Abstract: This study extends original insights of resource-advantage theory (Hunt & Morgan, 1995) to a specific analysis of the moderators of the capabilities–performance relationship such as market orientation, marketing strategy and organisational power. Using established measures and a representative sample of UK firms drawn from Verhoef and Leeflang's data (2009), our study tests new hypotheses to explain how different types of marketing capabilities contribute to firm performance. The application of resource-advantage theory advances theorising on both marketing and organisational antecedents of firm performance and the causal mechanisms by which competitive advantage is generated.
