Abstract
Many domestic enterprises in emerging economies are concerned with the question of how to better utilize the portfolio of technology sourcing channels to achieve rapid economic growth by technological innovation. This paper looks at this issue by exploring the impacts of knowledge acquisition diversity (KAD) on innovation performance of domestic enterprises in China and the technological contexts (in terms of technology gap and technology development speed) under which KAD is most likely to contribute. Using panel data of the manufacturing industry in China over the 2001-2009 period, the results show that KAD has an inverse U-shaped relationship with innovation performance in terms of both product-related innovation performance (NPS) and knowledge-related innovation performance (PAT). Specifically, it reveals that the capability to generate technological innovation over time is dependent on how domestic enterprises manage their portfolio of knowledge sourcing channels to learn from foreign enterprises. Moreover, it is shown that the technology gap significantly moderates the inverted U-shaped relationship between KAD and both NPS and PAT. Technology development speed has a moderating effect on the inverted U-shaped relationship between KAD and innovation only in terms of NPS. The results of this study can help us to understand the relationships among technological contexts, KAD and innovation performance of domestic enterprises in emerging countries.

Abstract
Innovation stills on the world's agenda as the holy grail of business success. Nevertheless, it stills hard for some communities to understand and embrace innovation processes in a systematic way as a continuum for regional development. Our stance is that innovation seeds, feeds innovation. That means, innovation won't work in a closed cycle, but rather in an open and cross-entity manner, forming a knowledge-managed regional development ecosystem. Accordingly, this paper describes a knowledge lab, designed as an intel structure to offer knowledge-intensive services towards the regional development of the "Tamega e Sousa" (NUTIII) Region. This knowledge lab aims at complementing the installed dynamics on innovation support and economic stimulus in a knowledge-based innovation management approach.

Abstract
É sabido que a digitalização será o grande desígnio das empresas e a condição essencial para a sua competitividade nos próximos anos. Sabe-se também que, embora a atual pandemia COVID-19 tenha acelerado a necessidade de digitalização em diferentes áreas do negócio, sendo o seu maior impacto notado ao nível das plataformas de e-commerce, a falta de uma visão digital, para as diferentes áreas, poderá deixar as empresas sem competências para atuar de forma competitiva num mercado já global. Assim, neste artigo, adotando uma metodologia Design Science, é proposta uma solução para a obtenção de uma radiografia do nível de Maturidade Digital da indústria transformadora na região do Tâmega e Sousa - Digital Industry Survey. Procura-se desta forma criar conhecimento sobre a realidade desta indústria, que permita apoiar as empresas nos desafios colocados pelo paradigma da Indústria 4.0.

PROCEEDINGS OF 2021 16TH IBERIAN CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES (CISTI'2021)

Abstract
We are living in a digital age, which is characterized by an accelerated technological transformation. In this context, digital inequalities, which are often caused by the population's lack of technological knowledge, are increasingly accentuated and consequently, there is a growing need for training and digital inclusion of the population. This paper presents the initiative Capacid@de Digital: Tamega e Sousa Volunteer Network for Digital Training, proposed by School of Management and Technology of the Polytechnic of Porto. This initiative aims to digitally train the active and non-active population of Tamega and Sousa region, providing them digital skills that allow the execution of digital tasks necessary for the daily life of any citizen. In addition, the methodology used as basis for structuring this project is described.

Abstract
Industry 4.0 is a trendy concept that everyone is talking about. However there are several concepts and technologies attached to Industry 4.0. The concept is considered as the most recent industrial revolution and takes us to the domains of automation, digitalization and information, among others. The concept is trendy, but sometimes firms and employees are not able to follow new trends. This paper summarizes a research on the concepts of industry 4.0 and the 9 technologies commonly associated to Industry 4.0 umbrella. Most of the literature recognizes it as something that can bring several benefits to firms. However, it is also pointed out, that the adoption of these technologies relies in several factors. In this paper the focus is the human factors. A group of 260 persons participated in a questionnaire where were asked about their perceptions on industry 4.0 and its technologies. The main objective was to find different responses to Industry 4.0 technologies, according to age, education level, gender or field of studies. In general, all the individuals present a similar approach. Main differences were found on Big Data, Augmented Reality and Simulation technologies. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

12TH INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT 2022

Abstract
The present paper aims to identify the main trends and gaps in the digitalization of manufacturing SMEs. The most significant literature on this emergent theme was gathered through a criterion search, resulting in discovering 4060 related documents. To narrow this considerable number of documents, a bibliometric analysis was performed. A database was exported from Clarivates' Web of Science for clusters analysis in VOSviewer's software. Afterward, it was possible to identify the top authors and documents. Four trends were identified: one Asian, headed by China; another Anglo-Saxon, led by the USA; and two European trends, run by Italy and Germany. Furthermore, were identified two research gaps: (1) The development of pro-environmental technology and (2) digital readiness models for manufacturing SMEs.
