- Putting the magnifying glass on minorities groups in entrepreneurship: What can we observe?Publication . Sampaio, Carlos; Farinha, Luís; Sebastião, João Renato; Fernandes, António MarquesAlthough entrepreneurship plays a critical role in fostering economic development, erasing inequality, and generating more balanced societies, a gap concerning the course, nature, and state-of-the-art of minority entrepreneurship scientific literature need to be fulfilled. A hybrid methodology, combining bibliometric methods and topic models (latent Drichlet allocation) is used to perform a thematic analysis of the minority entrepreneurship research stream. The analysis provides insight into the most relevant research themes as well as further research agenda.
- Social innovation and social entrepreneurship : uncovering themes, trends, and discoursePublication . Sampaio, Carlos; Sebastião, João RenatoThe world is marked by persistent and recurring socio-economic and environmental changes. The domains of social innovation and social entrepreneurship have gained prominence as catalysts for positive change and societal resilience. Despite the substantial body of literature assessing social innovation and social entrepreneurship, most studies address these topics through analyses of scientific production output or through systematic literature reviews. Conversely, the main objective of this paper is to conduct a thematic analysis of the existing scientific literature on social innovation and social entrepreneurship, published across various geographical contexts, to assess themes, trends, and discourse within these fields worldwide. Therefore, it synthesizes, analyzes, and evaluates the evolving landscape of social innovation and social entrepreneurship research over time, employing a sliding windows methodology. This approach divides the analyzed period into distinct times to meticulously track changes in themes and discourse over time. To accomplish this objective, this paper examines the evolving thematic dynamics of social innovation and social entrepreneurship within the scientific literature, serving as a driver and compelling researchers and practitioners to explore new dimensions in social innovation and social entrepreneurship. Evidence from the analysis is discussed, including the main theoretical and practical implications and proposals for future research. This paper emphasizes the importance of adaptive and resilient approaches within the domains of social innovation and social entrepreneurship and contributes to a deeper understanding of how social innovation and social entrepreneurship evolve and adapt over time, shedding light on the transformative potential of social innovation and social entrepreneurship.
- Estimativas de justo valor e mercados financeirosPublication . Sampaio, CarlosInvestidores, financiadores e outros credores tomam decisões tendo por base as divulgações efetuadas pelas entidades, especificamente a informação constante nas demonstrações financeiras. Tomando em consideração os efeitos das bases de mensuração na preparação das demonstrações financeiras, e os requisitos de informação dos utentes da informação financeira, este artigo aborda o tema da mensuração pelo justo valor e a sua relação com o comportamento dos mercados financeiros. Recorre-se à crise financeira de 2008-2009 para exemplificar esta relação.

- Market orientation and hotel industry: developing a measurement modelPublication . Sampaio, Carlos; Hernández-Mogollón, José Manuel; Rodrigues, Ricardo GouveiaThis study seeks to fill a gap in market orientation literature about the hotel industry and deals with the construction of a market orientation scale tailored based on a sample obtained from the hotel industry in a multicultural context. The proposed model has three dimensions: intelligence generation, intelligence dissemination and coordinated response to the client, competition and market structure domains. Research results indicate that the scale has good psychometric indicators. Content validity was assessed by questioning a group of marketing experts across Western Europe. Working data indicates that the proposed model holds convergent and discriminant validity as well reliability.

- How the 2008–2009 Financial crisis shaped fair value accounting literature: a bibliometric approachPublication . Sampaio, Carlos; Farinha, Luís; Sebastião, João Renato; Régio, MónicaThis study aims to fulfil a gap in the literature, delivering a road map to understand the course and nature of the fair value accounting literature, further showing how the 2008–2009 financial crisis affected it. Bibliometric methods analyze 377 documents retrieved from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Results show a heavy increase in fair value accounting literature starting due to the 2008–2009 financial crisis, further showing a shift from fair value accounting regulations to topics such as fair value measurement, earnings management, value relevance, and banks. Results provide further evidence about relevant themes, showing that topics related to financial crises stay relevant, even during times of growth.

- Assessing the relationship between market orientation and business performance in the hotel industry: the mediating role of service qualityPublication . Sampaio, Carlos; Hernández-Mogollón, José Manuel; Rodrigues, Ricardo GouveiaPurpose This study aims to explore the nature of the relationship between market orientation and business performance in the Portuguese hotel industry and to evaluate the mediating role of service quality in this relationship. Design/methodology/approach A literature analysis on market orientation, service quality and hotel business performance was conducted. The structural model was developed, and the measurement scales’ items were generated. Working data were obtained by sending a survey to Portuguese hotel managers. A purification process was conducted, and the convergent and discriminant validity, as well the reliability, of the measurement models were assessed. The structural model was tested by conducting a path analysis, as well by evaluating the coefficient of determination (R2) and the predictive relevance indicator (Q2). Findings Research results show that market orientation has a positive direct effect on business performance. Moreover, results indicate that market orientation effects on business performance are mediated throughout the hotels’ ability to provide service quality. Originality/value Despite the large amount of research on market orientation, research on the hospitality sector has been conducted mainly using tools developed for the manufacturing and consumer goods sectors. On the other hand, little has been done to explore the nature of the mediating effect of service quality on the relationship between market orientation and business performance in the hotel industry. Moreover, despite the contribution of the tourism industry to the Portuguese gross domestic product, research on the hotel industry is scarce.
- Price strategy, market orientation and business performance in the hotel industryPublication . Sampaio, Carlos; Rodrigues, Ricardo; Hernández-Mogollón, José ManuelThis study seeks to study the relationship between market orientation and business performance and to evaluate the mediating effect of adopting a low-price strategy in this relationship in the hotel industry. A sample from the Spanish and Portuguese hotel industry is used. Results show that the effect of market orientation on business performance is positive and direct. On the other hand, the results do not confirm the mediating effect of a strategy based on low-price in the strength of this relationship. Moreover, results indicate that a price strategy based on low-price is negatively related to hotel business performance.

A mixed approach is performed to conduct the analysis, systematic literature review, content analysis and science mapping technics are employed. Findings show references to multiple important aspects related to Portugal's image, such as landscapes, food, accommodation, and infrastructures.
