2. They are superior to those of competitors in the area
Tradability - The firm create a contract to transfer ownership and allow use of the resource
- Contracts support borrowing resources (Licensing and franchising or contracts)
Closeness - Can be achieved through alliances enabling resource borrowing (Equity, Joint)
- M&As are complex and costly (used when extreme closeness is necessary)
Conditions for Integration 1. Low relevancy

3. High need for closeness

resources, and capabilities
