Ah, the age-old question of how to beat the competition. I'd say the key is to focus on your people, your culture, and your cost structure. Those are the real differentiators, not some random natural resources. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go work on my company's interpretive dance team.

Natural resources? Really? I mean, sure, they can be important, but they're not really something a company can control or develop as a core competency. I'd go with B, C, and D.

Well, I definitely agree that cost leadership and organization culture are key elements for building a competitive advantage. But I'm not sure if human resource management would be considered one of the top three.
