Abstract

This study extends the Dynamic Resource-based view, which suggests managerial processes as a source of resource heterogeneity between firms, to analyze the role that group dynamic processes may have in the identification of strategic resources. The paper contends that resource heterogeneity is not only determined by substantive characteristics of a management team, but also by the very process of the group decision process. Two different groups’ resource conceptualization processes were analyzed in search for the relationship between resource conceptualization process and the conceptualized set of resources. Contrasting group processes indicated differences in various group dynamic variables; deliberateness, cognitive overload, and cognitive and affective conflicts during the process of identifying strategic resources. The distinct group dynamics, in turn, determined diverse levels of understanding of the contribution of strategic resources to firm performance.
