The concept of Resource Based View (RBV) has been around for a while according the which, firms must be judged on the value they have added vis-à-vis the resources on hand. Thus business research was conducted to test this theory and it tested managers’ ability to be fungible across domains- finance, brand and human resources.

The business analysis used the regression tool and realized that experienced producers did best as opposed to rookies when they were working with established stars on lavish budgets.
