Application the Resource-Based Theory to the Strategy and the Competitive Advantage: The Kaoshiung Port

Abstract
This study, based on the strategic analysis of resource-based theory, and a systemic framework of port strategy, is planed by cooperating resources, businesses, organization, coordination and control. In a great corporate strategy, all of these elements are aligned with one other. That alignment is driven by the nature of the firm¡¦s resources. The firm¡¦s resources are the unifying thread and, ultimately, determine the others (Collis & Montgomery, 1998).
Which to analyze Kaohsiung Port strategy gathered data from deep interview and second-hand materials. According to the survey, we judged the five elements of Kaohsiung Port to be ;the general nature of resources; the narrow scope of businesses; the large corporate office size; the transferring style of coordination mechanism; and the financial control system.
Thus, we suggest that the port enlarge the scope of businesses, reduce the size of corporate offices, and to revise the financial ¡]result¡^control system. These will make each element fit with its nature of resources, improve the consistency of each element, and create a synergy of strategy.
