Innovation has been the source of businesses competitive advantage, but it is not restricted to technological innovations, and thus marketing innovation also plays a central role. This is a significant topic in the marketing field and not yet deeply analysed in academic research. The main objective of this study is to understand what factors influence marketing innovation and to establish a business profile of firms that innovate or do not in marketing. We used multivariate statistical techniques, such as, multiple linear regression (with the Marketing Innovation Index as dependent variable) and discriminant analysis where the dependent variable is a dummy variable indicating if the firm innovates or not in marketing. The results suggest that there are several factors explaining marketing innovation, although in this study, we find that the factors contributing the most for marketing innovation are: the Organizational Innovation Index, customer and\/or user suggestions, and intellectual property rights and licensing (IPRL). Most of the literature has studied these factors separately. This research studied such factors together, and it is clear that both organizational innovation and IPRL play an important role that drives firms to innovate in marketing, which differs from some literature; customer suggestions help in the process of marketing innovation, as some authors argue that customers do not always know what they want until they have it. In parallel, this study proved to be useful in understanding that the different values for the Marketing Innovation Index display no influence on the results, since they were equivalent when a dummy variable (innovated\/not innovated in marketing) was used as a dependent variable. In practice, we realize that the factors are useful to clarify what Portuguese firms innovate or not in marketing, with no different results when we the four marketing innovation levels (design, distribution, advertising and price) are considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mca24040099","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,22]],"date-time":"2019-11-22T09:02:52Z","timestamp":1574413372000},"page":"99","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Factors for Marketing Innovation in Portuguese Firms CIS 2014"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Patr\u00edcia","family":"Monteiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management and Technology, Polytechnic of Porto, Rua do Curral, Casa do Curral, Margaride, 4610-156 Felgueiras, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4693-4867","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aldina","family":"Correia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management and Technology, Polytechnic of Porto, Rua do Curral, Casa do Curral, Margaride, 4610-156 Felgueiras, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3644-3992","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"V\u00edtor","family":"Braga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management and Technology, Polytechnic of Porto, Rua do Curral, Casa do Curral, Margaride, 4610-156 Felgueiras, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2019, November 20).
