The paper was published at the 16th IMP-conference in Bath, U.K in 2000.

This paper focuses on small and medium-sized companies who have received support fromthe government for development work. All companies acquired a new resource, but thesituations were found to differ in terms of how the new resource was fitted into the existingresource collection. In this paper, three such situations are analysed, and a taxonomy forclassifying such situations is suggested.
