From the analysis, this study develops a theoretical recommendation regarding the use of RBT theory particularly in public administration research.Īrmstrong, C. Thomas Kuhn suggests that theories can be developed, thus, despite its current weakness, RBT can still be improved by increasing accuracy of its key concepts. And the vagueness of concepts creates a tautology problem in RBT that the theory cannot be verified or falsified. In addition to that, scholars find difficulty to define or operationalize several key concepts in RBT leading to obstruction in its ability to be tested empirically. Inclusiveness of RBT is suggested to be a sign of tautology as the theory has a very broad definition of resources hence can embrace all phenomena in the field of organization’s strategic management. Nonetheless, the study also sheds some light on the potential weaknesses of RBT. The findings have demonstrated that RBT has evolved, and it has become a better ‘puzzle solver’ as it provides a more comprehensive theoretical lens to analyze broader phenomenon of organization, particularly concerning its competitive advantage. Employing a critical literature review approach, this study identifies all articles related to RBT in the organization and management field from 1959 to 2021 and finds 141 articles. This study explores the evolution of resource-based theory (RBT) using the Thomas Kuhn cycle. However, RBT has been criticized due to its quality and deemed to be a theory that is tautological. Philosophy of the Social Sciences, 4(3), 380–397.Resource-based theory (RBT) has gained its maturity as a theory, and it has heavily shaped the path of research in the organization and management field.
