Abstract

This work aims to identify which resources and capabilities are strategic for the development and sustainability of companies’ businesses, in adopting the brand orientation as a source of competitive advantage. The authors used a qualitative method applying the basic technique of descriptive and exploratory character. Data collection was carried out based on in-depth interviews with six company executives with guidance for a consolidated brand, in the state of São Paulo. The work investigated what supports this orientation, based on the Resource-Based View, which argues that strategic resources and capabilities are the determinants of sustainable competitive advantage. They are: the organizational culture, the integrated organizational structure with the management area, and critical people representing the brand, as well as the ability to act consistently in the contact points and generate emotional and symbolic benefits for the stakeholders. Furthermore, it shows how they can interrelate, aiming at creating a sustainable competitive advantage for companies to develop their businesses. This work is relevant for those who intend to implement or are already implementing a strategy aimed at brand orientation, as the corporate brand valorization has been growing in the business world.
