However, the term resources is not a single entity, according to Amit & Schoemaker (1993), the term resources in an organisation can be divided into two distinct categories i.e, resources and capabilities. While in general definition both of the categories are actually the resources for the firm, but there is an inherent differentiation between them. According to Robert M Grant (2010), resources are something which is external to a firm, something which can be traded to different firms and is not restricted to any specific firm. However, the capabilities are something which is internal to the firm and as the name suggests, it is their capability of how they exploit the external resources and use the resources to their advantage by internal processes of the firm (Madsen and Walker 2003)
