| Abstract: | Agribusiness firms are often faced with the challenge of strategically managing employees to
achieve a favorable position in the market (i.e. sustained competitive advantage). The
resource based view (RBV) has been given considerable attention in the strategic
management literature as a useful framework to analyze the significance of human resources
in achieving sustained competitive advantage. However, there are few labor management
studies in agribusiness that have used the RBV to provide evidence of a substantial
relationship between any particular personnel management practice and competitive
advantage. This paper provides an in-depth review of the RBV as a potential framework to
analyze labor management practices in agribusiness. A case study is used to illustrate the
application of this framework in the dairy industry and suggestions are made on how the
framework can be extended and operationalized to guide future research and management
practice in agribusiness |
