Understanding the ways and the dynamics of collaborative innovation processes: ...
Monteiro, João Pedro Valadas da Silva; Neto, Paulo; Noronha, Teresa deThe Algarve region has always showed a close relationship with the sea as a result of its excellent natural conditions, historical and cultural reasons, and notorious know-how related with traditional maritime activities, such as fisheries and fish processing, and naval industry; more recently, nautical activities, such as tourism and recreational boating, have been gaining increased importance. The region is a...
Regional, national and international networks: the suitability of different com...
Cesário, M.; Noronha, Teresa deThe aim of this paper is to conduct an exploratory investigation on the type of competitive strategies that are likely to be associated with different networking profiles. We focus our attention on response strategies related to investments and technological adjustments, and how they vary according to different spatial scales of firms' networks. We report the results of the application of a common questionnaire...
A differentiation framework for Maritime Clusters. Comparisons Across Europe

Modelling innovation support systems for development
Vaz, Eric; Noronha, Teresa de; Galindo, Purificación Vicente; Nijkamp, PeterThe present article offers a concise theoretical conceptualization on the contribution of innovation to regional development. These concepts are closely related to geographical proximity, knowledge diffusion and filters, and clustering. Institutional innovation profiles and regional patterns of innovation are two mutually linked, novel conceptual elements in this article. Next to a theoretical framing, the pape...
Localised assets and small-firms’ technological capabilities, spatial and organ...
Cesário, M.; Noronha, Teresa deThe main objective of the present work is to empirically show how a set of environmental variables affects the adoption of new technologies by small firms.

Regional, national and international networks: the suitability of different com...
Cesário, M.; Noronha, Teresa deThe continuous capacity of firms to learn is seen by many scholars as the critical solution in order to avoid firms from becoming locked into obsolete technological and competitive trajectories. This is a very common tendency, particularly in peripheral areas and/or labour-intensive industries. Networks are often seen as the channel to overcome the risk that firms may become rigid. By accessing other markets, ...
The effects of globalisation on the performance of labour-intensive industries ...
Cesário, M.; Noronha, Teresa deThis paper focus on the examination of the competitive positioning of textiles, clothes and leather (TCL) sectors, in the actual context of integration within Europe. The first aim of the paper is to empirically confirm the relation between the strong competition from emerging market economies and the regional job loss in these sectors. Secondly, we argue that localised capabilities are important factors for t...
Technological adjustments in textiles, clothes and leather industries: an alter...
Cesário, M.; Noronha, Teresa deLabour-intensive industries, located in medium/high-cost areas are presently facing increasing low-cost competition and outsourcing with tremendous consequences at the regional employment level. The ability to react and technologically adjust to the challenges of these harder market conditions is what determines whether a region is a producer of high value-added goods or just a merely subcontractor. In fact, al...
