The operations of the firm are affected by the striking advances in globalization such as shifts in technology, stiff competition among business entities and new entrances within an industry. The firms including commercial banks in Kenya should therefore, have the ability to predict future trends in the external environment for survival.

Descriptive and explanatory research design was employed in the study. The research targeted all the commercial banks in Kenya.

Agreement to the most frequent responses to the statements on the study variables ranged between moderate and high extent. Based on results of hypotheses testing, external environment have no moderating effect on the relationship between resource isolating mechanism and sustainable competitive advantage.en_US
