What we cite
- Knowledge as advantage — capabilities and products rest on what the organisation knows and can apply; connects to knowledge synthesis and committed institutional memory.
- Parallel in this corpus — KBV names the most valuable static/strategic asset in RBV vocabulary; organisational intelligence plays the same centre-of-gravity role for dynamic capabilities under change.
Corpus stance
Context — we cite KBV to anchor knowledge in mainstream strategy language; we do not reproduce Grant’s full theoretical programme here.
