This document analyzes a company's resources and capabilities using the VRIO framework to determine if they provide a competitive advantage. Several resources like company culture, customer experience, global expansion, and strong supplier relationships are deemed valuable, rare, costly to imitate, and exploited by the organization, providing a sustained competitive advantage. However, some capabilities like product innovation, supply chain management, and information technology do not meet all the criteria and thus only provide a competitive disadvantage or parity.
