SAIC seems to be a very good example what and how the Resource-Based model firm should operate; a prime example of how the company is currently operating can be seen by the following: on May 24, 2012, SAIC was awarded a prime contract by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to provide linguist, operational, translation and management services in support of the National Media Exploitation Center (NMEC). SAIC will provide linguistics and other translation services to the government under a five-year Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) contract worth $33 million. The award calls for SAIC to assist the NMEC, which provides collection, processing, exploitation and dissemination for intelligence, defense, homeland security, law enforcement and other U.S. federal agencies. SAIC will provide linguist, operational, translation and management services as required, including: translating written, electronic and multi-media material into English or from English into a foreign language; editing; database
