Abstract: The present study aimed to enrich knowledge production by developing and validating a tool for measuring the resource orchestration construct. Resource orchestration theory is increasingly staking its claim in management literature as an emergent theory for explaining how corporate strategy is translated into organisational outcomes. However, the lack of applicability and empirical validity is one of its most glaring shortcomings. As such, while the theory has inspired a growing body of research, knowledge production has been fraught with limited comparability due to a dearth of empirically validated measurement tools. We embarked on this task by critically reviewing extant literature on the definition, conceptualisation, dimensionalisation and measurement of the construct as an essential first step. We also examined conceptual models used in prior research. We then outlined our methodology to develop an inventory for the resource orchestration construct. We concluded the study by presenting and discussing our analysis of data. Lastly, we proposed future research trajectories. This paper proposed empirically validated resource orchestration inventory as a novel contribution to knowledge.
