al., 2011). According to RBV, the firm's distinctive and valued resources may be used to promote a variety of organizational outcomes, including employee engagement (D'Oria et al., 2021). Employees that are engaged are more enthusiastic, committed, and productive (Sahni, 2021). ...
... RBV is centered on the exclusive and non-replicable resources of the business (Kellermanns et al., 2016). Meanwhile, KBV analyzes knowledge assets as strategic resources to create value (D'Oria et al., 2021). DCV adopts a more dynamic method, examining the adaptation of business to strategic capacities in addressing the evolving business landscape (Maijanen, 2020). ...
Research aims: This research aimed to investigate the relationship between absorptive capacity (ACap) and innovative culture (ICul) in an organization. Additionally, the impact of ICul on innovation and the mediating function of the variable were analyzed. In this context, Catur Purusa Artha (CPA) culture served as a moderating varaible in assimilating organizational innovation (OIn).Design/Methodology/Approach: A quantitative design was applied, and data were collected using a questionnaire distributed to 350 Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) units. Subsequently, the collected data were investigated using the Smart PLS3 application.Research findings: The results showed that ACap did not affect OIn. ACap had a positive and substantial impact on ICul, which was influenced by OIn. Therefore, ICul functioned as a mediating variable in the relationship between ACap and OIn. CPA was reported to moderate the relationship between ACap and OIn.Theoretical Contribution/Originality: The literacy could be used as a management practice developed in the business actors of Bali Province. In this context, the role of local culture was important in running a business.Practitioners/Policy Implications: This research could be used in an organization for social, economic, cultural, and business development. The observation data and the conclusion were used as a reference.Research Limitations/Implications: SMEs managers in Bali Province were used as samples since some organizations did not implement the local CPA culture. Furthermore, a national organizational culture could be applied to various sectors.
... The dynamic resource-based view (DRBV), rooted in the resources-capabilitiescompetitive advantage paradigm offers a robust framework for understanding how firms can leverage their resources and capabilities to sustain competitive advantages in dynamic environments [12]. In this context, the primary contribution of this study is to explore how SCV as a competitive advantage is influenced by the firm's ITC resource through internal operating capabilities, specifically postponement strategies. ...
It is commonly assumed that information technology capabilities (ITCs) are instrumental in supply chain viability (SCV), despite negligible empirical evidence. Based on the dynamic resource-based view, this study explores how the SCV competitive advantage is influenced by the heterogeneous resource ITC through the internal operating capability postponement (POST). A quantitative survey was administered to 298 senior managers from retail manufacturing firms, to test hypotheses using hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The SPSS PROCESS Macro was used to determine the mediation and interaction effects of the dual-stage moderated-mediation model, identifying a positive correlation between ITC and POST strategies, highlighting that modern real-time data synchronization and on-demand customization IT systems are needed. POST strategies greatly improve SCV by enhancing operational flexibility, reactivity, and adaptability to dynamic market conditions. The moderators “market orientation” and “demand uncertainty” shape these relationships, emphasizing the need for firms to align their strategies with market dynamics and uncertainties. The research emphasizes the importance of valuable, rare, and inimitable resources in driving sustained competitive advantage. Practical implications suggest strategic investments in advanced IT systems and collaborative efforts in retail manufacturing firms are essential for optimizing supply chain processes. The results, discussion, implications, limitations, and suggestions for additional studies are addressed.
... The RBV explains that business output, including competitive advantages and performance, can be achieved by optimizing the available resources (D'Oria et al., 2021;Ristyawan et al., 2023). When the business can optimize its available resources, it will have unique advantages, compared to other competitors, to win the market competition and achieve higher performance. ...
... Based on the RBV, the final output from using the valuable resources is to get higher performance. However, the use of resources must create a competitive advantage that can improve business performance to achieve higher performance (D'Oria et al., 2021;Ristyawan et al., 2023). In this case, entrepreneurial skills, market orientation, sales orientation, and networking are the resources to create entrepreneurial competence as a competitive advantage. ...
The research aimed to examine (1) the direct effect of entrepreneurial skill, market orientation, sales orientation, and networking on entrepreneurial competence; (2) the direct effect of entrepreneurial competence on livestock farmers’ performance; and (3) the indirect effect of entrepreneurial skill, market orientation, sales orientation, and networking on livestock farmers’ performance through entrepreneurial competence. Samples were 399 livestock farmers in Magelang Regency. The independent variables were entrepreneurial skills, market orientation, sales orientation, and networking. Meanwhile, the dependent variable was livestock farmers’ performance, and the mediating variable was entrepreneurial competence. Variable measurement used 7-Likert scale questionaries. Then, data analysis used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Based on data analysis, the research finds that entrepreneurial skill, market orientation, sales orientation, and networking improve entrepreneurial competence. In addition, entrepreneurial competence increases livestock farmers’ performance, Then, entrepreneurial skill, market orientation, sales orientation, and networking improve livestock farmers’ performance through entrepreneurial competence. The research contributes to giving new evidence of entrepreneurial competence in the context of animal husbandry. The research also contributes to capturing how the implementation of the Resources-Based View (RBV) concept affects the achievement of livestock farmers’ performance. The research has some implications. First, livestock farmers increase entrepreneurial competence by building entrepreneurial skills, market orientation, sales orientation, and networking to improve performance. Second, regulators can formulate regulations or programs that can help livestock farmers to grow their businesses since the business is run individually, such as human resource development or business establishment programs.
... De esta forma, y bajo la conjunción de mediciones como las anteriores e incluso otras asociadas a la vulnerabilidad, severidad o magnitud del impacto, se gesta la evaluación y clasificación del riesgo en umbrales que van desde una probabilidad e impacto bajo (riesgo bajo), pasando por zonas de tolerancia (riego moderado), hasta llegar a identificar riesgos que requieren acción inmediata, por el potencial del daño (riesgo alto) (Hariharan de medición del riesgo, una práctica que implícitamente expone la calidad del control organizacional (Karpushenko et al., 2023). Finalmente, la investigación se orientó hacia lo dispuesto en la teoría de los recursos y capacidades, un referente útil, por cuanto declara que las ventajas competitivas de una empresa se sostienen gracias al uso eficiente de los recursos tangibles e intangibles de los que disponen y como los gestionan (Barney, 1991;Barney et al., 2001;Xu & Zhang, 2021;D'Oria et al., 2021). ...
El objeto de estudio del control es el riesgo, tesis que nace tras la separación entre la propiedad y el control (agente y principal). Aunque esto último no es visible con frecuencia en micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas (mipymes), la gestión del riesgo se identifica como una herramienta asociada a su permanencia, las cuales, por su naturaleza y recursos, presentan limitaciones para ser sostenibles. Objetivo: diseñar el hexágono de control organizacional como una propuesta metodológica para la gestión del riesgo en mipymes del sector manufacturero en Colombia. Metodología: el alcance es descriptivo, su método es mixto y el enfoque es cualitativo. Se capturó información de fuentes primarias (instrumento de medición) y secundarias.Resultados principales: se establecieron los propósitos, la estructura, los instrumentos del modelo y se testeó en estudios de caso. Conclusiones: se identificaron oportunidades de mejora en los controles estratégicos y los riesgos ambientales, sociales y tecnológicos, categorías relevantes para la sostenibilidad organizacional.
