As empresas que estão inseridas num cluster acedem a recursos aí partilhados que lhes proporcionam vantagens competitivas. Todavia, o acesso a esses recursos é condicionado pela forma como a empresa vê e interpreta a sua rede de relacionamentos no cluster. Deste modo, o propósito deste artigo é analisar em que medida a perspectiva da empresa sobre a sua rede de relacionamentos num cluster pode ser considerada como um determinante do acesso aos recursos partilhados nesse cluster. Através de um estudo empírico realizado em 200 empresas inseridas no cluster de calçado de Felgueiras e Guimarães, no norte de Portugal, e recorrendo a modelos de regressão linear simples, verificámos que, globalmente, as empresas que acreditam que a rede de relacionamentos do cluster é importante para o seu sucesso futuro incluem-se mais intensamente no cluster e acedem a mais recursos partilhados nesse cluster.

Firm growth and innovation: Towards a typology of innovation strategy

2013
This article discusses innovation across the firm’s life cycle. By discussing how firms’ innovation decisions change over time and across the different stages of firm growth, we add to the literature on innovation and strategy by proposing a typology of innovation strategy. In this original contribution, innovation strategies are categorized in terms of the type of innovation (product and process) and its degree of novelty (incremental and radical). Crossing these decisions we identify four innovation strategies: product development; learning by experience; discovery; and restructuring. In our integrative view of technological innovation and firm growth, we propose that each of the four innovation strategies develop over the firm’s growth stages (start-up, expansion, maturity, diversification, and exit), therefore making a conceptual contribution to our knowledge on innovation strategy. We concluded by suggesting further research on this topic.

Inter-organizational learning within an institutional knowledge network: a case study in the textile and clothing industry

2017
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to focus on the interaction process between organizations of a knowledge network as a means to promote learning. In particular, the authors aim to answer the following research questions: how do dyadic and network relationships contribute to inter-organizational creation and transfer of knowledge? More specifically, which joint activities between organizations facilitate inter-organizational learning within a knowledge network? That is, the authors are interested in the relationship processes for inter-organisational learning, aiming to identify and understand the joint activities through which organizations within an institutional network generate and transfer knowledge. Design/methodology/approach – Aiming at studying how six institutional actors generate and transfer knowledge, the existing dyadic relationships between a focal actor (a technological center of the textile and clothing industry – CITEVE) and each one of the other five institutional actors were studied. In the study of this knowledge network the authors analyzed several documental sources and carried out 19 interviews. Findings – This study shows how dyadic and network relationships contribute to inter-organisational creation and transfer of knowledge. It assesses several joint activities through which organizations in the studied network learn with each other and compares the five dyadic relationships in terms of their distinctive features. Through the cooperative effort based on joint activities between actors, the studied network generates complementary and multidisciplinary knowledge aiming to promote network learning of the studied organizations. Management implications and suggestions for further research on network learning are discussed. Originality/value – This paper adds to the literature on network learning and management by empirically illustrating how a network of organizations in a given industry contributes to knowledge generation. It is an original contribution because, first, it allows a better understanding of how organizations of a knowledge network interact and contribute for network learning. In particular, the paper identifies a large number of joint activities for inter-organizational learning in the context of a traditional industry. Second, the research shows empirically how such interaction and learning occur in practice within a network context that comprises only institutional actors.

Differences of absorptive capacity between firms within a cluster

2013
Firms located within a cluster have access to tacit, complex and specific local knowledge which allow them to develop competitive advantage. However, firms have no equal ability to access and to apply that knowledge, meaning that not all have a similar knowledge absorptive capacity. Using a sample of the largest Portuguese firms within a footwear cluster, this paper examines whether there are significant differences in firms' absorptive capacity and whether such differences within a cluster are related to firms' specific characteristics. The results suggest that absorptive capacity is significantly associated with the firms’ characteristics, namely size, export intensity and position within the cluster.

Industry- and firm-specific factors of innovation novelty

2014
This article investigates the underlying factors that might shape the firm’s choices with respect to degrees of innovation novelty. Using a sample of 2983 firms observed under the Portuguese Community Innovation Survey, we assess the relative relevance of a set of firm- and industry-specific factors in explaining firms’ choices about incremental or radical innovation. The results indicate that both the firm’s idiosyncratic historical factors giving rise to heterogeneous R&D capabilities and the industry context have power to shape the firm’s innovation choices, even though firm-specific factors appear to be more powerful. The estimated impacts on firm’s innovation novelty are, nonetheless, significantly moderated by the type of firm and industry.

Firms' innovation and co-location in Portugal

2015
This paper investigates the geographical distribution and concentration of firms’ innovation persistence and innovation type (product and process) based on three waves of the Portuguese Community Innovation Survey data covering the period 1998–2006. The main findings are: 1) both innovation persistence and innovation type are asymmetrically distributed across Portuguese regions, 2) the degree of correlation between geographical location and innovative output varies with the innovation type, and 3) the correlation between geographical unit and innovation increases when the spatial unit of analysis is narrower. The results suggest that the firms’ choices of geographical location have a long-lasting effect, engendering no equal probabilities of being persistently innovative.

Estudo de casos sobre transferência de tecnologia para spin-offs universitárias em Portugal

2012
A universidade é uma fonte para o desenvolvimento de novos produtos e serviços baseados no conhecimento e tecnologia. A transferência de tecnologia da universidade para a indústria pode ser feita através de vários mecanismos como a criação de spinoffs universitários. Este artigo analisa quatro spinoffs universitários e os gabinetes de apoio à transferência de tecnologia e empreendedorismo de duas universidades portuguesas, contribuindo, desta forma, para um melhor conhecimento sobre um fenómeno emergente em vários países. Os resultados encontrados revelam que a universidade se mostra mais presente na fase inicial do processo de transferência. A entrada de financiadores viabiliza os spinoffs, mas na maioria dos casos implica para o universitário fundador a perda da maioria do capital e o controlo do spinoff criado em contexto académico. No processo de transferência de tecnologia para os spinoffs universitários identificaram-se ainda as seguintes principais dificuldades: custos associados à inovação, défice de investimento, e conquista de credibilidade e de parceiros estratégicos.

Este artigo identifica os obstáculos à gestão do conhecimento nas escolas de gestão e economia do ensino superior público em Portugal. Assume a gestão do conhecimento como um processo colectivo e interactivo que envolve a geração, codificação e transferência do conhecimento. No âmbito duma pesquisa sobre gestão do conhecimento no ensino superior em Portugal, procedeu-se à aplicação de um questionário junto de docentes das escolas de gestão e economia do ensino público, tendo-se obtido 142 respostas válidas para tratamento de dados. Os dados foram submetidos a uma análise descritiva e factorial tendo-se identificado os seguintes principais obstáculos à gestão do conhecimento: liderança e organização, comunicação, e recursos organizacionais.
