Jumping into the marketplace blind may set your organization up for failure. Establishing your place in the industry requires in-depth planning and a unique strategy to set yourself apart from your competitors. It is important to be creative and innovative when entering the market with a new product/service. There are many duplicates out there who have already established a customer base that have loyal ties to their organizations. You have to understand what your target market needs and how you can deliver a successful service or product different than what is already on the market. 

A VRIO framework analyzes the resources within an organization to exploit how they can gain a competitive advantage over their competitors. It measures how their internal resources add value, the rarity of it, how costly it is to imitate, and also measures how well organized the company is to capture value, and can they sustain a competitive advantage.
