目的 - 本文的目的是基于市场份额、销售营业额和盈利能力的衡量，调查有形资源 (TR) 和无形资源 (IR) 的相对贡献以及公司绩效的能力。 设计/方法/途径 - 本研究采用了横断面调查研究设计。 Galbreath 和 Galvin (2008) 资源绩效调查问卷的修改版本共包括 45 个问题，适用于不同行业的 243 家土耳其公司。收集的数据通过层次回归分析进行分析。研究结果 - 研究结果表明，与 TR 相比，IR 和能力对公司绩效的贡献更大。然而，基于资源的理论将能力视为支持 TR 和 IR 开发和部署的最重要技能，与此相反，能力仅在相对于 TR 和 IR 的综合影响的盈利能力方面对公司绩效的预测提供了相当有限的额外解释力。 原创性/价值 - 绝大多数基于资源的经验观点 (RBV) 研究集中在发达国家，而对该领域之外的结果知之甚少。本研究采用土耳其商业数据库来评估 TR 和 IR 的相对重要性以及能力对土耳其企业绩效差异的影响，土耳其是 2016 年世界贸易第 17 大经济体。其次，在 RBV 文献中，有限的研究在同时考虑了公司可用的其他资源（即 TR 和 IR）的影响后测试了能力对公司成功的贡献。最后，本研究为高管和经理提供了实际贡献，他们必须为公司在竞争激烈的商业领域中生存和发展做出适当的决策。
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relative contribution of tangible resource (TR) and intangible resource (IR), and capabilities on firm performance based on the measures of market share, sales turnover and profitability.Design/methodology/approach - A cross-sectional survey research design was used in the study. The modified version of Galbreath and Galvin's (2008) resource-performance questionnaire which included a total number of 45 questions was applied on 243 Turkish firms operating in different industries. The data collected were analysed by hierarchical regression analysis.Findings - The findings revealed that IRs and capabilities contributed more greatly to firm performance compared to TRs. However, in contrast to the proposition of resource-based theory that views capabilities as the most important skills that underpin the development and deployment of both TR and IR, capabilities offered rather limited additional explanatory power to the prediction of firm performance only with respect to profitability against the combined effects of TR and IR.Originality/value - The vast majority of the empirical resource-based view (RBV) research concentrates on developed countries and very little is known about results outside of this domain. This study employs Turkish business databases to assess the relative importance of TR and IR and capabilities on performance differences among firms in Turkey which was the 17th largest economy in the world trade in 2016. Second, in the RBV literature, limited research tests the contribution of capabilities to firm success after simultaneously accounting for the effects of other resources (namely, TR and IR) available to the firm. Finally, this research offers practical contributions to executives and managers who have to make adequate decisions for firm survival and growth in the competitive business arena.
