The use of the Resource-Based View (RBV) in examining the tangible and intangible resources, in terms of whether it is Valuable, Rare, Inimitable, and with Organizational Support, (VRIO characteristics) is a novel approach, adopted in this study. It is novel, because, it offers a new paradigm shift in the theoretical assessment to analyze project management resources in a more holistic and comprehensive manner, from a RBV/VRIO perspective and to examine its impact on competitive advantage.
