This paper considers the role of strategic assets in the generation of company competitiveness. It takes the position that the resource‐based view/dynamic capabilities explanation of competitiveness is tautological and ex post facto in its approach and proposes that competitiveness is derived from permanent infrastructural characteristics of organizational design providing a source of a continuous stream of temporary strategic assets or successful products, services and processes.Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
