| Abstract: | In contemporary analysis of sustainable competitive advantage, imperfectly imitable resources are essential. This study focuses on the last step of unwillingness to imitate due to institutionalized professional norms on product appropriateness. It bases on institutional theory and discusses the complex relationship between institutionalized norms, core competences and systematic differences in the willingness to imitate. |
