▁theory ▁defines ▁compet ence ▁as : ▁the ▁ability ▁to ▁sust ain ▁the ▁coordin ated ▁deployment ▁of ▁resources ▁in ▁ways ▁that ▁helps ▁an ▁organization ▁achieve ▁its ▁goals ▁( cre ating ▁and ▁distrib uting ▁value ▁to ▁customers ▁and ▁st ake hold ers ). ▁Compet ence - based ▁management ▁can ▁be ▁found ▁in ▁areas ▁other ▁than ▁strateg ic ▁management , ▁namely ▁in ▁human ▁resource ▁management . ▁ ▁As pect s ▁of ▁the ▁compet ent ▁organization ▁▁ ▁First , ▁compet ence ▁must ▁include ▁the ▁ability ▁to ▁respond ▁to ▁the ▁dynamic ▁nature ▁of ▁an ▁organization ' s ▁external ▁environment ▁and ▁of ▁its ▁own ▁internal ▁processes . ▁The ▁requirement ▁of ▁sust ain ability ▁in ▁the ▁above ▁definition ▁of ▁compet ence ▁en comp ass es ▁both ▁forms ▁of ▁dynamics . ▁To ▁be ▁sust ain able , ▁a ▁compet ence ▁must ▁respond ▁to ▁the ▁dynamics ▁of ▁the ▁external ▁environment ▁by ▁en abling ▁an ▁organization ▁to ▁maintain ▁its ▁ability ▁to ▁create ▁value ▁in ▁the ▁market place ▁even ▁as ▁changes ▁take ▁place ▁in ▁market ▁prefer ences ▁and ▁available ▁techn ologies . ▁S ust ain ability ▁also ▁requires ▁over coming ▁internal ▁organiz ational ▁dynamics ▁that ▁result ▁in ▁various ▁forms ▁of ▁organiz ational ▁entropy , ▁such ▁as ▁a ▁grad ual ▁loss ▁of ▁organiz ational ▁focus , ▁a ▁narrow ing ▁and ▁increasing ▁rig id ity ▁in ▁the ▁patterns ▁of ▁activity ▁the ▁organization ▁can ▁or ▁does ▁perform , ▁a ▁progress ive ▁lower ing ▁of ▁organiz ational ▁expect ations ▁for ▁performance ▁and ▁success , ▁and ▁the ▁like . ▁The ▁notion ▁of ▁organiz ational ▁entropy ▁reflect s ▁the ▁concept
