    How the Portuguese footwear industry became a global leader: The role of technological innovation
    2019 - Jorge, Sílvia Ferreira; Monteiro, Mónica; Jayantilal, Shital
    Portugal 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.

    System of tax incentives in research and business development: An analysis of the recent case Law of Portuguese Tax Arbitration
    2023-09-18 - Nanez, Sergio; Jayantilal, Shital; Aldeia, Susana
    The main objective of this work is to analyse the understanding of the tax authority regarding the application of the tax benefit in support of research and development in professional societies and whether this understanding complies with the legal provision. Additionally, to understand the sense of the recent decisions of the arbitral court in this matter. For this purpose, the study applies the legal research methodology. Several legal sources have been analysed, such as the personal income tax law, the corporate income tax law, the investment tax law, administrative doctrine and the jurisprudence of the Portuguese arbitration court. The study shows that the tax authority has been assuming an understanding that does not fit in the legislation currently in force and administrative doctrine concerning tax benefits for the research and development of professional companies. The public authority limits the tax deduction to these entities, and this limitation would not apply in the case of commercial, industrial or service companies. Moreover, the Portuguese arbitral court recently confirmed this discriminatory understanding and agreed with this view. Thus, case law contributes significantly to the clarification of the application of the law.

    La teoria de juegos y la sucesión en las empresas familiares
    2016 - Jayantilal, Shital
    El paso del control executivo da empresa familiar por lo fundador a la generación siguiente es una fase critica. Esta tesis extiende el uso de la teoría del juegos para proveer un entendimiento del papel que tienen la familia, el fundador y el ambiente cultural en la selección del sucesor. Los juegos usados incluyen explícitamente, y por primera vez, los factores emocionales relacionados con la dimensión familiar de la empresa familiar. En relación al impacto de la familia, la tesis se enfoca en la competencia fraternal que puede erosionar la armonía familiar y arriesgar la continuidad de la empresa. Los resultados destacan el costo emocional de conflicto, en importante para la definición del sucesor y esencial para explicar la ventaja del primer que se mueva. Esta tesis contribuye demostrando analíticamente la importancia del fundador adoptar una aproximación activa en el proceso de sucesión. Los resultados muestran que eso es esencial para asegurar la continuidad intergeneracional de la empresa y la asignación de su candidato preferido como sucesor. Los factores emocionales son determinantes para el resultado del sucesor y son evidentes en algunos ambientes culturales, como en India. Los resultados enfatizan que la discrepancia cultural entre las generaciones puede comprometer la sucesión y la armonía familiar. La tesis complementa la teoría de juego con economía experimental, lo que es completamente original en esta área de sucesión da empresa familiar. Para incluir la deficiencia de comunicación, se usa un juego de información completa e imperfecta. Los resultados confirman que las conclusiones teóricas son verdaderas en el laboratorio.

    The impact of social responsibility on corporate financial performance: A systematic literature review
    2023-01-17 - Coelho, Rui; Ferreira, João J. M.; Jayantilal, Shital
    Although corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been gaining relevance in the academic, business, and political worlds, the relationship between CSR and performance remains unclear. This study provides a better understanding of the relationship between companies' financial performance and CSR activities. In other words, can the allocation of company resources to address social, environmental, and governance issues be a source of synergy to increase business value and improve financial performance for the benefit of the company and its stakeholders? To shed new light on this issue, we mapped this topic via a systematic review and content analysis of 53 articles identified in the confluence between CSR and financial performance from 1984 to 2021. Our study suggests that CSR directly impacts a company's financial performance, and this impact becomes more significant as the company's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores improve. Moreover, we must note that this is a comprehensive study whose results include analyses of companies from the world's largest stock market indices, mutual funds, sustainable portfolios, non-sustainable portfolios, regions, asset classes for ESG investing, emerging markets, developed and developing countries, among others. Additionally, this study provides a path for future research.

    Governance issues in protected areas: The case of Peneda-Gerês National Park
    2022 - Jorge, Silvia Ferreira; Nogueira, Sónia; Jayantilal, Shital
    The increasing attention that protected areas have received from various players ranging from tourists, firms, and government entities, has highlighted the need to promote appropriate governance mechanisms. These are essential to promote and develop those areas enabling an alignment between various stakeholders with diverse agendas. This research draws attention to this key issue, focusing on the classified Peneda-Gerês National Park (PGNP), considered one of the top 10 in Europe. In order to do so, we employ game theory. This methodology is appropriate for strategic decision-making and enables a deeper understanding of the impacts of different governance mechanisms and their outcomes. This paper will contribute, on a theoretical level, to advancing the use of this methodology to study governance decisions in classified areas. In order to do so, diverse settings are modeled to illustrate different governance solutions employed to manage Peneda- Gerês National Park, highlighting the strategic interplay between the key stakeholders and the outcomes attained. Our results demonstrate that the degree of alignment between the various municipalities will have a direct impact in terms of performance, as well, as show the mechanisms which contribute. Additionally, our findings contribute, in practical terms, to showing how important it is for the public entities involved in the management and care of Peneda-Gerês National Park to cooperate and align their interests to ensure success. Moreover, the study refers to Peneda-Gerês National Park but the results attained are applicable to different contexts in terms of National Park management and promotion.

    Unravelling the determinants of family firms' governance: The family protocol
    2023-11-21 - Jorge, Sílvia Ferreira; Alcarva, Paulo; Jayantilal, Shital
    Family businesses are essential to the global economy but often grapple with family-related issues, especially during succession. This study explores how governance tools like the family protocol (FP) mitigate conflicts by setting standards for family firm management and continuity. Pioneering the use of game theory and adverse selection setups in family business governance, this research uncovers FP determinants.

    International new ventures: The importance of competences, expertise and networks – additional problems for family firms?
    2018 - Maldonado, Isabel; Jayantilal, Shital; Lobo, Carla Azevedo
    Este estudo explora a importância das competências e redes relacionais no processo de internacionalização das PMEs portuguesas. Sendo de pequena dimensão e com recursos limitados, o processo de internacionalização é um grande desafio para as pequenas empresas, grupo onde podemos incluir as Empresas Familiares (EF). A pesquisa sobre “international new ventures” (INV) vem colocar em causa a ideia de que empresas pequenas e jovens tem dificuldade em internacionalizar as suas operações ou que só o fazem de forma gradual. Davis e Harvston (2000) e Graves e Thomas (2004) reforçam esta situação alegando que as EF podem não possuir a ampla gama de capacidades (como a deteção de oportunidades internacionais) necessárias para avançar com a internacionalização. Hall e Nordquist (2008) e Zhang e Ma (2009) afirmam que uma das desvantagens das EF em relação à internacionalização é a dificuldade em contratar e envolver gestores de fora do círculo familiar. Além disso, os gestores/proprietários destas empresas que tomam decisões estratégicas, como a de internacionalização, são geralmente mais avessos ao risco do que os gestores de outras empresas não familiares, pois têm muito mais a perder com o fracasso do projeto (Gómez-Mejía et al., 2007). Um crescente fluxo de pesquisa em INV tentou entender as causas, processos e resultados da decisão das PMEs em entrar em mercados estrangeiros. Um ponto comum diz respeito ao papel da aprendizagem e do conhecimento. O conhecimento organizacional, ou sua ausência, foi uma explicação central para a internacionalização em modelos originais baseados em estágios (Uppsala School), mas a teoria INV reconheceu que fatores individuais como experiência internacional, experiência individual dos colaboradores e competências especificas dos colaboradores também podem influenciar o ritmo e especialmente o início do processo de internacionalização. Mais especificamente, algumas evidências empíricas recentes oferecem importantes contributos sobre a internacionalização de pequenas e novas empresas, mostrando que as empresas mais jovens são capazes de compensar sua experiência limitada através da experiência individual anterior dos membros da sua equipa de gestão e por meio de redes relacionais. Embora a internacionalização tenha sido um tópico proeminente no campo de pesquisa da EF, as novas abordagens que surgiram nas últimas décadas têm sido negligenciadas. Neste trabalho, pretendemos colmatar esta lacuna, concentrando-nos nas INV. A revisão da literatura destacou fatores como redes relacionais, competências específicas e experiência internacional dos trabalhadores como agentes indutores do processo de internacionalização da empresa. O nosso estudo empírico, realizado com 320 empresas portuguesas, através das metodologias de Análise Exploratória de Dados e Inferência Estatística Univariada, confirmou estes resultados. Este estudo lança esta questão de pesquisa futura em EF, com o objetivo de entender melhor as estratégias de internacionalização dessas empresas.
