Abstract

The purpose of the research is to evaluate the effect of the elements of resource-based approach on the expert performance based on the focus competitive strategy in the non-metal mineral industry of the country. For this purpose, the approaches available in the areas determining the export performance were identified that included occasional approach, the approach of business interactions network, and the resource-based approach. In this study, using the resource-based approach, the researcher examines the relations between the elements of the resource-based approach of the organization, the competitive strategies and the performance that are the main components of the research.
