Abstract:
The relationship between company resources and company activities has become an important area of study in strategic management literature in the 21st century. The resource based theory posits that company resources are the critical sources of competitive advantage and superior performance in firms today. Meaningful business strategic decisions are therefore guided by the nature of the internal resources available in the organisation. To that end this paper seeks to explore the relationship between organisational resources and firm activities. This research was carried out among Small to Medium Enterprises in the manufacturing sector of Harare in Zimbabwe. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain data from a sample of 127 respondents. The results showed that there is a positive relationship between firm resources and firm activities (r = 0, 67). The coefficient of determination (r2=0, 51) shows that firm resources account for 51% of the variance in firm activities, and vice versa.
