Abstract

This academic paper aims to present the competitive advantage and performance of an organization based on the resource-based view theory. An organization can create a competitive advantage through using some unique abilities that are difficult to copy by other organizations or businesses. The competitive advantage of an organization leads to its performance. Based on the literature reviews, it has been found that an organization can gain competitive advantage through its abilities, which increases its innovative capability, dynamic capability, risk management capability, and supplier management capability. These capabilities lead an organization to be a sustainable organization because of its competitive advantage, highly dynamic performance, and intense business competition.
