Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between intangible resources, namely the brand image, and competitive advantage through differentiation and market orientation. To this end, using a quantitative methodological approach, an empirical study was carried out with Portuguese companies exporting the footwear industry, to which a questionnaire survey was applied, resulting in a sample of 86 companies. Findings show that (1) the brand image has a direct, positive, and significant impact on market orientation and on competitive advantage through differentiation and that (2) market orientation has a significant impact on competitive advantage through differentiation.
