Abstract
Employees are a strategic resource for agribusiness firms to achieve sustained competitive advantage (SCA). The resource-based theory (RBT) has emerged as a useful framework to analyze the significance of the human resource system in achieving SCA. However, few empirical studies in agribusiness provide evidence of a relationship between human resource system and SCA. This paper builds off our 2005 case study exploring human resource manage- ment and sustained competitive advantage. It provides an in depth review of the RBT and develops a framework by which agribusiness scholars might operationalize the RBT for both applied research and guidance for managers.
