  • The strategic actions managers take link firm
    resources and capabilities. For example,
    investments in RD labs (managerial actions) are
    one mechanism that links the resource (engineers)
    with the firm capability (product innovation).
    This activity is important because when multiple
    resources and capabilities are aligned on a
    single goal, the firm may have a core competency.
    For instance, Canons ability in optics
    originates not just in the capability of its
    design engineers, but also in its precision in
    manufacturing. When a firms core competency is
    at the heart of the product it sells, that
    product can be considered a core product. In the
    case of Canon, optics are at the heart of such
    products as cameras, camcorders, scanners, and
    projectors.
