- Academic social entrepreneurship: a contemporary reflection from schumpeter’s economic sociologyPublication . Pinto, Hugo; Sampaio, Fábio; Ferreira, Sílvia; Elston, Jennifer NicoleEntrepreneurship has gained significant relevance in contemporary societies due to its role in generating economic and social value, including job creation, new businesses, and technological and social innovations. Scientific interest in entrepreneurship, which dates back to the 17th century, has increased since the 1990s. This field of study has evolved to encompass not only strict business creation but also impactful social initiatives. This article explores the intersection of academic and social entrepreneurship, examining factors to understand impactful initiatives through the seminal ideas presented by Joseph Schumpeter. The text offers insights and recommendations for advancing the transdisciplinary study of academic social entrepreneurship starting from an Economic Sociology perspective.
- Can innovation predict regional resilience? An econometric exploration of Brazilian municipalities during the Covid-19 pandemicPublication . Câmara Viana, Luiz Fernando; Hoffmann, Valmir Emil; Pinto, HugoObjective: This article examines the relationship between innovation and regional economic resilience in an emerging economy. Method: This is a quantitative and descriptive research that uses a logistic regression based on socio-economic indicators of the 101 most populous Brazilian municipalities and considers regional resilience through employment data. Originality/relevance: Although innovation has been identified as a source of regional economic resilience, the context of emerging economies has often been overlooked, resulting in a narrow view of this relationship. Results: The findings show that innovation did not act as a classification variable for (non -)resilient regions. Municipalities characterized by greater proximity to ports, greater per capita Internet access, and the presence of technology parks showed less resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic compared to the national average performance, which is counterintuitive. In addition, a positive relationship was found between lower tax burden and regional resilience. Theoretical contribution: The empirical research conducted helps to understand the specific impact of a crisis such as the pandemic in an emerging economy. The results also suggest that innovation is not a sufficient condition for regional resilience in the short run. Practical contributions: The article points to the need to strengthen innovation capacities in regions of an emerging economy, which, if underdeveloped, are unable to act as an immune system in the face of a pandemic shock.
- Charting the course: real‐world application of sustainability and innovation principles in the portuguese blue economy firmsPublication . Elston, Jennifer Nicole; Pinto, Hugo; Nogueira, CarlaThe blue economy has emerged as a key sector for linking sustainability and innovation, yet existing research has largely overlooked how firms operationalize these processes in practice. This study addresses that gap by asking: How do Portuguese blue economy firms embed sustainability-oriented innovation (SOI) into their strategies, and what institutional conditions enable or constrain it? This study explores SOI through an analysis of five Portuguese firms. Adopting a qualitative approach, it employs semistructured interviews, supported by content comparison techniques and thematic coding. The findings indicate that stakeholder collaboration, circular economy principles, and renewable energy integration support sustainability performance, whereas financial constraints, regulatory inefficiencies, and bureaucratic hurdles limit broader adoption. Drawing on institutional theory, the resource-based view, and the triple bottom line framework, the study contributes theoretically by showing how SOI is negotiated between institutional pressures and firm capabilities, revealing tensions between compliance and strategic agency. The study underscores the importance of institutional support, stakeholder engagement, and adaptive business strategies in overcoming systemic barriers. These results provide practical direction for policymakers and business leaders, highlighting the need for streamlined regulation, targeted financial incentives, and cross-sector collaboration. For policymakers, this means aligning incentives with SME capacities and building collaborative governance platforms; for firms, it means leveraging partnerships and resource-based advantages to scale sustainable business models. By clarifying both institutional dynamics and firm-level practices, the article advances understanding of how sustainability transitions are enacted within the blue economy.
- Civil economy as a path towards sustainability: An empirical investigationPublication . Nogueira, Carla; Marques, João Filipe; Pinto, HugoContemporary societies face a myriad of challenges that require the modification of patterns, ways of living, being and producing. Although climate change is one of the most glaring problems, it cannot be understood merely by environmental aspects. Many of these challenges are interrelated and have their roots in a set of crystallized structures that are obsolete, namely the economic ones. Contemporary capitalism has been proving its limitations and contribution to less fair, harmonious and sustainable societies. Evidence of this is the policy efforts that many organizations, such as the European Commission, are making to promote environmental transitions, the circular economy, and green innovations. This article argues that the concept of civil economy may be complementary to this green policy agenda for reflecting on current social challenges and emphasize the importance of cultural, environmental, spiritual and economic resources operating together. It pays attention to gift-giving as a form of civil economy, defining a framework inspired by positive sociology. The article uses the case study of "Los Portales", an intentional sustainable community located in Spain, with around 40 inhabitants and more than 40 years of existence. The study is of ethnographic character and based on in-depth interviews with experts on the economic governance of this community. The results show that the principles of the gift economy were crucial to the success and longevity of the community. They also suggest an agency-centred approach in which individuals should engage activities that promote personal happiness, collective happiness and prosperity.
- Cooperation and the emergence of maritime clusters in the Atlantic: analysis and implications of innovation and human capital for blue growthPublication . Pinto, Hugo; Cruz, Ana Rita; Combe, ColinThe so-called 'blue economy' is gaining emphasis in European policy making due to the expansion of its relevance beyond traditional economic sectors but also to new and developing ones that exhibit rapid growth. Much of the discourse has focused on the emergence and consolidation of maritime clusters. However, there has been less attention on the regional development aspect and this article provides a timely contribution to filling the gap in knowledge by presenting the findings and analysis of a survey applied to blue economy organisations in Portugal, Spain, Ireland and Scotland. Specifically, issues of innovation, human capital and social capital provide the basis of inquiry around the creation and consolidation of maritime clusters. The article uses the survey data to understand the determinants of the variety of cooperation dynamics. A key finding reveals that participation in innovation activities and absorptive capacity are critical factors in increasing cooperation. From the analysis it is clear that there are significant discrepancies in participation between sectors, such as tourism where participation rates are below average. The article concludes by defining the core activities that should feature in a maritime cluster. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
- Culture and innovation in SMEs: the intellectual structure of research for further inquiryPublication . Gonzalez-Loureiro, Miguel; Sousa, Maria; Pinto, HugoRegional and organizational cultures are commonly considered key enablers to innovation dynamics in organizations, in particular to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Although this intersection is a crucial topic of research, studies addressing this issue remain limited in number and scope in the case of SMEs. In this article, a systematic literature review of that intersection is presented by gathering articles from ISI-WoS and Scopus databases. It combines a qualitative approach (content analysis) and a statistical procedure (HOMALS) to analyse the information from 1947 articles found. As a result, the contribution is twofold: a map of the intellectual structure of research and a codebook of descriptors. The study helps identify relevant gaps for future research, specifically the need for mixed approaches from a variety of social sciences with a particular focus on regional science. Future research should shift from a static to a dynamic perspective of culture in groups, organizations and territories. In the case of SMEs, this can be labelled as transformational culture: the study of how organizational and regional cultures may co-evolve along with the changes in the environment by seizing on the SMEs' flexibility and flattened organizational structure.
- Do you have feet in your shoes? innovation and resilience in a footwear industrial district in BrazilPublication . Viana, Luiz Fernando Câmara; Hoffmann, Valmir Emil; Pinto, Hugo; Diez-Vial, IsabelThis study examines innovation as a shock reaction in the process of regional economic resilience, focusing on a footwear industrial district in southern Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic. Th e results show that innovation, a mechanism of adaptability, emerged in the industrial district not only to support economic recovery, but also to mitigate the adverse effects. ff ects. Firms implemented novel marketing and sales processes, and some also had to change their information and communication systems or organisational structure to support e-commerce. As such, this study highlights the influence of adaptability on economic resistance.
- Documentos das provas de agregação de Hugo Emanuel dos Reis Sales da Cruz Pinto. Titulo da Lição: Resiliência da inovação: uma abordagem multinívelPublication . Pinto, HugoRelatório submetido para obtenção do título de Agregado em Ciências Económicas e Empresariais - especialidade em Economia pela Faculdade de Economia da Universidade do Algarve, em conformidade com os Decreto-Lei n.º 64/2023, de 31 de julho, Decreto-Lei n.º 239/2007, de 19 de junho, e nos termos da alínea c), iii), do art.º 4.º do Regulamento n.º 502/2024 da Universidade do Algarve. Esta lição consolida mais de uma década de investigação sobre a dinâmica da inovação em sistemas adaptativos complexos, introduzindo o conceito de "resiliência da inovação". Este conceito analisa como os sistemas de inovação se adaptam a impactos socioeconómicos, mudanças institucionais e colapsos industriais. A abordagem proposta conecta níveis macro (variedades de capitalismo), meso (redes regionais) e micro (atores de inovação), integrando métodos quantitativos (econometria e análise de redes) e qualitativos (entrevistas). A lição reflete sobre a importância da inovação no desenvolvimento regional, a concentração de atividades económicas, a capacidade de adaptação dos territórios a choques externos e falhas sistémicas.
- Economic reconversion and the creation of new trajectories in peripheral mining regions: proposing a theoretical frameworkPublication . Belisario, Helen; Pinto, Hugo; Guimarães, Liliane de OliveiraSeveral regions around the world face the challenge of renewing their economies when the usual growth trajectory begins to weaken. In territories where a particular economic activity predominates - a lock-in, as in the case of mining regions it is considered essential to define new trajectories that allow for economic diversification following the closure of extraction activities. These regions are at a critical juncture to plan for future diversification. This article seeks, based on the literature of evolutionary economic geography (EEG), to expand the understanding of the relationship between mining in peripheral areas and regional diversification, highlighting the role of regional actors in creating new trajectories, whether related to mining or not. The search for a path creation model that considers social, environmental, and economic aspects is becoming increasingly important, both for civil society and for initiatives from national, international, and regulatory bodies. As such, the discussion about path development has gained significant prominence in political agendas and civil dialogues. The article presents a theoretical framework that cyclically integrates the creation of new trajectories, influenced by the actions of local agents, who also contribute to strengthening territorial resilience.
