From the invitations to the choice of winners, the Oscars maintains the image of choosing its winners carefully through a rigorous voting process, creating the prestige of being a credible and professional award-giving body. In fact, actors and actresses themselves respect this air of prestige and exclusivity, that an actor/actress considers himself/herself a seasoned and skilled artist just by being nominated -- more so if chosen as winner -- by the Oscars (Elliott, 2006).

There are several characteristics of resources. First of all, they should have the capacity to generate value. In this case, they should lead to high margins, high sales, low costs and add financial value to a firm.
