Strategy for the development of algerian companies a perspective grounded in the resource and competence model

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to inspect the various strategic options available to Algerian companies to deal with the economic challenges they face. The following analysis employ two theoretical frameworks, namely the growth phase model of (Greiner, 1997), and the resources and competencies model (Barney,1991 ; Birger Wernerfelt, 1995), particularly the latter's relational perspective (Dyer and Singh, 1998). These two frameworks, taken together, enable us to gain a better understanding of the problem available, and consequently to identify the stage of growth of the Algerian company and propose the appropriate development modality at this juncture.
