Big data analytics capabilities: a systematic literature review and research agenda (2017, background): “…the resource-based view of the ﬁrm, which posits that a ﬁrm may achieve sustained competitive advantage based on the bundles of resources and capabilities it has under its control, DCV attempts to explain how a ﬁrm maintains a competitive advantage in changing environments (Priem and Butler 2001).”
Creating dynamic capabilities to increase customer value (2011, background): “During the 1990s, the highly dynamic business environment challenged the original assumptions of the RBV, which are static and do not take account of market dynamism (Eisenhardt and Martin, 2000; Priem and Butler, 2001a, 2001b).”
New Firm Formation: A Dynamic Capability Perspective (2005, background): “…and Martin (2000) suggest that the traditional view of dynamic capabilities as vague, nonoperationalizable routines defined in terms of their effects on performance reinforce the criticism that the RBV and its extensions are untestable tautological and empirically (Priem and Butler 2001a, 2001b).”
Resource-Based Advantages in an International Context† (2008, background): “One potential reason for these results may be that resource-based theory does not do a good job of addressing the 196 Journal of Management / April 2008 issue of context specificity (Priem & Butler, 2001).”
Human capital convergences in intellectual capital and sustainability reports (2007, background): “…that could provide a competitive edge over the long term (Argyris, 1992; Argyris and Schön, 1996; Barney, 1991, 2001; Bontis et al., 2002; Grant, 1991, 1996a, b; Itami and Roehl, 1987; Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995; Priem and Butler, 2001a, b; Peteraf, 1993; Senge, 1990; Wernerfelt, 1984, 1995).”
The Resource-Based View: A Review and Assessment of Its Critiques (2010, background): “But the RBV itself does not provide the means for such alternative external determination (Priem & Butler, 2001b).”
Entrepreneurs’ Decisions to Exploit Opportunities (2004, background): “…of the resource-based view for research on the integrative mechanisms and orchestrating themes of resources (Barney & Griffin, 1992; Black & Boal, 1994; Grant, 1991; Miller, 1996; Priem & Butler, 2001), future research likely requires an investigation of three-way and higher order interactions.”
Effects of Firm R&D Investment and Environment on Acquisition Likelihood* (2006, background): “Priem and Butler (2001) argue that resources are differentially valuable across environments.”
Proximity as a Resource Base for Competitive Advantage: University–Industry Links for Technology Transfer (2004, background): “Priem and Butler (2001) and Bacharach (1989) reduce it to the statement that only valuable and rare resources can be sources of competitive advantage.”
