Título: Waste identification diagrams
Autor: Sá, José Carlos; Carvalho, Dinis; Sousa, Rui M.
Resumo: The most popular and perhaps the most effective way to represent the material flow in production units is the diagram known as Value Stream Map (VSM). Moreover these maps are also used to help in the identification of waste as well as a tool to support continuous improvement. Nevertheless, many of VSM limitations are known and thus there is room for the creation of other more effective ways to represent productive units as well as helping the identification of production waste. This paper presents a new graphic representation model for production units, as a tool to identify three forms of waste, designated as Waste Identification Diagram (WID), which aims to provide information to top managers in a much more effective format. The WID is a network of blocks and arrows, showing visually the throughput times, idle capacity, transport effort, changeover times and work-in-process levels. To illustrate the main features of this new tool, the paper includes a WID of a real production unity.

Título: University-industry relations and entrepreneurship
Autor: Romero, Fernando
Resumo: Formal or informal relations between academia and industry have become more frequent and visible. Asides from a quite conspicuous political motivation that has, in more recent times, consistently pushed towards more close relations between higher education institutions or public research organisations and enterprises, there are a number of several other reasons, most notably those related to knowledge creation and exploitation, that have contributed to draw the attention on collaborative or cooperative agreements between members of academe and industry. This paper attempts to systematize and synthesize the now vast literature on the subject. It focuses on the relationships between forms or modes of academia and industry cooperative channels and their implications on knowledge production and exploitation. It explores their contribution to the concept of entrepreneurship, contextualising the mechanism of creation of spin-off firms from university research, and other subtle or more hidden forms of entrepreneurial behaviour. It presents relevant statistics on the phenomena, describing the main empirical findings and their most important contributions, and highlighting the main arguments that underpin the theoretical debates.

Título: University-industry relations and technological convergence
Autor: Romero, Fernando
Resumo: University-industry relationships and the
associated diversity of multi-institutional networks of researchers are phenomena that have important implications in terms of the management of technological integration. The nature of these peculiar relationships has inherent knowledge
generation characteristics that may be particularly suitable to the task of integrating different approaches and different technologies in novel ways. This paper attempts to systematize
and synthesize recent literature on the subject. It focuses on the relationships between forms or modes of academia and industry cooperative channels and their implications on knowledge
production and exploitation. It explores their contribution in terms of its potential as a tool that can be used in the management of technological convergence. It presents relevant or illustrative examples, describing the main empirical findings
and their important contributions, and it proposes a model that conceptualises the problem.

Título: Technology evaluation and licensing : a literature review and an assessment of the Portuguese universities technology transfer practices
Autor: Rocha, António Miguel Sousa; Romero, Fernando
Resumo: To improve the access to information about practices supporting the application of research results we looked at strategies and methods described on the literature review and in use by technology transfer units (TTUs) having in mind a set of questions underlying the processes of technology evaluation and licensing in universities. The research questions gave us the opportunity to understand the TTUs degree of selectivity in the protection of inventions, the factors at the origin of licensing agreements and its main obstacles, the main evaluation methods and payment modes and they also gave us the opportunity to know the universities at study structure of dividend distribution. Underneath the answer to this questions we affirmed that the development of complete and demonstrable turnkey solutions and products decreases the investment risk and makes the technology more attractive to potential licensees, and we concluded that only knowing the economic value of an invention can we fully exploit its full potential and can we carry out an appropriate technology valorization strategy.

Título: Non-technological innovation : conceptual approaches, impacts and measurement issues
Autor: Pereira, Cristina; Romero, Fernando
Resumo: There have been increasing efforts to investigate innovation impacts at the firm level. This paper aims to contribute to this endeavour focusing on the non-technological side of innovation, which has been increasingly considered an important, if not crucial, determinant of successful innovation performance. The main objective of this paper is to
present a concise literature review on the subject, highlighting three aspects concerning this theme: the main ideas that populate the debate, the perceived impacts and the measurement issues linked to non-technological innovation. Research gaps and opportunities are also explored.
