- Accounting education in an action-based learning environment: lessons learnedPublication . Silva, Paulino; Freitas Santos, José; Vieira, IsabelIn the context of the Bologna Declaration a change is taking place in the teaching/learning paradigm. From teaching-centered education, which emphasizes the acquisition and transmission of knowledge, we now speak of learning-centered education, which is more demanding for students. This paradigm promotes a continuum of lifelong learning, where the individual needs to be able to handle knowledge, to select what is appropriate for a particular context, to learn permanently and to understand how to learn in new and rapidly changing situations. One attempt to face these challenges has been the experience of ISCAP regarding the teaching/learning of accounting in the course Managerial Simulation. This paper describes the process of teaching, learning and assessment in an action-based learning environment. After a brief general framework that focuses on education objectives, we report the strengths and limitations of this teaching/learning tool. We conclude with some lessons from the implementation of the project.
- Análise das determinantes à receptividade ao bluetooth marketing pelo consumidor português – um estudo empíricoPublication . Gonçalves, Paulo; Sá, Inês; Vilas-Boas, MadalenaWith the increasing technological innovation, the concept of marketing and its applications become more functional and wide. Today is visible the development of mobile marketing campaigns, ie marketing campaigns for mobile devices (mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs, tablets). Taking advantage of mobile devices services (bluetooth networks, Wi-Fi, WAP, SMS service, MMS) as a vehicle to approach and communicate with consumers, bluetooth technology is a potential way of mobile marketing to become increasingly less invasive to consumers. This study seeks to answer the question "what factors may motivate the Portuguese consumer to adopt the bluetooth marketing?". According to the literature review on the concept of mobile marketing, bluetooth marketing and consumer behaviour theories, we propose a conceptual model capable of investigating the relationships between the determinants of responsiveness to bluetooth marketing. The empirical study developed from a set of hypotheses and implementation of an online questionnaire to a sample of 755 respondents, demonstrated that there is a relationship between factors such as, technology ease of use, file exchanging and influence of peers, and the receptivity to bluetooth marketing. Also information value of mobile advertising messages, such as entertainment and personalization relates to responsiveness. The consumer’s perceived control over mobile promotional messages and the safety features of the technology, also showed a positive relationship with the receptivity to bluetooth marketing.

- Boas práticas de recrutamento e seleção: análise das unidades hoteleiras da região do norte de PortugalPublication . Rua, Orlando Lima; Carvalho, AbelEste estudo tem como objetivo fundamental compreender as boas práticas de recrutamento e seleção das unidades hoteleiras do Norte de Portugal. Adotando uma abordagem metodológica quantitativa, aplicamos como instrumento um questionário das melhores práticas de recrutamento e seleção às unidades hoteleiras da região. Os resultados obtidos sobre as práticas de recrutamento e seleção utilizadas permitem concluir que atualmente a maioria das unidades hoteleiras do Norte de Portugal são PME, não tem departamento de RH, a gestão dos RH é sobretudo assegurada pela gestão financeira ou administrativa. Por outro lado, não possuem recursos humanos especializados e realizam de forma insuficiente testes de emprego onde as pessoas têm de demonstrar as suas habilidades e competências. Contudo, os gestores hoteleiros têm a noção de que no futuro as boas práticas, neste domínio, deve evoluir no sentido de suprir esta significativa lacuna neste tipo de organizações.
- Business micro-location: factors, preferences and indicators to assess the influence factorsPublication . Santos, José de FreitasThe paper presents a study on business micro-location behaviour as well as corresponding factors of influence, conducted in two metropolitan areas, Bucharest-Ilfov (Romania) and Greater Porto (Portugal). By business micro-location we refer to a specific site such as a building or facility, accommodating a business within a small, compact geographical area (e.g. metropolitan area). At this geographical scale, the macroeconomic layer factors were excluded, applicable when discern between regions or countries. The factors derived from location theory and previous empirical studies were surveyed, completing a cross-sectional analysis in order to find out the specific weights of the location factors and preferences, by region and by industry. Based on already established firms’ feedback on location, the specific weights were granted by each industry to the main location factors, types of areas, and types of accommodation facilities. The authors also suggested a model to integrate these results into a Geographical Information System (GIS).

Garrido-Ruso, María; Aibar-Guzmán, Beatriz; Monteiro, Albertina PaulaCompanies worldwide can play a fundamental role in the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda.This paper aims to determine the scope of the existing literature about the role that organizationsplay in contributing to the advancement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A bibliometricanalysis is conducted considering the papers specifically focused on SDGs and businesses publishedfrom 2015 to 2021 in journals indexed in the Scopus database. The analysis shows that approximately80% of the studies on this topic have been published in the last three years. Moreover, only onejournal (Sustainability) has published more than the 50% of the publications on the subject. The finalsample is divided into 11 clusters that analyze different perspectives within the same research topic,and, in all these clusters, practically all of the papers have been published in the last two years, whichconfirms that this issue is increasing its presence in the academic world. This work extends theexisting research on the subject, taking into account the publications of the last year, so it is an updateon this “hot topic”. Moreover, it contributes to providing a reference frame of the state of the art ofthis research topic and can orientate researchers in the development of future studies.
- Counterfeiting and demographics: what factors influence the buying process of Portuguese consumers?Publication . Freitas Santos, José; Bernardino, Susana; Antunes, IsabelPurpose | Counterfeiting is a worldwide spread phenomenon with serious economic, social and political impacts on the society. The global illicit trade in goods comes first from China as producing and exporting country (80%) followed by countries such as Turkey, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong. This study intends to examine the demographic profile of consumers and compare this profile by region from consumers who admit to purchase counterfeit products in Portugal. Specifically, it aims to investigate whether demographic profile and region of purchasing are able to impact the decision factors that drive consumers to buy counterfeit products. Methodology/Approach | To attain the research purposes, a quantitative methodology was used. An online survey was conducted during July and August of 2022 to collect primary data on Portuguese consumers. The study included a total of 304 valid responses. Expected Results | The investigation reveals that a high proportion of consumers have been involved in some way in the purchase of counterfeit products, although consumers distinguish between counterfeit products that can be dangerous for its well-being (medicine) and vanity (clothes and shoes, perfume), and relatively risk-free (auto-parts, machinery) products. The study developed shows that the factors that influence the buying process of counterfeiting products in Portugal can be grouped into intangible (status, brand, design, exclusivity, fashion) and rational (price, perceived quality and personal satisfaction) factors. The findings suggest that only in one factor (price) and for age and education, the demographic characteristics seems to be dominant in the moment of buying counterfeit products. Finally, the analysis of the region of acquisition of the counterfeited goods shows no impact in the factors of acquisition of this type of products.
