In order to ensure success in the transformation process of a company’s management, leaders need to take into account certain factors that will help the company gain competitive advantage.

So change is an essential component of the evolution process of companies that put effort, time and resources into implementing an advantageous strategy, but, on the other hand, transformation can be the decay of an organization.

Abstract Nowadays companies are dealing with large amounts of data, not only for an important decision but also into their day-to-day activity. In order to handle properly these large volumes of data, from different sources without missing the opportunities, companies need to figure out how to manage big data to their advantage. Embracing the advantages of big data is not enough because in order to face the challenges of the business environment, investing in digital technology is no longer seen as giving a competitive advantage, is seen as a standard. Also in the path of evolution, the interest of companies (profit) on one side and the interests of society (social and environmental) on the other side should find a common point in order to pursue their interests in a way that will not affect future generations. Sustainability is the approach towards this future, which allows companies to grow and make profits, but at the same time provides benefits for the society.

New, interdisciplinary approaches, constantly adapted and sustainable both at the micro and the macro levels are required. Within a company, change management is a systematic element of the strategic business process and involves the early identification of the opportunity of the employees’ development, courage, commitment and flexibility; under no circumstances should it be seen as a risk and instability factor, as it may be considered in the early stages.

This paper is part of our on-going work in the field of business performance analysis in e-environment. We put forward a framework that tries to link different aspects of performance analysis and to relate them to broader business environment on the one hand, and to the value of a company on the other. We illustrate the use of the proposed framework with a case study examining the Slovenian home-store company Merkur, which operates one of the best Slovenian on-line shops. The framework can also serve as a tool for an empirical analysis.

Competitive advantage is the ability of an organization to formulate a strategy that places it in a favorable position with respect to other organizations. It is not easy to make HR a source of competitive advantage for a company because it is related not only to ability and expertise, but also to personal factors such as values, perceptions, attitudes, personality and individual willingness to advance.
