Evaluation of Zappos.com’s sustainable competitive advantage

You need to draw on ideas from the Resource Based View (RBV) literature, and appropriate evidence from the case study provided, to evaluate Zappos.com’s sustainable competitive advantage. The key to doing well is to demonstrate that you can use these theoretical ideas and apply them; as you have been doing in the seminars.

Please note that your assignment MUST be written around the evidence in the case study provided. There is no need to do any additional research on Zappos.com, and we are not interested in what Zappos.com is doing now. All evidence drawn from the case study must be appropriately referenced, as should all of the academic ideas that you draw on. All citations (in text references) of the case study must include the page number from the case that you are referring to.

Assignment Learning Objective: To demonstrate your ability to apply concepts from the module to an organisation or firm, to undertake a theoretically informed analysis and to draw conclusions that link the topic of study to the objective of sustaining competitive advantage. For this essay you will be required to independently investigate the academic literature on the topic and apply your knowledge of this literature to the organisation.
