Fedex VRIO analysis

Give an explanation on the figure above

Answer 1

VRIo Analysis is nothing but evaluation of organisations based on four parameters:

1. Valuable
2. Rare
3. Imitable
4. Organized

Since resources like HR, IT, Technology received two No and two Yes it is termed as competitive parity which is substandard or average result.

Whereas all the core competencies above received all four Yes and hence termed as competitive advantage which means superior or best results . Hence, Fedex is way ahead of competition in terms of core competencies.
