Abstract

This chapter first defines the concept of core competence and discusses it in the context of e-business. It then presents the value chain concept as a way to analyze the individual steps in the value creation process. Thirdly, it introduces the virtual value chain concept and suggests ways for companies to leverage it for value creation. The chapter then describes the four virtual spaces of the ICDT (Information, Communication, Distribution, and Transaction) framework and indicates ways of using it when selecting activities suited for e-business. Finally, the move for businesses from managing an internal value chain to operating along a value network with external partners is highlighted.

Within the field of strategic management, there is a broad literature on the resource-based view. While there was already previous research on the resource-based view of the firm, most notably in 1984 with the article by Wernerfelt, B. (1984). A resource-based view of the firm. Strategic Management Journal, 5(2), 171–180, this approach became popular in the mainstream management literature through the work of Prahalad, C. K., & Hamel, G. (1990, May–June). The core competence of the corporation. Harvard Business Review, pp. 79–91, and Stalk, G., Evans, P., & Shulman, L. (1992, March–April). Competing on capabilities. Harvard Business Review, pp. 57–69. M. Peteraf provides a more recent academic perspective on the resource-based view in “The cornerstones of competitive advantage: A resource-based view”, Strategic Management Journal, 1993, 14(3), 179–191.
In the article “Towards a dynamic theory of strategy”, Strategic Management Journal, 1995, 12(8), 102–105, M. Porter attempts to reconcile the market-based and the resource-based views of strategy.
