“…It plays a key role in an enterprise's learning capability (Leonard-Barton, 1992;Coff, 2002;Yam et al, 2004;Chen & Huang, 2009). Human capital resources containing education, training and experience are regarded as critical for creating a firm's competitiveness and value (Barney, 1991;Saridakis et al, 2017). Del Valle and Castillo (2009) suggested training as an investment in human capital, which helps enterprises acquire a competitive advantage that results in higher profitability.…”

While many studies have examined the relationship between investment in intangibles assets and performance in large corporations, current research is lacking in regard to intangible investments in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This study looks at SMEs in which intangible investments would usually be minor because they tend to consider intangible investment as an inefficient cost and concentrate on investments in tangible assets. This paper aims to contribute to the current literature and suggests that investment in the intangible assets of (human capital, advertising, R&D) is essential for SMEs pursuing superior firm performance. Actual data collected from 173 SMEs in Korea were analyzed employing hierarchical regression methodology. Results indicate that all three intangible resources have a positive effect on a firm's profitability and value. Interestingly, this research finds that investment in advertising has the most influential impact on a firm's profitability and value. This study has implications for SMEs in achieving their profitability and value. The results in this study highlight that intangible investment is not a waste of money for SMEs, and that business managers could strategically utilize these three key contributors (human capital, advertising, R&D) and adopt investment in intangible assets to accomplish their managerial goals.

“…Therefore, HR management gathers the RBV factors because the quality of human capital within organizational context is hard to imitate, valuable, rare, and non-substitutable. Saridakis, Lai, and Cooper (2017) add that highly developed, well designed, and sophisticated HR practices are more likely to be a source of competitive advantage as they meet RBV criteria. In the environmental context, human resource management may also play a strategic role in the relationship between the employment of environmental strategies and the achievement of sustainable competitive advantage.…”

ResumoO objetivo deste ensaio teórico é analisar o papel da gestão de recursos humanos (RH) para alcançar a vantagem competitiva sustentável (VCS) nas organizações, por meio da perspectiva da Visão Baseada em Recursos Naturais (VBRN). Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica de natureza exploratório-descritiva. Primeiro foram apresentadas definições-chave para identificar a VCS como sustentabilidade, desenvolvimento sustentável e sustentabilidade organizacional. Um quadro teórico foi desenvolvido integrando práticas de RH com estratégias da VBRN (prevenção de poluição, administração de produtos e desenvolvimento sustentável) para alcançar a VCS. A principal contribuição deste estudo é oferecer uma síntese integrativa sobre práticas de RH e estratégias da VBRN. Este artigo também agrega valor aos gerentes, apresentando formas de implementar o gerenciamento de RH para a realização da sustentabilidade organizacional.Palavras-chave: visão baseada em recursos naturais; gestão de recursos humanos; sustentabilidade; vantagem competitiva sustentável. AbstractThe aim of this theoretical essay is to analyze the role of human resource (HR) management to achieve organizational sustainable competitive advantage (SCA), through the Natural Resource Based View (NRBV) perspective. We performed an exploratory-descriptive bibliographic research. We first provide key definitions to identify SCA, such as sustainability, sustainable development, and organizational sustainability. We then developed a theoretical framework integrating HR practices with NRBV strategies (pollution prevention, product stewardship, and sustainable development) in order to achieve SCA. As results, a set of propositions regarding HR management and sustainability are offered to be empirically analyzed in future research. The major contribution of this study is to offer an integrative framework of HR practices and NRBV strategies. This paper also adds value to managers by presenting ways to implement HR management for organizational sustainability achievement.

“…It is linked to an important vein in the HRM literature which highlights the added value and strategic impact that HRM practices can have on the performance of an organization (Saridakis et al 2017). This evolution implies the transition from a process orientation to a results orientation, as well as aligning HRM practices with the strategy and objectives pursued by the administration (Barrette 2005).…”
