- Ambidextrous capacity in small and medium-sized enterprises.Publication . Felício, J. Augusto; Caldeirinha, Vítor; Dutra, AdemarThis study examines the ambidextrous capacity—the ability to respond simultaneously to both disruptive and incremental innovation processes—of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Portugal. The purpose is to understand the organizational ambidexterity of SMEs and its relationship to organizational performance and innovation capacity. The objectives are to evaluate the characteristics that identify ambidextrous organizations and analyze the effect of organizational ambidexterity on performance, supported by the contingency-based approach, organizational theory, behavioral theory of the firm, and organizational learning theory. After factor analysis is performed, a structural equations model is used to analyze a sample of 202 valid responses. The analysis shows that, for SMEs, disruptive innovation factors relate mainly to innovation capacity and incremental innovation factors relate to organizational performance. The confirmation of organizational ambidexterity in SMEs and the increased recognition of the importance of disruptive innovation are relevant contributions to the literature.
- Cruise destination characteristics and performance Application of a conceptual model to North Atlantic islands of MacaronesiaPublication . Luz, Luís Machado; Antunes, António Pais; Caldeirinha, Vítor; Caballé-Valls, Jordi; Garcia-Alonso, LorenaThe purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual model for both port and cruise destinations composed by site and situation-related factors as the main drivers with a direct influence on the performance of the cruise destination. A moderator variable was also included on the model, due to the different characteristics that cruise ports at distinct levels of development present. The conceptual model was then applied on the North Atlantic archipelagos of the Macaronesia region through a survey aimed at cruise specialists and stakeholders. The results of a structural equation model confirmed the concept model, which was subsequently validated through several interviews to senior officials of cruise line operators. Significant differences were observed between the more developed ports of the region and the less developed ports . For the more developed ports, there is a shared influence of both site- and situation-related factors, while in the less developed ports the main drivers are mostly restricted to site-related factors.
- Port Community Systems: Accelerating the Transition of Seaports toward the Physical Internet - The Portuguese CasePublication . Caldeirinha, Vítor; Nabais, João Lemos; Pinto, CláudioSupply chains are complex systems that have grown in dimension and spread worldwide. In supply chains, physical and information flows have strict service quality requirements, namely transparency conditions and traceability. Seaports, connecting land and maritime transport, are special components of supply chains where multiple players interact with different perspectives, and conflicting goals may arise. Port community authorities invest in electronic platforms to foster communication and integration with the companies that interact with the seaport, guiding the digitization of the seaport business. In main European and world ports, the Port Community System (PCS) is the platform that supports the creation of a network composed of shipping agents, shippers, freight forwarders, transporters, terminals, logistics platforms, and public entities. PCS focuses on service level, partner networks, maritime services, freight services, logistical services, and advanced port services. These features have an impact on seaport operations, which affects supply chain performance. Digitization within the scope of the PCSs has fostered the development of horizontal collaboration between seaport community partners. The Physical Internet (PI) is an innovative concept that seeks new logistics solutions requiring integration and interoperability between partners in the supply chain, including maritime and land transport. This paper focuses on (i) the evolution guidelines of PCSs and (ii) on the PCS Business Factors that can drive the supply chain into a significant improvement in performance. A survey was sent to a sample of Portuguese supply chain experts regarding the causal relationship between PCS Business Factors and supply chain performance in the next 10 to 20 years. From the data collected, recent services evolving at PCS are promoting a mindset change aligned to the implementation of a Physical Internet. Establishing a Physical Internal in Portuguese seaports could take decades, but it will support the transition to a new phase of PCS, accelerating the transition from Isolated Supply Chains (I-SCs) to Open Supply Chains (O-SCs), thus improving supply chain performance.
- O Uso da Tecnologia da Informação na Inovação dos Sistemas Logísticos PortuáriosPublication . Caldeirinha, Vítor; Nabais, João LemosAs características dos Port Community Systems (PCS) afetam como a colaboração entre os players pode ser estabelecida na comunidade portuária. A digitalização feita em terminais no âmbito dos PCS tem fomentado o desenvolvimento da colaboração horizontal na comunidade portuária. O acesso a dados e informações relevantes cria oportunidades para novos modelos de negócios para a comunidade portuária. Através da análise realizada neste estudo, concluímos que a implementação de uma Internet Física pode levar décadas, mas a mudança nos serviços prestados pelo PCS está configurando uma mudança de mentalidade de Cadeias de Abastecimento Isoladas para Cadeias de Abastecimento Abertas, promovendo a Internet Física.
