摘要:The importance of organizational resources and capabilities are realized by business practitioners and researchers as they support firm performance and competitive advantage. However, what exactly core competence is not clearly understood since terms such as resource, capability and competence are used interchangeably by researchers. From this point forth, this article provides a framework for separating organization's core competencies from resource and capability. In the first part of the research the relations and interactions among resource, capability and competence is explained. In the second part core competence concept is described and three empirical determiners such as uniqueness, inimitability and extendibility is proposed to discriminate core competence from resources and competences. The relationship between innovation and core competence and past researches in the related literature is presented in the third part. After the role of human resources management capability is investigated in fourth part, the paper is completed by evaluation of the research findings, the limitation of the research and recommendations.
