Organization Core Competence

1)    Core competence refers to the management of combined numerous resources and skills in order to provide a potential access to the markets to gain a competitive advantage. It is true to say that an organization has to identify its underlying skills, knowledge, technology experience and abilities in order to set unique services and products to sphere head competitive advantage (Kahawatte, 2010). This can be achieved through a process of building up the resources and capabilities for any given organization.

2)    I agree that the capabilities of the core competencies serve a firm right over its rivals as they are able to invest in resources and time in a wisely manner that enables the company to figure out where their strengths lie (Ireland, Hoskisson & Hitt, 2012). This enables to company to maximize its abilities that emerge in a more successful way such as the Apple Company has done in innovation.

3)    It is true to say that various firms use the core competencies by implementing strategies of value creating and addition that results in customer’s satisfaction. These strategies have been used by the firms to determine who to serve as their need are addressed (Kahawatte, 2010). Products have been developed in a manner that customers who are targeted are reached and there is a continuous process of improvement, innovation, and upgrades in order to produce more superior products.

4)    It is true to say that capability is power or the ability to put resources together in order to perform objectively in any given ability. I agree that assets can be of no use if the inputs are of no value and no good use is put into them (Rothwell & Graber, 2010). On the other hand, competency refers to the ability to do things in a more efficiently and successful manner which includes prowess, mastery, and proficiency.

5)    I am in support of organizational capability is the ability of an organization to manage its resources such as the employees in order to gain a competitive advantage by a way of focusing its ability to meet the customers demand (Rothwell & Graber, 2010). This is done by putting together all the resources such as technology and staff to achieve it.

6)    Although various organizational departments have to work together to achieve its objectivity a firm’s capacity is reflected by the way resources are deployed in a more purposely integrated manner (Ireland, Hoskisson & Hitt, 2012). I agree that the process is complex as there are both tangible and intangible resources coming together over time. If an organization puts and nurtures its core competence then competitive advantage, the overall objective of the organization, returns above average and value creation are achieved.
