Put generic dashboard templates in competitive disadvantage because they are useful but widely copied; cloud hosting expertise in competitive parity because it is valuable and common; an industry benchmark dataset in temporary advantage because it is valuable and rare but entrants can acquire data; and embedded workflow integrations in sustained advantage because they are valuable, rare, hard to copy and operationally supported.”

Questions fréquentes
Can data be a VRIO resource?
Yes, when it is valuable, difficult to obtain or reproduce, and the organization can turn it into decisions or product value.
