Strategic Capabilities Example

Firstly let’s see what capability is.

Capability = Resource + Competence

 

For graphic designing company,

Resource = Having latest computer and software

Competence = Basic designing knowledge and knowledge of software working

 

The above capability will not give you competitive advantage over your competitors. To stand ahead of your competitor you will need strategic capabilities.

 

Strategic Capabilities = Basic capabilities & Resources (just like above) + Unique resources or Core Competences.

Unique Resources = Patent /Knowhow/ Copyright

Core Competence = Like Apple’s core competence is Innovation.

                                    Coca Cola have their formula of ingredients.

                                    Honda has their efficient engine.
