چکیده
Deligonul and Qavu^gil (1997) conduct a paradigm-level analysis of resource-advantage (R-A) theory. They argue that (1) Hunt and Morgan (1995) offer resource-advantage theory as a replacement for perfect competition theory, (2) a successful challenger to any theory must come from a new paradigm, (3) but both perfect competition and RA theory come from the same paradigm. Therefore, (4) the replacement thesis is dubious. We evaluate their argument.
