title = {Beyond the Management View: A Ressource-Centered Socio-Economic Perspective},
year = {2004},
note = {In the past fifteen years, the resource based view has experienced
enormous popularity and support. To the same extent that it has become
established as the dominating approach in management science, its
shortcomings are becoming more and more apparent. In this essay, we
discuss different schools of the RBV and some of their most
significant shortcomings. We believe that such shortcomings are the
result of a blurred and insufficient theoretical basis. While the
static versions of the RBV follow the neo-classical equilibrium model
too closely, the dynamic approaches (competence-based view, capability
approach) mix incommensurable elements of theory. To allow improved
reasoning and possibly the integration of resource-oriented approaches
we suggest socio-economics. Socio-economics offers a firm ground for
overcoming the discussed weaknesses of RBV and provides tie-in points
for the resource concepts of other disciplines. We thus plead for a
resource-oriented socio-economic perspective which goes beyond a
narrow management perspective and takes into account the social,
cultural and political embeddedness of the firm.},
