Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The core competences of an organization are a product of the specialized resources and coordination abilities that it possesses and other organizations lack.
1. Specialized resources: Two kinds of resources provide an organization with core competences that give it a competitive advantage: functional resources and organizational resources. Functional resources are the skills possessed by an organization's functional personnel. Organizational resources are the company-specific skills and competence that give an organization a competitive advantage.
2. Coordination abilities: Another source of core competences is coordination ability. Effective coordination of resources leads to a competitive advantage.
