How does VRIO analysis help in identifying the core capabilities of an organization?

VRIO analysis helps in identifying the core capabilities of an organization by evaluating its resources based on four factors: Value, Rarity, Imitability, and Organization. This framework allows the organization to identify its strengths and weaknesses. If a resource is valuable, rare, hard to imitate, and the organization can exploit it, it can be considered a core capability. This analysis can also highlight areas where the organization may be lacking, preventing the allocation of resources to uncompetitive or underperforming areas.

It's important to understand VRIO in context. The outer shell of this diagram indicates your macro environment — the economy, technological environment, social trends, and political and regulatory climate. The middle circle is your micro- environment. These are potential products and new entrants that could substitute you, your competitors, and the relationship between suppliers and buyers. In the center lies your core resources, such as current employees, assets, and internal technology. This is the internal environment and also where VRIO falls. These resources are what you already have to set yourself up for success. Critically, a VRIO assessment could also determine what you lack so that you don't push resources that are uncompetitive or underperforming. (Slide 3)
