Resumo(s)
The theme of this dissertation is driven by the growing significance of sustainability
within the automotive industry. The main objective of this research is to explore how Green
Marketing enables competitive advantages from a B2B perspective, focusing on Ford Motor
Company. Despite extensive literature on sustainability and Green Marketing, there is a gap
in understanding how these concepts translate into competitive advantages in the B2B
context. The methodology involves conducting interviews with dealership managers and B2B
clients, framed by a theoretical model to investigate how Ford’s Green Marketing initiatives
leverage resources, market position and strategic performance. The results indicate that B2B
clients recognize the adoption of Green Marketing as a valuable competitive advantage and
that there is a gap between actual sustainable practices and client perceptions. This research
contributes by highlighting the importance of training dealers to communicate the value of
sustainability and demonstrating how environmental responsibility can enhance competitive
positioning. In conclusion, this dissertation provides actionable insights for automotive
managers, emphasizing the need for effective Green Marketing strategies to meet the
evolving demands of sustainability-conscious consumers.
