Publicação Acesso Aberto The portuguese norm for innovation: A case study [abstract]2023-06 - Azevedo, Mónica; Oliveira, Susana; Lobo, Carla AzevedoThis paper addresses the need for different and qualitative approaches to assess the impact of public funding on innovation in private firms. [...]Publicação Acesso Restrito Dolce far niente and innovation [comunicação oral]2024-07-02 - Oliveira, Susana; Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Azevedo, MónicaBalancing stability with change is a daily challenge to both firms and individuals. Juggling the know with the unknown, the ability to promote innovation from business as usual, new knowledge from the creative power of wisdom is something that requires time and space to reflect. [...]Publicação Acesso Aberto Endogenous growth and intellectual property rights: A north south modelling proposal with population ageing2017-03 - Afonso, Óscar; Silva, Sandra T.; Azevedo, MónicaThis paper studies the effect of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) on economic growth, in the light of population ageing, i.e., in a more realistic context. The analysis is motivated by the implications of population ageing on economic growth. Moreover, this study analyses this relationship in a North-South framework where there is a health-care sector. We conclude that population ageing has no impact on the sign of the IPR effect on economic growth. However, it positively affects the steady-state growth rate. Finally, under some conditions, the presence of the health-care sector also increases the steady-state growth rate.Publicação Acesso Aberto Circular Economy and International Business: Innovation, Sustainability, and Environmental Impact [editorial]2025-12-27 - Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Santos-Pereira, Carla; Azevedo, Mónica; Carvalho, MargaritaAs global markets transition towards sustainability, the Circular Economy is emerging not only as a key driver of innovation and long-term business success but also as a powerful framework for environmental protection and ecosystem regeneration. Companies are increasingly compelled to rethink traditional business models, aligning them with circular principles that prioritize the reduction of environmental degradation, the regeneration of natural resources, and the minimization of waste. This Special Issue investigates how firms, industries, and economies apply circular economy strategies within international business while addressing broader environmental challenges and complying with evolving environmental regulations. We seek original research and review articles that explore the intersection of the circular economy, environmental governance, and international business. Topics of interest include sustainable business strategies that reduce environmental impact, the role of digitalization in enabling low-carbon and resource-efficient transitions, the redesign of global value chains with ecological considerations, and the policy mechanisms that drive circularity with environmental integrity. Contributions may examine how multinational corporations, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and emerging market actors adopt circular practices to enhance both competitiveness and environmental responsibility. Submissions may address, but are not limited to: business models for the circular economy in environmentally regulated international markets; sustainable and circular supply chains with low ecological footprints; the influence of international environmental agreements and trade regulations on circular practices; environmental policy and governance as enablers of circular innovation; consumer behavior regarding eco-friendly and circular products; green investment and financing models; environmental impact metrics for circular performance; and institutional and corporate frameworks promoting systemic environmental change. By bringing together a wide range of insights from academia, industry, and environmental policy, this Special Issue aims to advance understanding of how circular economy principles can help reshape international business dynamics while contributing to climate goals, ecological sustainability, and a greener global economy.Publicação Acesso Restrito Exploring the relationship between innovation, entry modes and destination countries2024-01-03 - Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Santos-Pereira, Carla; Durão, Natércia; Azevedo, MónicaIn a world characterized by globalization, where the internationalization of businesses is pivotal for their prosperity, innovation is emerging as a pivotal strategic choice influencing their growth and competitive edge. Despite the broad consensus on the growing importance of internationalization and innovation, some questions arise about the relationship of innovation with entry modes with less commitment to the market and with destination markets with less risks. In order to determine whether there is a pattern of relationship between internationalization modes, destination markets, and innovation for Portuguese firms, the objective is to study this possibility. To achieve this goal, we carried out an online questionnaire survey to collect data. The questionnaire was carefully designed based on a literature review and included various variables related to the internationalization of firms. It was sent to all 8183 firms listed in the AICEP database of Portuguese internationalized firms through Google Forms tool. The data was collected over an 8-month period, starting in May 2019. To analyze the data, we used IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0 software, applying a quantitative approach. We employed Quantitative Analysis Methodologies: Univariate and Multivariate Exploratory Factorial Analysis (EFA), Correlation analysis and the nonparametric tests Chi-square and Mann-Whitney. Based on the findings, the empirical evidence clearly demonstrates that firms employing internationalization modes demanding higher commitment, along with those targeting geographically and psychologically distant markets, place significantly greater emphasis on innovation as a pivotal factor driving their international expansion.Publicação Acesso Aberto The interplay of innovation and internationalisation in the foreign market entry mode and international market selection process of SMEs2023-12-15 - Azevedo, Mónica; Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Santos-Pereira, Carla; Durão, Natércia; Gerschewski, StephanIn an interconnected, globalised world where the success of companies increasingly relies on internationalisation, innovation has emerged as a crucial strategic decision for firm’s strong development and competitiveness. While there tends to be a consensus in the literature regarding the growing significance of internationalisation and innovation, certain questions arise regarding the relationship between innovation and entry modes with lower market commitment as well as destination markets with lower risks. This study aims to investigate whether a discernible pattern of relationship exists between internationalisation modes, destination markets, and innovation among small and medium-sized Portuguese firms. To accomplish this research objective, we developed and distributed an online questionnaire survey and collected empirical data from Portuguese SMEs. The final dataset consisted of 310 valid responses, which were subjected to statistical analysis using IBM SPSS 27.0 Statistics software. Considering the categorical nature of the data (measured on a nominal or ordinal scale), we applied robust quantitative analysis techniques. More specifically, we employed exploratory statistical analyses, including univariate and multivariate exploratory factorial analysis (EFA), as well as inferential analysis (e.g., Spearman's correlation and Chi-square test for correlation analysis, and Mann-Whitney nonparametric test). Our findings provide empirical evidence that companies employing internationalisation modes requiring greater commitment, along with those targeting geographically and psycho-logically distant destination markets, tend to attach greater importance to innovation as a determinant of internationalisation. Our study carries important theoretical and practical implications.Publicação Acesso Aberto The impact of crowdfunding on entrepreneurial value creation: Differences between social, cultural and commercial-oriented projects2018 - Sousa, Cristina; Azevedo, MónicaPublicação Acesso Aberto The role of the ICTs in knowledge transfer: A special focus on Fraunhofer AICOS2019 - Afonso, Óscar; Vasconcelos, Paulo; Azevedo, MónicaThe purpose of this chapter is to review the increasing importance of knowledge in society in general and in economy in particular. Knowledge transfer is more and more important at different levels (e.g., micro and macro-level). The authors also intend to show the role played by ICTs in knowledge transfer. To illustrate this, they use some examples of institutions in Portugal, specifically they explore the case of Fraunhofer AICOS. Under the umbrella of the ICT4D concept, it is analyzed as ICTs can be used to surpass some difficulties of the least developing countries. However, there are also difficulties related to the acceptance and adoption of ICT solutions, as well as special requirements imposed by the reality of the countries.Publicação Acesso Aberto Innovation and internationalisation: Is there a connection with entry modes and destination countries? [abstract]2022-07 - Azevedo, Mónica; Durão, Natércia; Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Santos-Pereira, CarlaIn a globalized world where internationalisation plays a crucial role for the success of companies, innovation is also proving to be a key strategic decision for their development and competitiveness. Despite the broad consensus on the growing importance of internationalization and innovation for companies, some questions arise: Is there a link between innovation and internationalization? Does the relationship between internationalisation and innovation differ according to entry modes? Does the importance of innovation differ between destination markets? Taking into account a sample of Portuguese companies, this study seeks to answer mainly the last two questions. Thus, the goal is to explore whether it is possible to establish a pattern of relationship between internationalisation modes, destination markets and innovation for Portuguese firms. To achieve the objectives, we set out to accomplish in this work, we used data gathered through an online questionnaire survey. A questionnaire was designed and sent by email to 8183 companies from the AICEP database. From the data collected we gathered 310 valid responses, which were then processed by IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0 software. Quantitative Analysis were used and given the nature of the data (categorical variables measured on a nominal or ordinal scale), the statistical methods used were Exploratory Analysis (Univariate and Multivariate Exploratory Factorial Analysis- EFA) and Inferential Analysis (Correlation analysis: Spearman´s correlation and Chi-square test, and Mann-Whitney nonparametric test). According to the results, we can find empirical evidence that are indeed the companies with internationalisation modes that require greater commitment, as well as with geographically and psychologically more distant destination markets, the ones that attach greater importance to innovation as a determinant of internationalisation.Publicação Acesso Aberto Message from the guest editors2022-12 - Azevedo, Mónica; Pacheco, Luís MiguelThe last couple of decades have witnessed the growing interest of the academic literature in the conciliation of firm financial performance and growth with social and environmental concerns. Firms face increasing pressure from both shareholders and stakeholders towards adopting sustainable practices. Regulatory impositions, potential competitive advantages, legitimacy and ethical concerns all point to the integration of social, environmental, diversity and community dimensions into firms’ daily life. At a time of huge changes and uncertainties in the internal and external factors that determine firm performance, sustainable development challenges must be at the forefront of business decisions. Nevertheless, the integration of those dimensions surely has effects on firms’ operating costs, margins and market positioning. The existent literature does not provide us with an unambiguous answer regarding the sign and significance of the relationship between variables proxying sustainability and different market- or accounting-based performance measures. Therefore, it continues to be relevant to study the relationship between sustainability and financial performance. The aim of this Special Issue is to present an updated set of studies, theoretical ideas and methodological developments dealing with the sustainability–financial performance nexus. This Special Issue will include, but is not limited to, the following topics: i) implications of adopting sustainable management practices to financial performance; ii) presentation of good practices in sustainable management that enhance financial performance; iii) implications of different contexts, namely in terms of corporate governance, market structure, firm dimension and geographical, cultural and gender aspects or others; and iv) explore potential non-linear, bidirectional and moderating effects in the relationship between sustainability and financial performance.
