This paper deals with the resource-based theory of competitiveness and especially with its dynamic aspect. This theory points out the significance of resources and capabilities management, but does not stress enough a very important segment of enterprise value, which concerns processes, informal networks, communication. Bearing in mind the above mentioned, the aim of this paper is to provide a framework for effective and efficient management of resources and capabilities, by introducing some ideas and postulates that Six Sigma concept stands for. The idea for this paper came up from a belief that Six Sigma concept can bring extra speed and quality into resource-based theory.
Key words: competition, resources, capabilities, structure capital, the Six Sigma concept.

SIX SIGMA FILOZOFIJA I TEORIJA KONKURENTNOSTI ZASNOVANA NA RESURSIMA: INTEGRALNI PRISTUP
Ovaj rad se odnosi na unapredjenje teorije konkurentnosti zasnovane na resursima. Ova teorija ističe značaj upravljanja resursima i sposobnostima, ali zanemaruje veoma značajan segment vrednosti preduzeća, koji se odnosi na procese, neformalne mreže, komunikaciju. Uvažavajući navedeno, cilj rada je da obezbedi okvir za efektivno i efikasno upravljanje resursima i sposobnostima, uvodjenjem ideja i postulata na kojima počiva koncept Six Sigma. Ideja za ovaj rad proističe iz verovanja da koncept Six Sigma može "uvesti" dodatno ubrzanje i kvalitet u okvir teorije konkurentnosti zasnovane na resursima.
Ključne reči: konkurentnost, resursi, sposobnosti, strukturni capital, concept Six Sigma
