| Summary: | This paper focuses on applying the resource-based view (RBV) of firms to explain
performance in supporting industries in Vietnam. Specifically, we based our research on
the comprehensive framework of RBV and reviewed previous empirical researches before
deciding on adopting a dynamic capabilities approach to test relationships among
organisational capabilities, competitive advantage and performance. A multivariate
analysis of survey responses of 102 firms belonging to supporting industries in Vietnam
indicates that the organisational capabilities are related to the competitive advantage,
that the competitive advantage is related to performance, and that the competitive
advantage mediates the relationship between organizational capabilities and
performance. These findings have considerable implications for academics as well as
practitioners. Finally, this study also provides directions for future research.
