- Digital Technologies adopted by universities to support entrepreneurial students spin-offsPublication . Figueiredo, Ronnie; Dias, Álvaro Lopes; Sousa, Maria JoséThis paper presents a theoretical approach based on the systematic literature review (SLR) method. The objective of the study was identifying the digital technologies adopted by universities to support entrepreneurial students’ spin-offs. We identified 98 studies in the first round of Scopus database, in the period from 2004 to 2022, and conclude the analysis with 42 papers, after others rounds. Data collection was performed through the Boolean technique, using the keywords ‘digital innovation’ and ‘university’. The results point to several technologies, in special MOOCs and mobiles application. The study contributes significantly to future research in the field of entrepreneurial universities, which encourage the generation of digital businesses, from the development of spin offs working to the entrepreneurial students.
- Green campus and student proactivity initiatives: the importance of a participatory approachPublication . Frizon, Jucelia Appio; Eugénio, Teresa; Frizon, Nelson NatalinoPurpose – This study aims to examine the mediating role of students’ knowledge of sustainable development (SD) in the relationship between green campus initiatives by higher education institutions (HEIs) and student proactivity. Design/methodology/approach – The research, with a quantitative approach, was carried out with students linked to HEIs belonging to the Sustainable Campus Network – Portugal (RCS-PT). Findings – It was concluded that communications of HEI SD initiatives, green campus operations and approach to SD in the classroom have a positive and significant effect on students’ proactivity toward SD. It was also concluded that SD-oriented student knowledge is a mediator in these relationships. Research limitations/implications – An underlying argument is that students with SD-oriented knowledge engage in proactive behaviors, taking the best HEI initiatives as a precedent among students of the HEIs belonging to the RCS-PT. Practical implications – HEI initiatives can be drivers for proactive student behaviors regarding SD. Thus, this study brings guidance to university leaders and other stakeholders. The findings can also be useful for those involved in planning SD-oriented actions in HEIs. Social implications – Strengthen the role of higher education as co-creators of change by promoting the principles of SD in future professionals. Education is a strong instrument for behavioral change, so HEIs play a fundamental role here having a direct impact on society. Originality/value – This research sought to expand the dialogue about SD in HEIs, especially in achieving sustainable development goals, intertwined with the idea of participation and engagement of students.
- Students CSR Orientation: Building Dialogues between the Academic Community and the Business WorldPublication . Frizon, Jucelia; Eugénio, Teresa; Morais, AnaBackground: This paper aims to verify whether the students’ expectations regarding corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives of companies, affect their CSR orientation, contributing to the dialogue between the academic community and the business world. It includes the opinions of undergraduate students in a business area. Methods: The methods involve a quantitative and descriptive approach, with the data collection being carried out through a survey of 524 responses. Cronbach’s alpha was used to assess the scale’s internal consistency. To test the hypotheses, multiple linear regression was used— ANOVA, Durbin-Watson, coefficient of determination (R2), and regression coefficients (β). Results: The findings show that students have expectations, especially, in the development of the products and services to customers, and environmental aspects, and these impact the CSR orientation. They believe that companies should engage in corporate sustainability initiatives not only for financial profit but also for reasons related to pure and altruistic social responsibility. Conclusions: The research is based on a sample the students from Brazil and Portugal. Students’ current expectations are a good indicator of their future academic performance and professional careers and the stakeholder theory still needs to be better studied in the Higher Education Institutions’ context. The results of this paper reduce a gap in CSR research, as they show how the CSR initiative affect business undergraduate students’ orientation towards CSR. In addition, we shed light on the differences that exist between the Constructs that determine the CSR orientation in two different countries (Portugal and Brazil), a developing and developed country.
- Sustainable Enablers of Knowledge Management Strategies in a Higher Education InstitutionPublication . Santos, Eleonora; Carvalho, Milena; Martins, SusanaBy facilitating the capture, organization, and dissemination of knowledge within and beyond the institution, knowledge management (KM) in higher education institutions (HEIs) fuels innovation, enhances research impact, and strengthens collaboration, ultimately leading to the creation of new knowledge and its valuable exchange. However, there is still much to explore in terms of the enablers of knowledge creation, sharing, and transfer. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the enablers of effective KM in the Polytechnique University of Leiria, which serves as a benchmark for other higher education institutions due to its leadership role in RUN-EU, a consortium of European universities. To achieve this, a narrative analysis based on information from SCOPUS and the institute’s website, focusing on innovation, research, and development strategies, is proposed. The findings suggest that for KM initiatives to be successful, they need to be strategically designed, culturally supported, technologically enabled, and integrated into existing workflows.
