Abstract
Trade contacts within the intermediate market or Intermediate Trade Contacts (ITC) are transactional capital resources. They are measured by business-to-business purchases or sales. The objective of this work is to evaluate the impact of ITC sales on Hotels and Restaurants ‘HotRests’ sustained competitive advantage in the EU countries. In a resource-based view framework, only valuable (above-normal) and rare (concentrated) ITC become relevant. Using EU input-output tables and applying the supply-driven model, the relationships between the multiplier and the valuable and rare resources have been identified. The main result is that ‘HotRests’ have the chance to manage their business–to–business relationships as a resource asset-flow to speed up innovation processes and defend their competitive advantage.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
