Publication Open Access Interest rate dynamic models: Evidence from Iberian markets2018 - Pinho, Carlos; Rodríguez de Prado, Francisco; Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Maldonado, IsabelIn this paper we investigate the yield curve forecasting performance of dynamic models combining yield curve factors and macroeconomic variables. We test dynamic models using sovereign debt data, inflation rate and annual variation of the industrial production index for Portugal and Spain. We also explore the dynamic correlations between the yield curve factors of the countries under analysis. Results indicate that the consideration of macroeconomic factors has a positive contribution to the improvement of forecasts. The analysis shows a strong correlation between the two countries level factor and important changes in the curvature factor correlations associated with international crisis episodes.Publication Open Access International New Ventures and Early Internationalization: Relational networks and workers specific skills as enhancing agents2018 - Pinho, Carlos; Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Maldonado, IsabelBased on the opinions of different entrepreneurs, this study seeks to determine the importance of several factors as inducers of the internationalization process by companies that have internationalized early in their life cycle. Factors such as the relational networks, entrepreneurs’ specific skills and international experience of employees are considered. The empirical study was conducted on a sample of 320 Portuguese companies. Data Exploratory Analysis methodologies and Univariate Statistical Inference methodologies were used. Evidence was found for the importance of Relational Networks, for Specific skills of the employees, and for the International Experience of employees, in line with the chosen Theoretical Model.Publication Open Access The importance of internationalization strategy for innovation in Portuguese firms2020-08 - Durão, Natércia; Santos-Pereira, Carla; Azevedo, Mónica; Maldonado, Isabel; Lobo, Carla AzevedoInnovation and internationalization seem to be vital strategies for the survival and growth of companies facing an increasingly competitive global environment. The twoway link between these two factors has become a topic of interest among researchers. Although innovation and internationalization are highly related activities, the role played by innovation in the internationalization process of firms has been analysed by internationalization, others consider that innovation can be a consequence of internationalization process. Given the great importance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for the growth of economies, part of literature has paid special attention to this kind of enterprises. The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between innovation and internationalization within Portuguese firms, in particular to analyse whether Portuguese entrepreneurs consider innovation as an important factor in the process of internationalisation. To achieve this goals, we will use descriptive and inferential data analysis techniques.Publication Open Access Internacionalização precoce: A importância das competências dos colaboradores e das redes relacionais2017 - Maldonado, Isabel; Lobo, Carla AzevedoBaseado na avaliação das opiniões de diferentes empresários, este estudo procura averiguar qual a importância atribuída a diversos fatores considerados potenciadores/indutores do processo de internacionalização por parte das empresas que se internacionalizam cedo no seu ciclo de vida. São considerados fatores como as redes relacionais, as competências específicas dos empresários e a experiência internacional dos colaboradores. O estudo empírico é efetuado com base numa amostra de 320 empresas portuguesas sendo utilizadas metodologias de Análise Exploratória de Dados e metodologias de Inferência Estatística Univariada. Foram encontradas evidências da importância para os empresários portugueses das Redes Relacionais, bem como das Competências Específicas dos Colaboradores, da Experiência Internacional dos Colaboradores, em consonância com a Teoria das Redes, a Teoria do Capital Humano, a Teoria das International New Ventures, a Population Ecology Approach e com a Attention Based View.Publication Open Access Business internationalization inducing factors: The importance of knowledge and relational networks2017 - Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Maldonado, IsabelCompanies are currently required to continually innovate and restructure their operations in order to respond to the requirements of national and international competition. Companies have to find new ways to develop competitive advantages and acquire new skills, resources and capabilities. Based on the opinions of different factors considered as inducers of the internationalization process by companies that internationalized early in their life cycle. We developed an empirical study with 320 portuguese international firms and used the statistical software AMOS for a confirmatory factor analysis. We propose a Theoretical Model in accordance to Human Capital Theory, International New Ventures Theory, and the Population Ecology Approach. We find evidence of the importance of Networks, Specific Skills of its workers, International Experience of its workers and Entrepreneurial Propensity and to Take Risks from workers and top management team.Publication Open Access Determinant factors of external audit opinion modification in Portuguese municipalities2019 - Pinho, Carlos; Maldonado, Isabel; Lobo, Carla AzevedoThis paper aims to identify the determinant factors of external audit opinion modification in Portuguese municipalities that integrate the metropolitan areas of Porto and Lisbon, covering 65 municipalities. The defined time horizon was from 2013 to 2017. The analysis allows to identify six predominant factors related with: non-current assets, amortizations, investment subsidies, debts to receive, equity investments and provisions as reasons to modified opinions. The study also highlights the fact that approximately one-third of modified opinions are related to the identification, classification, measurement and assets registration.Publication Open Access Iberian markets reaction to goodwill and goodwill impairments2019 - Pinho, Carlos; Maldonado, Isabel; Lobo, Carla AzevedoThis study aims to analyse in what extent goodwill and goodwill impairment losses are relevant to the market value of Iberian listed companies in the period from 2006 to 2015. The sample includes entities belonging to the PSI-20 index and the IBEX-25 index. Our results indicate that goodwill as a significative and positive relation with market value, but when considering the goodwill impairment, the analysis does not allow us to establish a relationship with market value. When activity sectors are considered, the industries Basic Materials and Utilities present a high relationship between market value and goodwill but regarding the relation between goodwill impairment and market value our results are inconclusive.Publication Open Access Early internationalization: The importance of skills and relational networks2017 - Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Maldonado, IsabelCompanies are currently required to continually innovate and restructure their operations in order to respond to the requirements of national and international competition. Companies have to find new ways to develop competitive advantages and acquire new skills, resources and capabilities. Since the 90’s, the research on international new ventures (INV) contested the idea that new or small companies can’t be early internationalized or that they would only do so incrementally. Since then, a growing flow of research into international new ventures has tried to understand the causes, processes, and outcomes of the decision to early enter foreign markets. A common thread concerns the role of learning and knowledge. Organizational knowledge, or its absence, was a central explanation for internationalization in original stage-based models (Uppsala School), but INV theory recognized that individual factors such as international experience can also influence the pace and specially the beginning of internationalization. More specifically, some recent empirical evidence offers important insights into the internationalization of new business, showing that younger companies are able to compensate for their limited experiential learning through previous individual experiences of the top management team and through inter-organizational relationships. Based on our literature review we intend to evaluate entrepreneurs’ opinions, in order to ascertain whether factors such as a relational network, worker’s specific skills and "worker’s international experience, can act as enhancing agents or inducers of the company internationalization process. Moreover we intend to investigate if there are differences in the importance of these factors to those companies that internationalize early in their life cycle (maturity level). An empirical study was carried out with 320 Portuguese companies through Exploratory Analysis and Univariate Statistical Inference methodologies. We found evidence that allows us to say that companies that internationalize early in their life cycle are those which most value the importance of worker’s specific skills and worker’s international experience. However relational networks don’t depend on companies’ maturity level.Keywords: Internationalization, skills, networks.Publication Open Access Interest rates dynamics: Contribution of macroeconomic information in four European markets2017 - Pinho, Carlos; Rodríguez de Prado, Francisco; Maldonado, Isabel; Lobo, Carla AzevedoOral presentation in the XIII Iberian International Business Conference (IICB17), Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Portugal, 20-21 October 2017, with the title Interest rates dynamics: Contribution of macroeconomic information in four European markets.Publication Open Access A Possible Relationship Between Internationalization and Innovation Strategies: An Analysis of Portuguese SMEs2021-06-30 - Azevedo, Mónica; Maldonado, Isabel; Lobo, Carla Azevedo; Santos-Pereira, Carla; Durão, NatérciaThe importance of internationalization for firm’s survival and growth seems to be consensual among the researchers on this topic. Innovation is also considered a key factor for firm’s development and competitiveness. Moreover, the relationship between innovation and internationalization has become a matter of increasingly interest in the literature and can be analysed according to two streams: innovation as cause or consequence of companies’ internationalization. Additionally, given the great importance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for the growth of economies, part of literature has paid special attention to this kind of enterprises. The purpose of this work is to verify the existence of a possible relationship between internationalization and innovation strategies among Portuguese firms by exploring whether Portuguese entrepreneurs consider innovation as an important factor or a motivation in the internationalization process. To achieve this goals, and based on data obtained from an online questionnaire survey, descriptive and inferential data analysis techniques are used. In particular, graphical representations, descriptive measures and also, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis (with multiple comparisons) non-parametric tests.
