The evolutionary theory defines the firm as a set of essential skills, gained from its learning ability. The theoretical

Theory of Organizational Power

Max Weber (1947) in his classical organization theory exemplified power in an organization through the process of control. Weber related authority to legitimacy, implying that managers enjoy it by virtue of their position in the organizational hierarchy. Although legitimate authority itself is a power, an individual member of an organization without authority can also

Resource-based theory

According to resource-based theory, organizations that own “strategic resources” have important competitive advantages over organizations that do not.
