Abstract
Based on the resource-based theory, this study analyzed cross-organization cooperation and resource value of hospital medical departments in the viewpoint of rare, irreplaceable, and inimitability of a resource base model developed by scholars Grant and Barney. We interviewed 10 respondents in three regional hospitals and analyzed the interview contents according to the model. The important results are twofold: (a) The rare and irreplaceable resources owned by hospitals relate to the competitive advantage of the hospital; (b) Hospital medical collaboration across organizational divisions or self-development and medical divisions in professional competence are positively correlated.
Highlights
A concept, “Hospital Medical Division Collaborating”, has become an important managerial strategy for hospitals
This study concluded the followings: (A) Medical division value and other core competencies are positively related to the value of hospitals and medical divisions when the hospitals own more core competence
Core competence is a combination of cross-business sector capacity in enterprises, and various business sectors have the skills, knowledge, interact with each other and the result of integration
Summary
A concept, “Hospital Medical Division Collaborating”, has become an important managerial strategy for hospitals. This study was based on a study by [1] who established a medical research model of resources value and rareness for across-organizations of medical divisions. There are differences between various types of hospitals in the domestic medical organizations. Based on the relation-ships between the use of medical acrossorganizational cooperation model and the resource-based theory, the research propositions can be developed. They are LVLRxLVHRxHVLR and HVHR (they will be explained )
