A manager should assess the competitive power of a company’s resources and capabilities by applying the VRIN tests for sustainable competitive advantage. VRIN stands for Valuable, Rare, Inimitable, and Nonsubstitutable. If a resource or capability passes the first two tests, this concludes that the resources or capabilities can support a competitive advantage. The last two tests define whether the advantage can be sustained. A resource or capability is seen as valued if it relates closely to the company’s strategy. When this is the case these assets are perceived as rare when they are not widely available. Resources and capabilities are perceived as inimitable if they are hard to copy and being non-substitutable if there are no threats of substitutes
