In this post, I explain the concept of the Resource Based View (RBV) of the family

The RBV started in the late 1980s and early 90s but took off in the early parts of this century. It states that the success of a family is not so much about the operations but instead, possessing or having access to certain resources. In practice, the RBV of the family, in the medium and longer-term, is about having access to certain inputs. Why is this important? A family cannot run operations without the correct inputs.
