Summary:

This Data Challenge guides students through the application of the resource-based view framework to decision making when developing and sustaining competitive advantage in increasingly competitive markets in dynamic environments. During this challenge, students are encouraged to consider the intended use of resources and to assess the ways in which available resources may be repurposed, reconfigured, or developed to create new opportunities in the market and to develop dynamic capabilities in pursuit of improved performance. Students are asked to analyze the industry and market data and to review them in conjunction with the firm's financial performance indicators across three scenarios to propose final recommendations for a 5-year strategic development plan. The story revolves around an imaginary small business, which represents a cluster of new businesses within satellite technology-based spinoffs that have rapidly spread among UK-based space organizations. The main challenge the company faces is the limited application of its resource base. Although they often possess substantial tangible resources (e.g., facilities, equipment), and intangible assets (e.g., knowledge, expertise), firms like Red Dwarf Satellites are struggling to see the use of their resources beyond the space industry. This fact potentially puts them in a vulnerable position, making it difficult to maintain and further develop their competitive advantage when the environment is rapidly evolving.
