Chapter 3 in Corporate Strategy, 2019, pp 33-53 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Developing a good corporate strategy is about matching corporate resources and capabilities to the opportunities that arise in the external environment. Companies have the greatest potential to create long-term value for their stakeholders and the broader society if they are really good at what they are doing. Or as Aristotle put it: “Where your talents and the needs in the world intersect, there lies your vocation.” In this chapter, we will first introduce a number of important concepts to analyze and describe corporate capabilities, including the resource-based view of the firm, core competences, dynamic capabilities, and parenting advantage, before we explain different complementary approaches to identify and evaluate a firm’s capabilities, such as functional benchmarking, analysis of corporate history, business model analysis, and parenting diagnostic.
