Building innovation networks: the process of partner selection by young knowle...
Sousa, C.; Fontes, M.This paper addresses the selection of partners in innovation networks. It builds on the existing literature to develop an integrative framework that encompasses the main factors identified as influencing selection of partners by young knowledge-intensive firms. It considers that both persistence and novelty are present in the network building process, and so integrates several explanations advanced by the liter...
Mechanisms that accelerate the diffusion of renewable technologies in new marke...
Bento, N.; Fontes, M.; DINÂMIA, MariaThe spatial diffusion of sustainable innovations and the importance of local absorptive capacity in early adoption are studied through the comparison of the diffusion of wind energy in Denmark and Portugal. The novelty of this research consists in revealing patterns of spatial growth and explaining them with the help of concepts issued from the sustainability transitions literature. In particular, the technolog...
Entry by research-based spin-offs: the determinants of regional variation
Conceição, O.; Fontes, M.; Faria, A.P.Reflecting the increasing number of research based spin-offs (RBSOs) created since the nineties, previous studies focus their analysis on the factors that influence university entrepreneurship. However, empirical studies that investigate the determinants of variation on RBSO creation across regions are scarce. Using a unique self-collected dataset that comprehends the population of RBSOs created in Portugal fro...
Policies to Foster the Creation of Research-Based Spin-offs in Portugal
Fontes, M.; Matias, S.This paper presents a brief overview of the main government and institutional policies and mechanisms that promote and support (directly or indirectly) the creation of research-based spin-offs, as well as of the institutional changes that have been introduced to facilitate the commercial exploitation of results from academic research. In addition, there is an attempt to conduct a very preliminary assessment of ...
A brief overview of the evolution and main features of the biotechnology industry
Fontes, M.; Videira, P.This paper offers an overview of the origin, evolution and main features of the biotechnology industry, putting particular emphasis on the behaviour of one key actor – the dedicated biotechnology firm. It starts with a brief historical background detailing the origin and dynamics of the industry, which is followed by a more detailed examination of the firms’ strategies, business models and networking behaviour....
Transitions in the energy system: The strategies of new firms commercializing a...
Fontes, M.; Sousa, C.The paper discusses the entry strategies adopted by research-based firms introducing advanced renewable energy technologies in the electricity production sector. Because these firms operate in an environment that combines fast technological change and strong incumbent power, this provides a good setting to address the interactions between niche innovators and regime incumbents. Drawing on contributions from th...
Entry strategies in the face of incumbents dominant position: the case of advan...
Fontes, M.; Sousa, C.; Pimenta, S.The paper discusses the entry strategies adopted by research-based firms introducing advanced renewable energy technologies in the electricity production sector, which combines strong incumbent power with fast technological change. Drawing on contributions from the literatures on sustainability transitions and on strategic management of technology we build an analytical framework to address the conditions faced...
Para um debate sobre Mobilidade e Fuga de Cérebros
Araújo, E.; Fontes, M.; Bento, S.O presente livro encontra-se organizado em cinco capítulos que versam sobre dimensões diferentes da migração de cientistas e quadros altamente qualificados. O livro resulta da atividade diversa em investigação e organização de eventos, conduzida no quadro do projeto MOBScience – trajectórias de mobilidade cientistas portugueses. Foi objetivo das editoras reunir investigação sobre estas temáticas realizada nos a...
Phylogenetic Diversity of Aeromonas from “Alheira”, a Traditional Portuguese Me...
Fontes, M. C.; Martins, C.; Martínez-Murcia, A.; Saavedra, M. J.“Alheira” is a traditional smoked meat sausage produced in the north of Portugal, representing an important economic resource for the region. Eventually, this meat product has been subjected to research studies with the aim to detect the presence of common foodborne pathogens but, to our knowledge, isolation of emerging foodborne Aeromonas from “alheira” has never been previously described. Present work attempt...
Understanding the topologies of innovation networks in knowledge-intensive sectors
Salavisa, I.; Sousa, C.; Fontes, M.The main goal of this paper is to compare the networks mobilised by young entrepreneurial firms from two knowledge intensive sectors – molecular biotechnology and software for telecommunications – to access resources required for innovation. Such a comparison allows similarities and differences between networks to be identified and explained. The analysis focuses on formal and informal networks and on the rele...
