- Artificial Intelligence in Government Services: A Systematic Literature ReviewPublication . Reis, João; Santo, Paula Espírito; Melão, NunoThe aim of this paper is to provide an overview on how artificial intelligence is shaping the digital era, in policy making and governmental terms. In doing so, it discloses new opportunities and discusses its implications to be considered by policy-makers. The research uses a systematic literature review, which includes more than one technique of data analysis in order to generate comprehensiveness and rich knowledge, we use: a bibliometric analysis and a content analysis. While artificial intelligence is identified as an extension of digital transformation, the results suggest the need to deepen scientific research in the fields of public administration, governmental law and business economics, areas where digital transformation still stands out from artificial intelligence. Although bringing together public and private sectors, to collaborate in the public service delivery, presents major advantages to policy makers, evidence has also shown the existence of negative effects of such collaboration.
- Artificial Intelligence Theory in Service ManagementPublication . Reis, J.; Santo, P.E.; Melão, NunoArtificial intelligence (AI) is expected to be more promising in the coming years, with, for example, notable gains in productivity, although there may be a significant impact on job reduction, which may jeopardize labor sustainability. Accordingly, there is a need to better understand this phenomenon and to analyze it in the light of a particular theory. However, there is a scarcity of AI theories in the service management literature. In order to obtain a better understanding of the subject, we have conducted a systematic review of the literature to provide a comprehensive analysis of the theories developed regarding AI in service management. The results have showed a wide range of theories, but not all directly related with AI; the latter are smaller in number making it difficult to draw a clear pattern. At current days, researchers are slowly advancing with new AI theories and moving away from those already in use, such as in computer science, ethics, philosophical theories, and so on.
- Contribution of wine tourism by the implementation of an urban vineyard in a Portuguese Historic Hotel: Challenges, perspectives, and impactsPublication . Jordão, António; Barroco, Cristina; Gonçalves, TiagoWine tourism is essentially tourism in rural areas linked to wine and vineyards. However, the dissemination of viticultural heritage and wine culture with the aim of contributing to a greater connection between tourists and wine sector, even in urban environments, is an option that has been increasing in some countries. In fact, wine tourism involves a wide ecosystem of actors, which can include the hotels located in the center of the cities. In addition, inside of some cities, it could be possible for some hotels to implement small-scales vineyards. These places could represent an agricultural, historical, and cultural heritage with enormous value which could also be used for tourist purposes. Thus, the main goal of this work is to present the experience and the technical challenges during the implementation of an urban vineyard in a Portuguese Historic Hotel located in the center of the city of Viseu. In addition, the activities related with wine tourism centered on the urban vineyard are shown. The strategy for the recovery of green spaces and the hotel's communication policy are also presented and discussed.
- Digital Transformation: A Literature Review and Guidelines for Future ResearchPublication . Reis, João; Amorim, Marlene; Melão, Nuno; Matos, PatríciaThe aim of this paper is to provide insights regarding the state of the art of Digital Transformation, and to propose avenues for future research. Using a systematic literature review of 206 peer-reviewed articles, this paper provides an overview of the literature. Among other things, the findings indicate that managers should adapt their business strategy to a new digital reality. This mainly results in the adaptation of processes and operations management. Scholars, for the other side, are also facing challenges, as prior research may not have identified all the opportunities and challenges of Digital Transformation. Furthermore, while the Digital Transformation has expanded to all sectors of activity there are some areas with more prospects of being developed in the future than others.
- Health and well-being tourism: analysis of motivational factors through spa experiencesPublication . Ferreira, Jéssica; Carvalho, Cláudia; Antunes, Joaquim; Costa, João; Fonseca, Inês; Fonseca, CátiaThe increase concern about health and disease prevention and the average life expectancy increase, in developed countries, are factors that have played an important role in changing the tourist demand for health and wellness destinations segments of great importance, with a significant impact on the economy and employment in the regions (Ministry of Economy, 2021). Thus, the objective of this work is to study the motivations of tourists who seek thermal spaces, so that the managers of thermal organizations are able to respond to the new demands of the market. Based on the knowledge of the different motivations, spa organizations will be able to adjust their offer to the demand needs.
- Impacts of artificial intelligence on public administration: A systematic literature reviewPublication . Reis, J.; Santo, P.E.; Melão, NunoThe advent of machines power-driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) have strongly influenced the world in the 21 st century. The future of AI is promising and is offering a wide range of opportunities for scholars and academics. Although the theme has received a considerable attention over the last years, much has been speculated and little is known about its impacts on the Public Administration. Thus, the purpose of this article is to make the result of those impacts less ambiguous. To this end, we have conducted a systematic review to provide a comprehensive analysis on the latest impacts of AI on the Public Administration. Our intent is to narrow the field of study, while AI is being continuously strengthened with new empirical evidences.
- Incentivos ao investimento e desenvolvimento empresarial – alguns resultados da aplicação do SIRPublication . Amaro, Suzanne; Robalo, AntónioSão apresentados os resultados de uma investigação empírica sobre a aplicação do SIR – Sistema de incentivos regionais na região Dão-Lafões. É feita uma descrição sumária da região e do programa em causa (SIR). Com base numa amostra relativa a 43 projectos de investimento, são testadas hipóteses relativas aos resultados do programa na dinâmica empresarial, especificamente, quanto ao número de postos de trabalho criados, quanto às diferenças na produtividade e nos resultados ante e pós investimentos e ainda quanto à relação entre o montante do investimento e a magnitude da variação ocorrida na produtividade e nos resultados.
- As medidas de apoio à Covid-19 nas agências de viagensPublication . Loureiro, Ana Cristina; Duque, Ana Sofia; Vicente, MargaridaO impacto económico que o surto de Covid-19 teve no setor do turismo, a incerteza da sua duração e o agravamento dos seus efeitos nas empresas, justificaram a criação de várias medidas de apoio à manutenção do emprego e à mitigação de situações de crise nas empresas. Este estudo procura identificar os apoios que o Governo português disponibilizou às agências de viagens, analisar aqueles que foram mais adotados e estudar os principais efeitos da pandemia Covid-19 neste segmento turístico. A recolha de informação foi feita através do método de inquérito por questionário, recorrendo-se a escalas previamente testadas na literatura. O inquérito online foi realizado entre os meses de abril e agosto de 2021 e foram obtidos 68 questionários válidos. É possível constatar que as agências de viagens se viram obrigadas a adaptar às exigências impostas pela imprevisibilidade e agravamento da pandemia Covid-19. Os resultados mostram que as principais medidas adotadas foram o layoff, o programa apoiar, a linha de apoio à tesouraria para micro e pequenas empresas do turismo Covid-19 e a linha de apoio à economia Covid-19: agências de viagens e operadores turísticos. As agências de viagens classificam os apoios disponibilizados pelo Governo português como insuficientes e apontam outras ajudas que deviam ser fornecidas pelo Estado. Conclui-se ainda que, neste período de pandemia, as agências aproveitaram para implementar medidas de segurança e apostar em ações de formação para o desenvolvimento e atualização de competências dos seus colaboradores.
- Omni-Channel Service Architectures in a Technology-Based Business Network: An Empirical InsightPublication . Reis, João; Amorim, Marlene; Melão, NunoThis article investigates the existing omni-channel service architectures in the front-office of technology-based business networks. It discusses the implications from the existing alignment between the network-preferred channel with other channels and clients. The methodological approach is qualitative, exploratory in nature, and employs case study research in a large private retail bank in Portugal. It includes multiple sources of data collection for corroboration purposes, including semi-structured interviews, direct observation and institutional documents. Although we have identified four types of omni-channel architectures in a business network context, the case analysis revealed that only two of them meet all the requirements, namely: the mixed services and pure virtual services. For academics this is the first attempt to discuss a growing topic in the operations management literature. Thus, this study may also help practitioners to understand the challenges they may have to deal with an omni-channel strategy in a business network context.
- Perception of the image of thermal spas in PortugalPublication . Teixeira, Francisca; Fassarela, Ana; Sousa, Alda; Costa, João Pedro; Antunes, JoaquimThe image of destinations is of great importance in the process of developing tourism for a location, acting not only as a way of differentiating itself from its potential competitors, but, mainly, as an attempt to provide economic support for the sustainable development of the destination (Chagas, 2009). The spa sector in Portugal assumes a growing importance in regions with low population density, where most of the resorts are located, as it is sometimes the main employer in the region (Hofer, et al. 2012; Costa & Antunes, 2022). Thus, the main objective of this study is to evaluate the determinants of the image of a thermal destination in Portugal, in order to improve or (re)position the image of the destination efficiently.
