- Competitor orientation, pricing strategy, and business performancePublication . Sampaio, Carlos; Rodrigues, Ricardo Gouveia; Hernández-Mogollón, José ManuelThis study proposes to study the nature of the relationship between competitor orientation, a strategy based on low prices and hotel business performance, and to test if a low-price strategy plays a mediating role in the relationship between competitor orientation and business performance. A structural equation modeling approach is used, and a sample from the Italian hotel industry was used to evaluate the proposed hypotheses. Results show that competitor orientation is positively related to business performance and a strategy based on low prices. Furthermore, it is found that a low-price strategy has adverse effects on business performance. Additionally, the mediating role of the low-price strategy was not confirmed.
- Exploring entrepreneurial ecosystemsPublication . Lopes, João; Farinha, Luís; Ferreira, João J.Entrepreneurial ecosystems are now central to the economic policies of nations, with particular relevance in Europe. This chapter intends to explore the evolution of the studies on innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems in order to identify gaps and new perspectives of research that can serve as a reflection to universities, political decisions, and the business fabric. Extensive research was conducted using the Web of Science database. Six clusters were found in the literature on entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems: ecosystems of innovation, entrepreneurship, region, new ventures, technology, and entrepreneurial university. New theoretical perspectives based on bibliometric analysis and new research paths have been identified.
- Fair value accounting: a systematic literature reviewPublication . Sampaio, CarlosThis study aims to analyse the present state of fair value accounting research. A search on the Web of Science database was conducted. Article type documents containing “fair value” and “accounting” in the title were searched, and results returned 34 documents. A systematic literature approach was used to evaluate the articles. Results indicate that the banking sector is the main source of data for fair value accounting research. On the other hand, the adoption of fair value accounting seems to produce different results according to the type of industry sample used, the temporal context of the study, financial turmoil, or the evaluated assets and liabilities.
- Flipping the best journals in accounting, business and finance: what fruits do we collect?Publication . Farinha, Luís; Cruz, Ana; Sebastião, Joãohe literature on accounting, business, and finance, as a sub-area of the sciences of administration and management, has been receiving strong attention from researchers since the 1950s. This study´s main goal is to evaluate the nature and course of development of the literature on these research areas. A bibliometric analysis on the top journals published on the Web of Science and on the Scopus databases is conducted. Results synthesize the conceptual framework related to this area of science, identifying the roots of its intellectual structure, which give life to the respective tree of knowledge. New paths for future research are outlined.

- Following the footprints of SME competitiveness in a high-technology sectorPublication . Farinha, Luís; Bagchi-Sen, SharmisthaThis chapter examines the competitiveness footprints of SMEs within a high-tech cluster. A mixed methodology combining quantitative and qualitative data is used. More specifically, a case study is offered to show trends in innovative and entrepreneurial collaboration associated with an internationally competitive high-tech cluster. The findings shed light on the importance of collective efficiency strategies, with a focus on RD&I, implemented by SMEs that operate in an international and competitive market. This chapter highlights the lessons learned in two specific aspects: the role of innovation in the competitiveness of SMEs and the role of innovation and entrepreneurship networks in enhancing the functions of a high-technology industrial cluster, the Portuguese Engineering and Tooling Cluster.
- Knowledge and Technology Transfer in Tourism SMEsPublication . Lopes, João; Farinha, LuísThis chapter analyzes the dynamics underlying the mechanisms of transfer of knowledge and technology between academia and the tourism industry. Two interviews and research were applied to managers of SMEs. SMEs consider highly educated employees central to the knowledge transfer process, but do not give any incentive to their employees to graduate. It is not always possible to recruit young talents from higher education, as they prefer to go to work for large metropolises. The main barriers for collaboration in R&D academia-industry in the tourism sector are the cost, lack of interest on the part of higher education institutions, and the bureaucratic and time-consuming process. Regarding networking, SMEs agree that they create value, but also consider incorporating a regional innovation ecosystem. SMEs should use a competitive differentiation strategy.

- Oportunidades, incentivos e recursos para empreenderPublication . Piteira, Margarida; Cruz, Ana; Valente, Fernando; Costa, TeresaO empreendedorismo tem-se constituído como objeto de estudo na literatura dos últimos tempos. Em paralelo, tem-se evidenciado em diversos e vastos projetos de investigação, para além de se constituir como um pilar essencial para o desenvolvimento económico. Um exemplo claro desta tendência é o Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), referência a nível mundial na monitorização das dinâmicas de empreendedorismo no mundo, sendo defendido como um fator de crescimento económico e sugerindo políticas adequadas para incentivar a atividade empreendedora. De igual modo, diversas têm sido as perspetivas pelas quais o empreendedorismo tem sido discutido. Assumindo um olhar mais economicista e gestionário das suas problemáticas, as dimensões das oportunidades, incentivos e recursos para empreender são incontornáveis. Num mundo incerto, volátil e hipercompetitivo, o sucesso do empreendedorismo depende da capacidade do empreendedor em detetar novos mercados e oportunidades de negócios, bem como da sua capacidade em mobilizar eficazmente os recursos e incentivos para o desenvolvimento do seu empreendimento.
- Regional innovation ecosystems: tuning the regional engine’s Helix through smart specializationPublication . Lopes, João; Ferreira, João J.; Oliveira, Márcio; Farinha, Luís; Oliveira, JoséThe present research aims to contribute for the analysis of the theoretical evolution of the triple helix, quadruple helix, quintuple helix, and multiple helix concepts, embracing the dynamic interaction of different stakeholders in the context of regional innovation systems. Following a preliminary literature review on the subject, it was possible to develop a systematic literature review with a bibliometric analysis of research that addressed the evolution of the triple helix until the multiple helix, into the regional innovation systems perspective. Extensive research was conducted using the Web of Science database between 1990 and 2018, covering a total of 378 articles, generators of 9991 citations. Four clusters were found in the literature for this field of research: R&D Collaborations and Innovation; Entrepreneurial Activity in Entrepreneurial University; Triple Helix Dynamics; and Quadruple Helix in Regional Innovation Systems. New theoretical perspectives based on bibliometric analysis and new research paths have been identified, aiming to better understand the regional interaction of stakeholders for innovation and entrepreneurship.
