CLEANER ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS
Abstract
As being environmentally responsible is a potential source of competitive advantage, incorporating genuine environmental practices across the supply chain may help firms capitalize on the growing demand for corporate accountability and consumer awareness. Therefore, it is important to understand to what extent firms are using greenwashing to mislead their stakeholders in the supply chain. The purpose of this paper is to review the existing literature regarding greenwashing in supply chain management (SCM) to shed light on the main thematic groups addressed in the literature, understand its challenges and develop a framework that highlights the key drivers that companies need to tackle to prevent greenwashing in supply chains. For this purpose, we have conducted a systematic literature review, following a three-stage method. It was possible to identify possible solutions to prevent greenwashing across four main dimensions of SCM: consumers/customers; relationships between focal firms and suppliers; certification programs and reporting assessment; and corporate leadership. We provide a framework to help firms develop their sustainable strategy and prevent greenwashing along the supply chain. This paper synthesizes the challenges that firms face when implementing a sustainable supply chain, suggests solutions to prevent greenwashing and provides future research avenues.

Abstract
Os autores apresentam a Aprendizagem Baseada em Soluções Efetivas
que deriva da Aprendizagem Baseada em Projeto, mas aplicada a problemas reais
com objetivo de contruir soluções efetivas. A enfase é colocada na efetividade
no pressuposto que incentiva a um maior envolvimento e comprometimento
por parte dos alunos, assegurando um contexto que se pretende mais aliciante e
próximo do que será a realidade profissional dos alunos. A efetividade é aferida
pelas funcionalidades consideradas essenciais à plena utilização e resolução do
problema, mas também pela viabilidade da aplicação ser efetivamente utilizada,
sem que seja necessário a continuidade do envolvimento dos alunos. As evidências
empíricas apontam um claro aumento da aquisição de competências, do número
de aprovados e das classificações. Permitiu também definir um posicionamento
estratégico de cooperação com a comunidade envolvente, em que todas as partes
beneficiam (formandos, docentes, instituição de ensino, entidades locais e regionais
e empregadores).

Abstract
Besides the extraordinary impact of Business Angels (BAs) as the leading contributors to fund entrepreneurship at the early stage, the value BAs perceive from their investment activity has not yet been fully explored. Based on a new holistic perspective resulting from marketing and consumer behaviour, this article builds on the concept of perceived investment value to create a new instrument that measures the overall value perceived by BAs in their investing activity. Data were collected through a survey questionnaire with 849 BAs from 79 countries. The instrument created was tested through Structural Equation Modelling. The results reveal that: (i) BAs are not purely financial investors and expect more than just money from their activity, as self-esteem, entrepreneurship, emotion and altruism are the main dimensions that explain angel perceived investment value (APIV), with economic and functional dimensions being the least influential; (ii) APIV positively influences their job satisfaction; and (iii) angels satisfied with their jobs are more likely to reinvest their money and engage in positive word-of-mouth. A multigroup comparison was implemented, validating the results for males and females, novices and veterans and light and heavy investors.
