Slogan of BYD Energy Company – “New energy gives us new future”.
Mission of BYD Energy Company – Build your dream energy Company mission is
to provision of non-toxic energy with zero emission and zero pollution.

Core value of BYD Energy Company – innovation, Excellence, pragmatism and
passion.
Resource based view model – it is model which see resources as an key to superior
firm performance. If resources exhibits VRIO attributes then resources will enables company
to gain as well as sustain competitive advantages. Explanation of this, in relation of Build
Your Dream Energy Company are as follows :-
 Tangible – This is part of resources which provide assistance to an organisation in
gaining competitive advantages. Thus, in relation of BYD Energy Company their
tangible product will be Zero emission battery. From generation of energy and storage
its application respective business firm decided to offer zero emission energy solution.
Which will be environmentally friendly and provide assistance to respective company
in gaining competitive advantages and also fulfilling demand for environment friendly
products (Zhao and et. al., 2017). Thus, simply it can be said that physical resources
can bought within market so they confer little advantages to the business firm in long
run because competition can soon acquire identical assets. Apart from this, several are
also included in tangible assets such as building, machinery, equipment and capital.
 Intangible – These are everything else that has no physical nearness however can at
present be claimed by the organization. Brand notoriety, trademarks, licensed
innovation are for the most part impalpable resources. In contrast to physical assets,
brand notoriety is worked over quite a while and is something that different
organizations can't accepting from the market. Elusive assets for the most part remain
inside an organization and are the fundamental wellspring of feasible upper hand. In
relation of Build Your dream Energy company main intangible assets are innovation
which they are bringing i.e., From generation of energy and storage its application

assets, they couldn't utilize various techniques to outcompete one another. What one
organization would do, the other could just follow and no upper hand could be
accomplished (Michael, Storey and Thomas, 2017). This is the situation of
immaculate rivalry, yet certifiable markets are a long way from totally serious and a
few organizations, which are presented to a similar outside and serious powers (same
outer conditions), can execute various systems and outflank one another. Along these
lines, RBV accept that organizations accomplish upper hand by utilizing their various
packs of assets.
 Immobile - The second suspicion of RBV is that assets are not versatile and don't
move from organization to organization, in any event in short-run (Durand, Grant and
Madsen, 2017). Because of this fixed status, organizations can't repeat opponents'
assets and actualize similar systems. Immaterial assets, for example, brand value,
procedures, information or licensed innovation are normally stable.
