Abstract: As an attempt to investigate the impact between resources and firm competitiveness, we operationalized a theoretical framework of the resource-based view theory along with its impact on competitiveness and empirically tested the three hypotheses derived from it. The framework links together resources which are physical capital resources (physical, technological, plant and equipment), human capital resources (training, experience, insights), and organizational capital resources (formal structure) and SME competitiveness. The results of the empirical study, involving a sample of 431 managers of SMEs, provided evidence for the direct contributions of the resources owed by the company and its contribution and impact in affecting competitiveness. This initial success, with the validated survey instrument of the importance of resources owed by the SME, may serve as the ground for further research in this area.
