Static equilibrium logic

o (Preferences and productive knowledge are treated as given à WTP, OC etc. depends on preferences of consumers and is fixed).


Firm is treated as a unitary agent

o (Value appropriation within the firm is ignored à one person who is completely rational, but a firm is not one person; within a firm there are conflicts of interest, for example employees and stakeholders)

Opening the black box of the firm -> related to firms is treated as a black box


From statistic to dynamic arguments -> related to static equilibrium logic


Incorporating managerial and organizational processes  -> is basically try to talk more to language of day-to-day manage.

How does the Low Church RBV explain performance differences?

- Switch from individual resources (VRIN) to a more static view in terms of dynamics at the collective level:
o (Investment in building) collective knowledge
o (Process of) organizational learning


- To capture and explain these things we need to move from an equilibrium to an evolutionary logic.
