The SMART methodologies and Start Up tools allow creating a commitment to the organization in a holistic vision, which is essential for local development. The 19 municipalities of the Douro region, part of the territorial structure of Intermunicipalities Community (CIMDOURO) have invested in the training of their employees with the aim of equipping them for the new technological realities in the strategic management of cultural projects. This training is based on simplification of processes and improvement of procedures, using digital platforms. The e-learning training took place from January to June 2023. Through online training, our goal is to identify the needs of organizations, particularly municipalities, and their territorial identities, developing strategies for managing cultural projects and creating their own action plans. Currently, employees of various municipalities have the task of developing action plans to study or explore new locations or create networks based on the cultural heritage of these places, promoting sustainability and diversity. This study aims to identify what strategic management of cultural projects is and the need for various territories to use different types of action plans to improve their performance. The case study is limited to the training of employees in the 19 municipalities of the Douro region. The case study was limited to the training of employees in the 19 municipalities of the Douro region.

    Publication . Duarte, Filipe A.P.; Madeira, Maria José; Fonseca, SMSR; Moura, Dulcineia Catarina; Guia, Ana
    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of R&D investment as a determinant of ongoing or abandoned innovation activities. The literature review focuses especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that deploy R&D investment as a way of developing innovation processes. Design/methodology/approach – This study’s design used a sample of 4,229 Portuguese SMEs to analyse the effects R&D investment has on the innovation activities; the results obtained demonstrate the great importance of firms investing in R&D internal activities for the development of their innovation process. Findings – The most important findings highlight the types of activities that emerge as relevant to innovation processes susceptible for development to avoid abandoning and maintaining ongoing innovation activities. Among them, the authors would highlight the design of products or services, the introduction of innovations to the market and the acquisition of machinery, equipment and specific software, among others. Originality/value – In addition, other types of activities emerge as relevant to innovation processes susceptible for development to avoid abandoning and maintaining ongoing innovation activities. This research adds value to the current literature mainly showing several determinants related to R&D, which could be used by SMEs to improve and develop their activities of innovation.
