Abstract(s)
O objetivo fundamental deste estudo é analisar a relação entre orientação empreendedora, capacidades de inovação e desempenho exportador no contexto dos setores de transportes no Norte de Portugal. Adicionalmente, pretende-se analisar o efeito mediador das capacidades de inovação na relação entre orientação empreendedora e desempenho exportador.
Os resultados confirmam a existência de relações diretas significativas entre (1) orientação empreendedora e capacidades de inovação e (2) capacidades de inovação e desempenho exportador. Por outro lado, apesar da relação direta entre orientação empreendedora e desempenho exportador não ser significativa, (3) confirmou-se ainda a existência de uma relação indireta entre esses constructos mediada pelas capacidades de inovação.
O estudo contribui para a melhor compreensão teórica da importância da orientação empreendedora e das capacidades de inovação para o desempenho das exportações que permitem apoiar os gestores a melhorar tal desempenho das empresas.

In addition, it aims to analyse the mediating effect of innovation capabilities on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and export performance. The results confirm the significant direct relationship between (1) entrepreneurial orientation and innovation capabilities and (2) innovation capabilities and export performance. On the other hand, although the direct relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and export performance was not significant, (3) the existence of an indirect relationship between these constructs mediated by innovation capabilities was also confirmed. The study contributes to a better theoretical understanding of the importance of entrepreneurial orientation and innovation capabilities for export performance, which can help managers improve their companies' performance.
