- Smart innovation strategy and innovation performance: an empirical application on the Portuguese small and medium‐sized firmsPublication . Cesário, Marisa; Fernandes, Silvia C. Pinto de BritoSmart Innovation is often considered as the capability of firms to create new opportunities through a dynamic relationship with the main actors in their setting, fostering higher innovation performances and sustainable competitive advantage. However, innovation indicators of Portugal in Europe show that Portuguese firms miss an open innovation strategy to cope quick and easily with complex new challenges. Relying on the results from the Community Innovation Survey (CIS 2014) this paper focuses on the analysis of the relationship between a smart‐open innovation approach and firms’ innovation performance in the sample. Furthermore, and using the LINEAR (automatic linear modelling) procedure in SPSS 24.0, statistically significant relationships are established between proxies for smart‐open innovation and a score for innovation performance. The findings provide relevant conclusions about how Portuguese firms should explore their networking strategies, both in terms of scale (or smart ‐ local/geographically) and scope (or open ‐ a variety of agents) in order to match their innovation to market, toward a continuous business value.
- Factors influencing the choice of the Algarve region as a tourist destination: does season matter?Publication . Barreira, Ana Paula; Cesário, MarisaThe dissimilar ways in which tourists assess the attributes of a tourism destination in different seasons is an issue scarcely addressed in the literature. Here, we show that the characteristics of a tourism destination (the Algarve region, Portugal) are rated differently in peak (summer) and off‐peak (autumn/winter) seasons. Nationality is decisive in explaining the different assessments between seasons of the factors that group subsets of 17 attributes of the tourism destination. In general, the factors that are rated higher by domestic tourists during the summer are the same as those that are rated higher by foreign tourists in the autumn/winter.
- Modern innovation challenges to firms and cities: the case of PortugalPublication . Fernandes, Silvia C. Pinto de Brito; Cesário, Marisa; Castela, GuilhermeModern competition is tough due to emergent information systems and technologies. Managers must cope with these challenges continuously to keep their businesses sustainable. An important step is to employ strategies based on open innovation. This work analyses where Portugal stands in terms of innovation in general, propensity for open innovation and innovation sustainability. An HJ-Biplot methodology was applied to a valid sample from CIS 2012 (Community Innovation Survey). It suggests that Portuguese firms must cut back on activities that are not leading to the outcomes needed. Also, with the right partners they can have more ideas executed and diffused.
- Coagglomeration patterns in portuguese labour-intensive industries: complementarity and specialisation dynamicsPublication . Cesário, MarisaThe aim of this paper is to analyse the patterns of industrial agglomeration in Portugal in order to understand their underlying dynamics. Industries tend to be concentrated geographically, rather than due to random causes, natural advantages or Marshallian forces. Empirically, industry pairwise coagglomeration is measured using the Ellison and Glaeser (1997) metric, with the goal of understanding the complementarity versus specialisation dynamics behind the industrial geographic concentration in Portugal. It is concluded that the most prominent industrial clusters in Portugal are as follows: textiles and clothing, footwear and transport, each one having a different agglomeration dynamic. While some sectors tend to benefit more from the interdependencies along the value chain (meaning vertical industrial relationships, related to complementary dynamics), others are more vulnerable to labour pooling (more to do with horizontal industrial relationships and specialisation dynamics), and others to both. For policymakers, for instance, it is of great use to know exactly the right triggers as the success of any programme results from the suitability of the initiatives being financially supported.
- Sources of innovation: the case of portuguese consultancy sectorPublication . Cesário, Marisa; Fernandes, Silvia C. Pinto de Brito; Jesus, Bruno; Barata, José MonteiroThis study addresses the effects of external environments on types of innovation introduced by Portuguese consultancy firms (PCs) in computer, technical, and management areas. It distinguishes the most determinant factors for innovation regarding product, process, organization, and marketing. The assessment framework followed three steps: 1) evaluation of propensity to use external sources of information and cooperation with agents, 2) identification of factors used most often during innovation, and 3) derivation of profiles of firms under study. The method generated tree-based classification models that segmented the sample into innovative and non-innovative firms, and distinct profiles that emphasized specificities concerning use of external sources and agents for innovation.
- Tides of change for a sustainable blue economy: a systematic literature review of innovation in maritime activitiesPublication . Elston, Jennifer Nicole; Pinto, Hugo; Nogueira, CarlaAbstract: The Blue Economy, a dynamic field intertwining ocean sustainability, innovation, and economic progress, stands as a beacon of hope for fostering inclusive growth while advancing sustainable practices. This systematic literature review embarks on a journey to unravel the intricate relationship between innovation and sustainable practices within the Blue Economy, to uncover how innovation transforms and promotes sustainability, and to pinpoint barriers to adoption of innovative technologies and processes. By delving into the multifaceted landscape of sustainability and innovation studies within the Blue Economy, this study illuminates the potential of innovative approaches to drive sustainability in coastal and marine areas. With global attention shifting toward ocean sustainability due to survival risks and resource scarcity, this study addresses two central questions: how does innovation drive sustainable practices within the Blue Economy, and what barriers prevent the widespread adoption of these innovations? Using this interrogation as a compass to navigate the existing literature, and through a comprehensive analysis of the role of innovation in promoting sustainable practices, this review aims to provide hints for the main directions for a sustainable Blue Economy.
- Resident empowerment in all-inclusive context: cost–benefit perception and support for sustainable tourism development in a small island destinationPublication . Santos, Edson Redy Moreira dos; Nobre Pereira, Luis; Pinto, Patrícia; Ribeiro, Manuel AlectorThis study examines the relationships among resident empowerment, perceptions of tourism costs and benefits, and support for sustainable tourism development (SSTD) in a small island destination dominated by all-inclusive resorts. Using survey data from 341 residents in Cape Verde and employing PLS-SEM analysis, results reveal significant relationships between empowerment, benefits, and SSTD. The perception of all-inclusive resorts' positive impacts moderates the relationship between empowerment and SSTD, while the perception of all-inclusive resorts' costs does not moderate any relationships. The study contributes to understanding how all-inclusive tourism development influences resident attitudes and support for sustainability in small island contexts. The findings underscore the importance of empowering residents and managing perceptions of tourism impacts to foster SSTD. Practical implications include the need for policies that promote local empowerment, equitable benefit distribution, and mitigation of negative impacts to ensure long-term sustainability of small island destinations and beyond.
- Innovation dynamics and resilience: a crucial agenda for the future of regional studies and policyPublication . Pinto, HugoHugo Pinto develops the concept of the ‘resilience of innovation’, which links ideas about innovation dynamics and resilience to anticipate how regions might respond to external shocks or systemic failures in the economy and environment.
- Varieties of capitalism and resilience clusters: an exploratory approach to European regionsPublication . Pinto, Hugo; Healy, Adrian; Cruz, Ana RitaAbstract Regions around the world suffered asymmetric effects with the global economic crisis of the last decade. European regions were not different, and a myriad of impacts with varied magnitudes was felt. This article, inspired by the literature of varieties of capitalism (VoC), presents statistical and econometric evidence about the differences of regional resilience, measured by the variation of economic product, unemployment and R&D across regions in European Union during the economic downturn. An exploratory approach analyses the socio‐economic resilience between different member states, and VoC ideal‐types (liberal market economies, the continental capitalism, the social‐democrat economies, the Mediterranean capitalism, and the Eastern economies). The study presents a typology of resilience clusters in European regions. There were found six types of profiles concerning resilience: great performers, fast growth, intermediate position, R&D reduction, regions in divergence, and Mediterranean regions in big trouble. The study identifies key aspects for resilience, providing policy implications for regional economic policies. The comparison of the resilience clusters and the original VoC categorization has implications for this branch of literature as it does not completely address the variety of regional answers to the shocks.
- Innovation in firms, resilience and the economic downturn: insights from CIS data in PortugalPublication . Pinto, Hugo; Pereira, Tiago Santos; Uyarra, ElviraThere is an interest in understanding the effect of economic crises such as the one that hit the financial markets in the late 2000s, on the innovation performance of countries and regions. This paper introduces the concept of “resilience of innovation” to illustrate how the economic slowdown affects firms' behaviour in terms of their ability to maintain and develop innovative activities and deploy product and process innovation. Using Portugal as a case study—an EU member-state that was heavily affected by the economic downturn—this paper explores the data collected from four waves of the Community Innovation Survey from 2006 to 2012. It presents two-stage limited dependent variable models to understand the changing impacts of structural factors, innovative activities and strategies in terms of exploration and exploitation of knowledge on the development of product and process innovation. We find knowledge exploration to be particularly important for product innovation, while exploitation is a strong determinant for process innovation. Size, market knowledge sources and public funding for innovation are positively associated with both types of innovation in the peak of the crisis. This reiterates the importance of innovation support efforts to mitigate the effects of economic shocks and boost recovery.
