- Absorptive capacity and cooperation evidence in innovation from public policies for innovationPublication . Moura, Dulcineia Catarina; Madeira, Maria Jose; Duarte, Filipe A P; Carvalho, Joao; Kahilana, OrlandoPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to better understand whether firm cooperation and absorptive capacity foster success in seeking public financial support for innovation activities and, by doing so, how they contribute to innovation output. Design/methodology/approach – The authors therefore extend the existing literature focusing on the effects of cooperation and absorptive capacity on specific public financial support for innovation activities in Portuguese firms from local or regional government, central administration and the European Union by using available data from the Community Innovation Survey CIS 2010 and the application of logistic regression models. The empirical analysis enabled a better understanding of the positive relationship of the variables that determine the form of public financial support in the integration of incentives within firms to stimulate innovation. Findings – Therefore, as the level of absorptive capacity in Portuguese firms increases, so does the demand for benefits from public financial support to stimulate innovation from the European Union also increases. The same analysis, now considering the determinant cooperation, notes the positive effects of institutional sources of information and cooperation, in the propensity for seeking public financial incentives from the Central Administration and the European Union. As for internal information and cooperation sources, they are positively related to the integration of incentive measures from the local or Regional Administration and Central Administration. Originality/value – The paper presents results that allow us to propose some suggestions that both the firms and those responsible for the implementation of public policies can undertake to increment innovation performance.
- Análise agroecológica de caroços de cereja liquefeitos utilizando FTIR-ATRPublication . Dulyanska, Y.; Esteves, Bruno; Guiné, Raquel; Ferreira, José; Domingos, Idalina; Lopes, Rogério; Lima, Maria; Correia, Paula; Fragata, Anabela; Ferreira, Manuela; Barroca, Maria João; Silva, Aida; Lopes, Luísa P. CruzA agroecologia, combina princípios ecológicos com práticas agrícolas, tem ganho crescente relevância no desenvolvimento de práticas sustentáveis. Esta área valoriza não apenas a produção eficiente de alimentos, mas também a utilização responsável e inovadora dos resíduos agrícolas. Neste contexto, a análise de produtos derivados de cultivos frutícolas, como a caroço de cereja (Prunus avium L.), mostra ser uma área promissora para a identificação de novas estratégias de valor acrescentado. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o material liquefeito de caroço de cereja doce (Prunus avium L.) e apresentar novas estratégias de valor acrescentado para as possíveis transformações deste produto. Utilizando a espectroscopia FTIR-ATR, foram investigados tanto o material liquefeito quanto os resíduos sólidos resultantes destas liquefações, além do material original de Prunus avium L. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que o material original e o resíduo sólido liquefeito apresentam espectros semelhantes, enquanto as principais diferenças foram observadas entre o material original e o material liquefeito. Estas diferenças indicam potenciais caminhos para o aproveitamento eficiente e sustentável dos resíduos, promovendo a valorização de subprodutos agrícolas e contribuindo para um modelo de produção mais ecológico e economicamente viável. Desta forma, este estudo insere-se na linha de pesquisas que visam fortalecer a sustentabilidade na agricultura, através da inovação e da otimização dos resíduos agrícolas.

- Apoio da comunidade residente ao desenvolvimento turístico sustentável: um modelo de equações estruturais aplicado a uma cidade histórica do Norte de PortugalPublication . Rodrigues, Ana; Vieira, Isabel; Marques, Carlos; Teixeira, MárioEste estudo investiga os inter-relacionamentos entre a ligação à comunidade, o envolvimento na comunidade, a gestão do poder público (GPP), os benefícios e custos percebidos do turismo e o apoio ao desenvolvimento turístico sustentável (DTS). Foi adoptada uma metodologia quantitativa sendo a recolha de dados feita através de um questionário aplicado pessoalmente a uma amostra de 300 residentes da cidade histórica de Lamego, no Norte de Portugal. Para analisar os relacionamentos propostos foi usada a técnica de modelos de equações estruturais. Os resultados mostram que a ligação à comunidade e a GPP na actividade turística exercem uma influência positiva e significativa nos benefícios percebidos do turismo. O efeito do envolvimento da comunidade no apoio (dos residentes) ao DTS foi suportado. No que diz respeito aos impactes do turismo, este estudo sugere, também, uma influência positiva entre os benefícios percebidos e o apoio ao DTS. Os resultados reforçam a importância de analisar a percepção dos residentes no planeamento e tomada de decisão de políticas para o desenvolvimento do turismo.
- Azulejaria Urbana - Inventariação e Catalogação do Azulejo de Fachada em LamegoPublication . Rodrigues Paulo, Vítor Manuel; Marques dos Santos, PaulaA presente dissertação apresenta-se como um projeto colaborativo e dedica-se ao estudo da azulejaria de fachada estabelecendo como barreiras cronológicas o século XIX e inícios do século XX. Como barreiras geográficas compreende a azulejaria presente na freguesia de Lamego (Almacave e Sé), abrangendo todo o revestimento cerâmico presente em dez ruas da freguesia acima referida. Servindo de pilar de sustentação ao presente trabalho, decorreu um amplo processo de inventariação, onde foram recolhidos todos os dados e feito um registo fotográfico do azulejo de fachada desta freguesia, para que se efetuassem fichas de catálogo, que servem como produto final à instituição acolhedora, e de base para o desenvolvimento da componente correlativa com o enquadramento teórico. Baseado numa ideia de “missão cultural” tem como objetivos alertar para o problema da preservação e promover a (re)valorização deste património, com foco para as fachadas urbanas do seculo XX. No projeto destaca-se a necessidade de dar visibilidade ao azulejo como marca da evolução artística patrimonial e cultural da cidade, alcançando assim um nível de popularidade e renovação, em que, se justifica a sua preservação e proteção. Procurar-se-á determinar se, este tipo de património está inventariado e se é uma realidade em risco e se carece de proteção por parte dos proprietários das autoridades municipais, contra as principais ameaças que enfrenta, nomeadamente o furto, a degradação intencional, motivada por vandalismo, ou por intervenções no edificado que não foram previamente acauteladas. Com o que se foi verificando “In Situ” apurou-se que este património, se encontra em risco, apesar de lhe ser reconhecida a dimensão e a diversidade local deste património azulejar, e que o legislador acautelou para evitar a destruição patrimonial, dotando os municípios de meios de intervenção no quadro das suas competências em sede de licenciamento de operações urbanísticas. Aconselha-se ainda, todos os agentes interventivos neste tipo de património, a procurarem soluções e aconselhamento, ao nível de técnicos e técnicas de conservação e restauro, nomeadamente junto das próprias autarquias, ou na n a Direção Regional da Cultura do Norte (DRCN) ou até procurando apoio no museu nacional do azulejo, (MNa) e no projeto “SOS Azulejo” entre outros.
- Barriers to innovation activities as determinants of ongoing activities or abandonedPublication . Duarte, Filipe A P; Madeira, Maria Jose; Moura, Dulcineia Catarina; Carvalho, Joao; Moriera, Jacinta RaquelPurpose – This paper aims to analyses barriers as a determinant of ongoing or abandoned innovation activities. The literature exploits barriers as the nature of innovation and its influence on firm’s. The main focus is the Portuguese SMEs and the impacts that act as barriers in the development of innovation activities. Design/methodology/approach – The database was obtained through the Community Innovation Survey 2010 (CIS 2010) that was coordinated by EUROSTAT. In this sense, a logistic regression model is proposed, which makes it possible to analyse the relations between three or more variables, depending on whether the relationship is one of dependence or interdependence, thus allowing the application of distinct statistical techniques, using 6,160 firms Findings – There are several sources of information that are associated with the development of innovation projects. Practical implications – The importance of barriers to the development of innovation activities, as well as it being a decisive factor in the impediment to and abandon of the same, was noted. Originality/value – This study also demonstrated that each case is different and that a barrier in one firm can at the same time be a window of opportunity for another firm.
- Barriers to Innovation and Innovative Performance of Portuguese FirmsPublication . Madeira, Maria Jose; Carvalho, Joao; Moreira, Jacinta; Duarte, Filipe A P; Filho, FlavioThis paper aims to identify and analyze the main limiting factors to innovation performance in terms of product and process innovation. The limiting factors to innovation, difficult the innovation process of a firm and consequently influence its innovation performance. Thus, it is intended with this essay to develop a theoretical support based on current reference approaches, corroborated by an empirical support which allows identifying and analysing the restraining factors of innovation activity and of innovation performance. The database is extracted from the Community Innovation Survey - CIS 2010, conducted under the responsibility of the Office of Planning, Strategy, Evaluation and International Relations/Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education (GPEARI/MCTES), in collaboration with the National Statistics Institute (INE), under the supervision of EUROSTAT. In order to identify the limiting factors to innovation performance a logistic regression model concerning the barriers to innovation is performed. The analysis suggests that several barriers to innovation have influence on the Innovative performance of Portuguese firms. These results may be due to the fact that the barrier of perception stimulates the firm to overcome these difficulties, promoting the internal propensity to innovate. The most important barriers perceived in the study are: high innovation costs, perceive uncertainties in the demand and the market for new goods and services and show a lack of qualified personnel to carry out innovation activities and a lack of market information are less likely to innovate than firms that do not experience these difficulties.
- Barriers to Innovation and the Innovative Performance of Portuguese FirmsPublication . Madeira, Maria Jose; Carvalho, Joao; Moreira, Jacinta Raquel; Duarte, Filipe A P; Filho, Flavio de São PedroThis paper aims to identify and analyze the main limiting factors of innovation performance in terms of product and process innovation. The limiting factors to innovation make the innovation process of a firm difficult, which influences its innovation performance. The goal of this essay is to develop a theoretical support based on current reference approaches, corroborated by empirical support, which allows for the identification and analysis of the factors that restrict innovation activity and innovation performance. The database is extracted from the Community Innovation Survey - CIS 2010, which was conducted under the responsibility of the Office of Planning, Strategy, Evaluation and International Relations/Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education (GPEARI/MCTES), in collaboration with the National Statistics Institute (INE), under the supervision of EUROSTAT. We have developed a logistic regression model that highlights the barriers to innovation and identifies the factors that limit innovation performance.The analysis suggests that several barriers to innovation influence the Innovative performance of Portuguese firms. These results may be attributed to the fact that perceived barriers stimulate the firm to overcome these difficulties, which promotes the internal propensity to innovate. The most significant barriers identified in the study are the following: high innovation costs and perceived uncertainties in both the demand and market for new goods and services. This study shows that firms that do not have either qualified personnel to carry out innovation activities or sufficient market information are less likely to innovate than firms that do not experience these difficulties.
- Business intelligence and sustainable development goals: data-driven strategiesPublication . Mota, Miguel Ângelo Sousa Dias Ferreira da; Sequeira, Romeu; Pinto, Agostinho Sousa; Costa, Eusébio; Costa, RuiThis exploratory study, based on a preliminary literature review, examined the role of Business Intelligence (BI) in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A qualitative approach was adopted, involving a detailed analysis of existing publications to identify how BI can transform large amounts of data into strategic information, influence critical decisions across different sectors, and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs. The integration of BI into SDG strategies and implementation was assessed as an important step forward in addressing global challenges and providing more effective solutions to complex problems. The study suggests that BI can be a driver of sustainable development, improving decision-making based on concrete data to support the SDGs. However, due to the exploratory and preliminary nature of the literature review conducted, the conclusions presented should be considered indicative and subject to confirmation through further research. The work highlights that the effective application of BI, using data to generate strategic intelligence, can lead to significant progress towards a more sustainable and innovative future. It emphasises the importance of overcoming technical constraints and developing analytical skills to maximise the potential of BI to drive sustainable and innovative development on a global scale.
- Certification of Portuguese companies as an inducer of profitability: A panel data approachPublication . Dos Santos, Anabela Saraiva; Pinto, António; Manuel Nogueira Reis, Pedro; Neves, M. ElisabeteWith the globalization and internationalization of markets, companies need to be more competitive and offer high-quality guarantees to consumers, suppliers, banking institutions, and shareholders. Thus, the objective of this paper is to measure the impacts that these guarantees, analyzed through quality management, environmental management, and management of occupational health and safety standards, will have on the return on assets (ROA) of companies classified by sector of activity, considering each of the certifications individually and as a whole. The panel data approach methodology was used for 10 years in Portuguese- certified companies between 2010 and 2019. The Chow test, the Breusch-Pagan, and the Hausman test were applied to identify a more feasible model between the pooled OLS and the random or fixed effects model. Furthermore, the cluster-robust standard errors model was applied. The results show the existence of synergies when adopting more than one certification to improve firm performance. Moreover, the single certification estimate by sector results are significant and can be positive drivers of profitability, but only for companies in the manufacturing industries related to natural resources. However, they trigger negative results in the accommodation, catering, and information and communication sectors.
