Publication Open Access How the Portuguese footwear industry became a global leader: The role of technological innovation2019 - Jorge, Sílvia Ferreira; Monteiro, Mónica; Jayantilal, ShitalPortugal is a small economy on the south western tip of Europe. Its economy was thrown a huge blow with the global financial crisis of 2008. The country ended signing a 78 million euro bailout plan to help pull thorough yet the effects are still lingering. In this daunting context, Portuguese footwear industry has managed to transform itself gradually becoming an important player in the global arena and crucially important to the national economy. In this paper we aim to show that this accomplishment was possible due to the technological innovation introduced in this industry. We show that this introduction enabled to add value to the exports and, thus, launch the Portuguese footwear industry to worldwide spotlight. This industry of the Portuguese economy, shows the impact that technological innovation can have in terms of creating wealth, jobs and economic growth, even in the most dire of circumstances.Publication Open Access Grounded Theory: An illustrative application in the portuguese footwear industry2023-02-14 - Rosa, Álvaro; Martins, Adelaide; Monteiro, Mónica; Jayantilal, ShitalGrounded theory is an inductive research methodology aiming at the construction of new concepts or new theories able to explain emerging phenomena. The objective of this paper is to provide insights on the usage of grounded theory in management research. We showcase how grounded theory can bring light to development modes of Portuguese small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in the specific reality of the footwear industry, where a changing and unpredictable environment threatens constant loss of competitive advantage. An interpretive–epistemological research philosophy was adopted, and evidence was gathered through nine semi-structured interviews. Portugal is currently a reference in the international footwear market and the sustainability of the sector plays an important role in the Portuguese industrial structure. This study highlights how the method of grounded theory can add value to research by uncovering complex managerial realities and develop new questions and issues for theory building.Publication Open Access Influence of gender, education, age group and time in the company on the adoption of new technologies and their impact on continuous improvement2022-12 - Dinis-Carvalho, José; Macedo, Helena; Monteiro, MónicaContinuous Improvement (CI) is a principle being adopted in many organizations around the world. It is present in relevant excellence models such as the Toyota Way, Shingo Model, and Lean Thinking. CI was implemented some years ago in a Public Company (Lipor) based in Porto, dedicated to municipal waste treatment, but the Covid-19 pandemic created some important challenges. The forced adoption of new technologies associated with I4.0 required important changes in the existing CI routines. This paper aims to assess the influence of gender, education, age group, and time in the company on adopting new technologies used in their IC routines. This study, based on employees' perceptions through questionnaires, shows that the CI system had, in general, a positive impact on their work and overall performance. Regarding the effect of forced teleworking caused by COVID-19 on office workers, this study shows that age, gender, education, and years in the company have an impact on the effective adoption of new technologies associated with digital transformation and Industry 4.0. The study also shows that those technologies effectively allow routines and culture of CI to be maintained when workers are forced to work remotely.Publication Open Access Sustainability and circular economy: Jinja case2023-12-01 - Jayantilal, Shital; Monteiro, MónicaJinja designs and produces a wide variety of original products, made 100% by hand by reusing textile waste.
