2. Strategic capabilities are the ‘capabilities of an organisation that contributes to its long-term survival or competitive advantage. These are resources or internal competences that it has that are valuable to customers and its rivals do not have, or have difficulty in obtaining', (Johnson, Whittington, Scholes, Angwin and Regner (2014). Using examples from the world of business, evaluate how companies such as Amazon, Google, Disney or Nike, have used these strategic capabilities to create a strong and sustainable competitive advantage.

3. Porter (1985) in his description of generic competitive strategies refers to cost leadership as a strategic pathway to competitive advantage.
