B) Intellectual property is the only advanced factor of production that is unique enough to capture long-term, sustainable competitive advantage.
C) Since most process knowledge and organizational architecture is purchased from outside providers, it can be copied by other firms and does not lead to the rarity necessary to result in long-term, sustainable competitive advantage.
