Abstract
Micro and Small Enterprises have assumed an important strategic role for the economic and social development of Brazil, representing about 99% of all business establishments and contributing to the generation of 55.3% of all formal jobs in the country. However, these ventures have faced a series of restrictions on entrepreneurial activity, such as low government support, high taxes, and excessive bureaucracy. In this adverse context, innovation assumes a significant mediation role for increasing business performance and, consequently, maintaining the permanence of these ventures in the market. Accordingly, the present investigation aimed to identify the degree of innovation, the main obstacles and facilitators of innovation, as well as the types of innovation prevalent in Brazilian Micro and Small Enterprises through a systematic literature review. The literature review included 21 articles extracted from the Web of Science, Scopus, Scielo, and Spell databases. In general, the analyzed literature points out that innovation in these ventures is the result of simple actions, such as imitation and the acquisition of technology from third parties, and that the degree of innovation is low, prevailing in the types of innovation in Products and Marketing. The main barriers highlighted were related to the lack of resources, precarious managerial and commercial capacities, and shortages of qualified labor, while the factors that facilitate innovation are related to the support of government programs and the organization of Micro and Small Enterprises in productive arrangements.

Abstract
The European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) represent the main instrument of European Cohesion Policy to sustain territorial development and to eliminate regional disparities between the EU member states. The study of the impacts of ESIF on the economic growth and development of EU members has gained increasing attention in the academic community, and there has been significant scientific production on this topic. This study consists of a bibliometric analysis of articles published in the period from 2011 to 2020 and indexed in two of the main scientific databases: Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus. The results of the bibliometric analysis point to relevant trends on the subject, such as the growing number of publications over the years; the great concentration of studies applied in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, namely Romania; and the current interest of researchers in important topics associated with European funds, such as the competitiveness and innovation of SMEs, climate change, economic impact of global crises, sustainable development, institutional capacity of organisations, and cross-border cooperation.

Abstract
The tradition of wine production and consumption in Portugal is widely spread since the country presents climatic and territorial characteristics which have made wine-making an important strategic sector. In addition, the essence of the wine industry has led to greater tourism, thus enhancing the growth of enotourism. Given the importance of the wine production sector in the national context, as well as the potential of Industry 4.0 to stimulate improvements both in efficiency and competitiveness, the objective of this work is to achieve a better understanding of how Industry 4.0 and its key features, namely simulation, can influence wine production and enotourism.

Abstract
Higher Education Institutions (HEI) play a central role in shaping the future through their ability to transmit, innovate and generate knowledge, near their students and community. They also establish strong relationship within society and the environment. Higher Education plays an important role in laying the foundations for the development of competencies for sustainable entrepreneurship, competencies that go beyond disciplinary knowledge and encompass skills, knowledge, and attitudes focused towards a holistic and sustainability-oriented approach. By preparing their students for the labour market, HEIs are proactively responding to the wide range of challenges that the dynamic and uncertain environment of the 21st-century presents. However, the demand is great and the road to be travelled is long. The literature review is extensive about the expected competencies, all indicating that they are critical success factors for individuals to ensure and sustain their career progression. Today's students are tomorrow leaders, players who can shape the world, make it a better place to live and work. Based on personal characteristics (attitudes and personality) and leadership, this study aims to contribute a better understanding of the relationships between these factors, with a particular focus on entrepreneurship. Using a quantitative approach, a questionnaire was given to undergraduate students of the Polytechnic Institute of Cavado and Ave (IPCA), in Portugal. The data were analysed and discussed according to the possible impact of the entrepreneurial leader's behaviour and the performance of the HEI where he/she is inserted.
