This 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.
The main objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive view of academic studies
that address simultaneously the circular economy and industrial symbiosis, based on bibliometric
data for the years 1900 to 2018. Data are collected in Web of Science using the VOSviewer software.
Bibliometric indicators, network citation, cluster analysis, and density view analysis are used. From
our findings we highlight four clusters in the research, which help to contextualize the literature
review: (a) circular economy: approaches and tools; (b) industrial symbiosis Dynamics; (c) circular
economy: strategies and performance; (d) the efficiency of resources in symbiosis industry. This
study also establishes perspectives for future lines of research and, correspondingly, seeks to
provide a theoretical basis that can serve as a starting point for future studies.
Making smart regions smarter through smart specialization strategies (RIS3) is today on the political and economic agenda. In this context, it becomes a priority to know the regional stakeholders' perception of RIS3, based on the prioritization of the use of resources and capacities in their territories. The aim of this study is to perform a bibliometric analysis with the keywords smart specialization, regional innovation systems, and value, rareness, imitability, and organization (VRIO). The authors aim to contribute to the clarification of the literature on regional innovation ecosystems. They also intend to suggest a new model that allows the VRIO model to be adapted to the territories. Through extensive research using the Web of Science database, five clusters were identified (multiple helix; smart specialization and RIS3; innovation and entrepreneurship; regional policies and knowledge transfer and technology commercialization; regional growth, entrepreneurial, and innovative ecosystem), whose content analysis allowed to construct the conceptual regional helix assessment model.

This study proposes a performance measurement adjusted to the conceptual model "multiple helix ecosystem for sustainable competitiveness" (Peris Ortiz et al., 2016), supported in innovation and entrepreneurship networks, in order to contribute to the improvement of sustainable competitiveness of territories. A systematic literature review was carried out between the years 1900 and 2016, based on the study keywords. The proposed performance measurement model was conceived from the "Multiple Helix Ecosystem" concept, allowing its empirical verification applied to national and regional economies.

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.
The recent change in the regional development strategy of the European Union (EU) results in an important need to study the terms of change and their respective implications. This study seeks, through a bibliometric analysis, to ascertain the developments taking place in studies on research and innovation strategies for smart specialisation (RIS3) to identify shortcomings and opportunities for future research. This bibliometric review drew upon the Scopus database with the sample selected containing all the articles containing the keywords “Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation” or “RIS3.” This correspondingly reports how some authors maintain that the path the EU should take involves imitative innovation. Meanwhile, others propose that each region should specialise in those industries that are already established there and thus avoid targeting any areas they do not already know/specialise in. Our findings detail six clusters in RIS3 research, which help in contextualising the literature review: (a) business discovery; (b) smart specialisation; (c) innovation; (d) specialisation; (e) regional policies; and (f) regional development. This study furthermore sets out perspectives for future lines of research and correspondingly seeks to convey a vast theoretical basis
that may serve as the point of departure for future studies.
This research aims to evaluate the stakeholders’ perception on the areas of smart specialization strategy (RIS3) defined for a given region. A quantitative methodology was followed through questionnaires applied to different stakeholders from two Portuguese island regions (Madeira and Azores); regional VRIO model was tested for these regions. The results of the research indicate that stakeholder perception is not the same as its policy makers in the areas of smart specialization defined in the RIS3 of the region where they belong. Our research provides support to policy makers in regional strategies modeling, assessing, and measuring island regional performance. Furthermore, this research suggests measures to conduit the gaps found in the island regions’ smart specialization strategies.
Global competition is today a reality and making smart regions smarter through smart specialization
is currently on the political and economic agenda of territories. This study aims to contribute to
clarifying the framework for the regional innovation ecosystems as well as identifying new research
paths. Through extensive research using the Web of Science database with resource to a bibliometric
analysis on smart specialization, six clusters were identified: cluster 1 – innovation networks and
triple helix; cluster 2 - regional innovation systems; cluster 3 – regional innovation network; cluster
4 - smart innovation policies; cluster 5 – smart specialization; and cluster 6 - Asian innovation
systems. Several future lines of research recently published in literature distributed by the six
clusters were identified. This study also contributes to open new research horizons in these areas of
knowledge, allowing the emergence of new streams of thought on the part of scholars, policymakers,
economic agents and society in general.
This research seeks to identify the factors that best explain the performance of regional innovation in Europe, in the era of smart specialization. Data were collected from the Regional Innovation Scoreboard 2016 and a quantitative methodology was followed using linear regressions as statistical methods. The results allowed us to reach four explanatory models of performance innovation for Innovative Regions Leader, Strong, Moderate and Modest. Some policies have also been suggested as possible regional innovation measures that can help policy makers to clarify and improve the innovation performance of these regions.
This study aims at assessing stakeholder perceptions regarding the suitability of smart/intelligent specialisation strategies defined for their framework regions. We adopted a quantitative methodology through questionnaire surveys of the different stakeholders in Portuguese regions in keeping with the VRIO model applied to the regions. The study results emphasise that stakeholder perceptions of the appropriateness of the smart specialisation strategies defined for their framework regions does not coincide with the intelligent specialisation strategies defined by their policy makers. This study attempts to contribute to an innovative framework which helps policy-makers assessing and measuring the regional performance. The study furthermore proposes measures to bridge the gaps found in the regional smart specialisation strategies.
Nonprofit sector integrates an important part of the economy, which serves as a critical factor for social change. Social innovation and social entrepreneurship are of paramount importance for the nonprofit sector aiming to solve social needs. The purpose of this paper is, through bibliometric mapping techniques, based on 2695 documents, to understand thematic evolution of social innovation and social entrepreneurship. The main conclusion is that, from the analysis, we can see that the scientific production in this field of knowledge has intensified in recent years, but the centrality and the search density undergo major changes. New paths for future research are outlined.
The 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.
This research aims to identify which factors best explain business dynamics and innovation
capacity in the continents of Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and North
America. To achieve this, data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor and the Global Competitiveness
Report is used. The linear regression method is utilized with the stepwise procedure for data
analysis. It is possible to ascertain that, with a view to increasing innovation capacity in the African
continent, business leaders and managers should be acquainted with innovation studies to better
understand technological advances. In relation to Asia, the detected models of business dynamism
and capacity for innovation are positive. On the European continent, the results show that RIS3
has a positive impact on the capacity for innovation. In Latin America and the Caribbean, it seems
that business dynamism and the capacity for innovation are negative and regional development
policies should be more flexible. In North America, it appears that business dynamism and the
capacity for innovation are negative. The research contributes with measures that can be applied
by organizations and policymakers to these five continents to improve the performance of business
dynamism and the capacity for innovation in their territories. The resulting data give originality
to the research as well as important contributions, not only to the theory, but also to the entities
(organizations and governments) acting in the field who can implement new policies, such as tax
incentives to companies for the first purchase of high-tech equipment, products, or products with
intellectual property rights developed by national companies and provide support policies directed
to companies that purchase high-tech domestic equipment.

O presente relatório pretende apresentar o desenvolvimento do projeto: “Um olhar para o futuro”, um projeto de sensibilização ambiental com um olhar para um público-alvo infantil. Um projeto que engloba a área de Design Editorial, Ilustração, Animação 2D, Captação e edição de vídeo e Som. Ao longo do relatório será apresentado todo o processo, desde o estudo feito acerca das áreas trabalhadas, do público-alvo (crianças dos 7 aos 9 anos), do tema e, por fim, toda a fase de conceção do projeto. Neste projeto é pretendido implementar um meio viável de comunicar informações, para que as crianças aprendam sobre a temática em causa. Desta forma, conseguimos facilitar a aprendizagem desta temática pelas crianças que, por vezes, veem-na como algo pouco atrativo, e garantimos a apreensão do conteúdo dos produtos desenvolvidos ao longo do projeto. No entanto, é desafiante, enquanto grupo sem experiência prévia neste público-alvo, captar o tipo de linguagem textual e visual adequada e comunicar de forma clara e apelativa, para uma fácil apreensão da informação transmitida. Para a conceção dos produtos finais realizou-se um estudo sobre o tema principal deste projeto, o público-alvo e a área de trabalho, nomeadamente, ilustração, design editorial, narrativa audiovisual, captação de imagem e animação 2D e, após todo esse estudo, desenvolveram-se um livro e quatro vídeos alusivos aos temas da desflorestação, poluição, reciclagem e transformação do lixo. Com este projeto pretendemos determinar a viabilidade dos produtos finais, para que estes sejam implementados pela Câmara Municipal de Castelo Branco como uma estratégia de consciencialização da comunidade para as questões ambientais, integrando estes meios de comunicação em eventos com público infantil, incluindo as escolas primárias.
This paper sought to analyse the dynamics underlying university technology transfer and commercialisation mechanisms. We adopt a qualitative research methodology, which incorporates different case studies, interviews and applied research of the actors involved in universities, business incubators and start-ups. While limited to three case studies, this paper does highlight the technology transfer mechanisms and the support provided to commercialisation, including the identification of the difficulties and opportunities present within the context of cooperation networks. By surveying those running incubators and incubator company managers in conjunction with analysis of research, development and innovation (RDI) cooperative projects backed by European funding, we were able to gain insights into the different processes of transferring and commercialising technology. Falling within the framework of the third component of universities’ mission, this article demonstrates not only the importance of RDI cooperation networks but also how the consequent commercialisation of new products and services generates positive consequences for economic growth.
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to involve the differences in the entrepreneurial intentions of student
at higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Portuguese regions (mainland and insular).
Design/methodology/approach – Applying a sample of 594 valid responses, the authors analyzed the
data according to linear regression models.
Findings – The results convey how HEI students generally do not intend to become entrepreneurs in both
the mainland and the insular regions. Although HEI students broadly do not aim to launch their own
businesses, the results show that students in mainland regions feel they have the skills to start a business and
drive it to success. In insular regions, students feel encouraged by their friends and family to set up their own
business. When comparing insular and mainland regions, the results demonstrate how in insular regions,
there is a greater probability that HEI students become entrepreneurs than in the mainland regions.
Furthermore, entrepreneurial intentions in the mainland regions develop in terms of “opportunities” while
driven by necessity in the insular regions.
Practical implications – This furthermore makes recommendations to regional governments and to HEIs
in order to enable better encouragement of entrepreneurship in academia.
Originality/value – This study is original and innovative due to its comparison of the entrepreneurial intentions
prevailing in mainland and insular regions and may propose new highlights to the academic scientific literature.
This paper aims to illustrate the entrepreneurial performance of economies taking into account the variables present in the entrepreneurial framework conditions. The methodology used in the research is exploratory, descriptive and quantitative. We used a process that combines Factorial Analysis with Cluster Analysis. Considering the entrepreneurial framework variables conditions, our results indicate that there are four groups in economies: 1) Moderate Entrepreneurial Performance; 2) Emerging Entrepreneurial Performance; 3) High-Income Economies; and 4) Advanced Entrepreneurial Economies. Our research also denotes where economies need to develop new policies to improve their entrepreneurial performance and competitiveness. This research brings new contributions to science and existing literature as it helps to understand and clarify the entrepreneurial performance of economies relative to entrepreneurial framework conditions.
This paper aims to understand how the different stakeholders assess the adequacy of smart specialization policies defined for their regions. Design/methodology/approach
This paper has followed a quantitative methodology through the application of questionnaire surveys to stakeholders of the various territorial regions in Portugal.
Findings
As a result, from the “resource-based view” approach applied to the various regions, the attained results highlight that the suitability of smart specialization policies defined for the Portuguese regions is not unanimous among its stakeholders.
Originality/value
The research can be used as a tool to assist regional policymakers in strategic reflection when defining and adjusting smart specialization strategies in their territories.

Purpose – Regional innovation performance is an important indicator for decision-making regarding the
implementation of policies intended for regional development. However, regional development policies have
led economies to very different competitive positions in matters of innovation. To address these issues, this
paper aims to identify the variables that most contribute to the positioning of economies in terms of
performance innovation in Europe.
Design/methodology/approach – The data for this study were collected at the regional innovation
scoreboard. This paper uses a quantitative methodology through a multivariate statistical technique
(discriminant analysis).
Findings – The results suggest that specific innovation strategies explain the competitive positioning of
economies within each group of countries. It was possible to demonstrate that economies with leader
classification show greater comparative robustness in the variables “Small and medium enterprise (SMEs)
with product or process innovations,” “SMEs with product or process innovations,” “research and
development (R&D) expenditure public sector” and “population with tertiary education,” constituting an
effective instrument of innovation policy. Furthermore, it was possible to show that the economies belonging
to the modest group do not have a competitive advantage in any of the variables under study, thus providing
a reflection opportunity for policymakers at this level.
Originality/value – The present research identifies which variables are most relevant to the classification
considering the regional innovation performance in leader, strong, moderate and modest. Several suggestions were given to companies, policymakers and higher education institutions in the sense that the regions where they operate can improve their innovative performance, which may help to a change in their current classification.
