Optimizing Organizational Resources in the Digital Era: A Systematic Literature Review of Resource-Based View Applications

Abstract

The development of digital technology in recent years has changed the way organizations operate, innovate, and create value. This transformation has to do not only with the application of new technologies, but also with how organizations manage and optimize internal resources to improve efficiency, innovation, and competitiveness. This study aims to identify organizational resource optimization strategies in the digital era using the Resource-Based View (RBV) approach. Through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method for publications in 2020–2025, this study examines findings related to digitalization, human resource management, digital capabilities, and organizational innovation. The results of the synthesis show that digital technology strengthens the organization's ability to manage knowledge, increase collaboration, and accelerate decision-making. In addition, an adaptive organizational culture, employee digital competence, and innovative capabilities are important factors in maximizing the potential of resources. These findings confirm that RBV is relevant as a framework for understanding how organizations build dynamic capabilities and maintain a competitive advantage amid accelerating digital transformation.
