Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Two kinds of resources provide an organization with core competences that give it a competitive advantage: functional resources and organizational resources.
Functional resources: Functional resources are the skills possessed by an organization's functional personnel. For example, the skills embedded in Google's many different software engineering teams constitute its single biggest functional resource. The quality of 3M's many different R&D groups is the source of its continued growth.

Organizational resources: Organizational resources are the company-specific skills and competence that give an organization a competitive advantage. They include the skills of a company's top-management team, the vision of its founder or CEO, and the possession of valuable and scarce resources such as land, capital reserves, and plant equipment. They also include intangibles such as a company's brand name and its corporate reputation. For example, brand names, like Coca-Cola and Toyota, and reputations, such as Google's and Microsoft's, are organizational resources that are unique and difficult to imitate.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
