Abstract or Introduction
The main focus of the resource based theory of a firm is the acquisition of sustainable
competitive advantage over other firms in the industry (Olalla, 1999). The uniqueness of a
firm’s resources is considered as the basis for the strategic competitive edge achieved by the
firm (Acedo, Barroso, and Galan, 2006). The concept of corporate politics also suggest that
individuals express political behaviour targeted at acquiring power or a competitive edge over
other individuals aimed at achieving personal or group interests within an organization
(Vigoda, 2000). Thus this study seeks to explore a possible linkage between the themes of the
resource based theory and the expression of political behaviours within a firm.
