In the Environmental Model it is conceptualized that Resources are Homogeneous and Mobile. This creates an environment where all of the resources are the same and accessible for all firms. Therefore, a Sustained Competitive Advantage could not form.
In the Resource Model it is conceptualized that Resources are Heterogeneous and Immobile. This creates opportunities for sustained competitive advantage because all firms do not have equal access to all resources.

Value- Exploit Opportunities or neutralize threats
Rare- Among Competition
Imperfectly Imitable- If the resource is imitable it ceases to be rare.
Historical Conditions – firms cannot go back in time to duplicate historical impacts
Casual Ambiguity- if the firm itself cannot determine the source of competitive advantage, how can competing firms?
Socially Complex- Like Casual Ambiguity a competitive advantage arises without a great understanding. This time it has to do with a complex social phenomena for example Pixar.
In regards to leadership, one resource required in the implementation of almost all strategies is managerial talent (Hambrck 1987)
