- Institutional experience, formal institutional quality, and firm performance: An analysis of firms from the European UnionPublication . Oliveira, Alexandre; Carvalho, Fernando; Reis, Nuno RosaFirms’ success depends on their ability to deal with formal institutional quality. Specifically, firms exposed to a diversified set of institutional profiles can achieve institutional competitive advantage that provides firms with diverse knowledge and broader learning opportunities. While prior studies argued that being exposed to a diversified set of institutional profiles negatively influences firms because institutional knowledge can only be replicated in similar institutional profiles, they missed the point of learning from diversity. The purpose of this study is to further understand how firms’ institutional experience moderates the relationship between formal institutional quality and firms’ performance. We argue that firms with higher and more diverse institutional experience will adapt more efficiently to formal institutional quality, thus improving firms’ performance. We test the hypotheses on 4,011 publicly traded firms from the European Union between 2010 and 2021, and our results show that firms that develop higher institutional experience are better able to efficiently adapt to and leverage formal institutional quality and achieve higher firm performance. We contribute to the ongoing discussion on how formal institutions influence firms’ performance by acknowledging the importance of developing a diversified institutional experience.
- 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.
