- Leadership and organizational innovation in the third sector: A systematic literature reviewPublication . Adro, Francisco José Nave do; Leitão, JoãoThe impact of the global recession has served to increase pressure on non-profit organizations resources. Executive leadership is an essential component of the success of these institutions. The two-fold purpose of this article is to provide a state-of-the-art overview about the existing literature on leadership and organizational innovation in the third sector, as well as to identify research gaps leading to a research model, which can be used in further empirical research. For this, we used the collection of existing literature in the Web of Science. The 144 articles selected in the database were analysed using the VOSviewer software. Results show a concern with the renewal of management bodies and a lack of qualified leaders. This study contributes to the construction of an action agenda leading to the establishment of new leadership and organizational innovation model for the third sector.
- Rural and agri-entrepreneurial networks: A qualitative case studyPublication . Adro, Francisco José Nave do; Franco, MárioThe Queijo Serra da Estrela, DOP is the oldest Portuguese cheese recognized internationally. The objective of this paper is to analyse a rural, agri-entrepreneurial network created by a young, female, craft cheese producer located in an area of low population density in the inland central region of Portugal. For data collection, several qualitative semi-structured phone and face-to-face interviews were held with the partners of the network. This paper contributes by helping to understand how a rural agricultural network in the specific sector of a Protected Denomination of Origin (PDO) product works and what its motives, success factors and benefits are. The results indicate that trust, confidence and regular payments are essential to make this network viable and create added value for business in a traditional sector threatened by climate changes, the age of shepherds and importation of exotic breeds of sheep. Some theoretical and practice contributions will be also presented.
- Social entrepreneurship and social innovation: looking inside the box and moving out of itPublication . Adro, Francisco José Nave do; Fernandes, CristinaThe impact of the global recession has served to increase the pressure on the management of nonprofit organizations (NPO). Executive leadership is an essential component of the success of these institutions. The aim of this paper is to survey the existing literature on social entrepreneurship and social innovation in the third sector (TS). For this, we used the collection of existing literature on the Web of Science (WoS). The 176 articles selected in this database were analyzed analytically and also using the VOSviewer software. The results show the existence of three approaches that highlight a relationship between entrepreneurial behavior and NPO performance, the creation of social value and the entrepreneurial orientation of NPO that triggered the emergence of hybrid organizations: social enterprises. This study aims to contribute to the construction of a holistic model for the sector.
- Social entrepreneurship orientation and performance in non-profit organizationsPublication . Adro, Francisco José Nave do; Fernandes, Cristina I.; Veiga, Pedro; Kraus, SaschaWith the downturn in the global socioeconomic panorama, the social entrepreneurship orientation (SEO) and the social performance of non-proft organizations (NPOs) have become subject to growing levels of attention. The objective of this study is to analyze the infuence of SEO on the performance of NPOs. To this end, we deployed a quantitative methodology based on the application of a survey of NPOs, which received a total of 135 valid responses. Our results demonstrate a positive efect for the dimensions of social innovation and social proactivity even while reporting no efect for the acceptance of social risks on performance. These results hold important implications across two diferent levels: in terms of the NPOs and policy-makers.
- Social innovation: a systematic literature review and future agenda researchPublication . Adro, Francisco José Nave do; Fernandes, Cristina I.The concept of Social Innovation (SI) emerged 70 years after the work of pioneering researchers such as Schumpeter. Starting from the linear model of innovation, a systemic and expanded concept of innovation was reached, in which several social agents can be innovative and not only companies. This research proposes to review and synthesize the evolution of innovation until reaching the focus on the analysis in the SI (origins, definition, agents, differences with other forms of creativity, contemporaneity of the concept, evolutionary perspective and political rhetoric). Through the methodology of the systematic review of the literature, an analysis by citations, content analysis and research by the references of the found articles was carried out. The results show a recent and somewhat marginal interest in the notion of SI, but with a contemporary intensification of studies, largely motivated by global socioeconomic and environmental changes. We intend to contribute to the systematization of the scientific knowledge of this field of study.
- The impact of innovation management on the performance of NPOs: Applying the Tidd and Bessant model (2009)Publication . Adro, Francisco José Nave do; Fernandes, Cristina; Veiga, PedroThe literature is consistent in stating that innovation helps in improving the performance of nonprofit organizations (NPOs), highlighting how there remains the scope for further research designed to better understand the dimension supporting social innovation. Through the application of the Tidd and Bessant model, which reflects an important contribution to this specific sector, this study seeks to meet a shortcoming in analyzing just which innovation management factors influence the performance of NPOs. To this end, we applied a quantitative methodology based on a survey made of Portuguese NPOs that received a total of 135 valid responses. Based upon the application of multiple linear regression models, this study concludes that there are five innovation management models with a positive impact on NPO performance levels. In terms of the implications, these results, consistent with earlier research of a different nature, strengthen the idea that private business sector methods may undergo successful adaptation to the social sector and assist such entities to implement measures that offset their organizational, and consequent financial, weaknesses.
- The role of market orientation in the performance of NPOsPublication . Adro, Francisco José Nave do; Fernandes, Cristina; Veiga, PedroWith the downturn in the global socioeconomic panorama, the market orientation (MO) and the performance of non-profit organisations (NPOs) have come in for growing levels of attention. However, authors remain unanimous in emphasising the scope there remains for further research designed to better understand the role of MO on the performances achieved by NPOs. The objective of this research is thus to analyse the influence of MO on the performance standards of NPOs. To this end, we deployed a quantitative methodology based on the application of a survey of NPOs that received a total of 135 valid responses. The results demonstrate a statistically significant positive effect on the dimensions of orientation towards users, towards the competition, the incentive system even while the effect of interfunctional coordination lacks in significance. Despite the data collection having taken place at a particular moment in time, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly hindered this process and correspondingly preventing this study from attaining still greater representativeness, our results serve to strengthen the theory and practice on market orientation in NPOs. The research results also generate important implications across two levels: at the NPO level and for their decision-makers; it also deepens knowledge on this theme and helps to complete a gap found in the existing literature. In terms of practice, this contributes to NPO managers and policy makers to grasp how MO is not a phenomenon exclusive to the private sector but also extends across the non-profit sector.
