The correct answer is A. Consumers want more video-game systems than the company can make.

Explanation:

In the economy and related fields, a shortage occurs if the supply (units of a product available) is lower than the demand (consumers that want the product); this implies, the quantity of a product is not enough, and therefore just some consumers will be able to buy the product even if all want this product and can pay for it.

This situation occurs in "Consumers want more video-game systems than the company can make" because in this case, the number of consumers (demand) is higher than the number of video-game systems (supply) and therefore not all the possible consumers can have this product.

qaws [65]

Resources are any assets that a firm can draw on when formulating and implementing a strategy.

Resource based view is strategy based model that considers an organization's resources as a key to sustainable competitive advantage. The supporters suggests that a firm should look inside the company to find the sources of competitive advantage, instead of looking at the external competitive environment.

Tangible assets are physical things such as land, building, machinery, equipment etc. Organizations can easily acquire them in market, so they confer little advantage. Intangible are assets that have no physical presence, such as brand reputation, trademark, etc. They play a significant role in sustaining of a firm as its competitors can't acquire these internal assets.
