Abstract

The resource theory of organizations is an influential theoretical framework for understanding how efficiency and effectiveness within organizations are achieved and how advantage might be sustained over time. This perspective focuses on the internal availability of resources in organizations. The theory assumes that organizations can be conceptualized as bundles of resources that those resources are heterogeneously distributed across organizations, and that resource differences persist over time (Eisenhardt & Martin, 2000).
