This critique explores the potential impact of open-source software and computer-educated workers on improving business competitive advantage globally. It delves into the distinctiveness of resources, origins of advantage, high value, scarcity, appropriability, sustainability, substitutability, imitability, and mobility. Sources for achieving competitive advantage, such as inner potential versus explicit performance, causal ambiguity, necessary conditions, and industrial demand factors are discussed. The text also includes Porter’s reconsideration, managerial choices, attractive relative position, and structural determinants affecting the cost or buyer value of activities. Sustainable competitive advantage, firm success drivers, industry structure, initial conditions, and longitudinal development processes are examined.
