Sumario: | In proposing two evolutionary trajectories, we demonstrate some paradoxical aspects of strategic resources that contrast with current theorizing. First, we discuss how an abundance of resources can subject an organization to vulnerabilities, taking a firm from competitive strength to potential weakness. Second, we describe an opposite trajectory in which a lack of resources can lead to reactions engendering significant strengths. In both cases, the effects of resource abundance and poverty on executive perceptions and conduct, organizational arrangements, and strategic behavior can play important roles in trajectories of value creation and erosion. |
