- Mobile Campus adoption in Higher Education : factors that influence the adoption of Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics’ mobile campus among studentsPublication . Paolino, Francesco; Souto, Daniela Langaro da Silva doA transaction from the traditional website platforms to mobile platforms is an opportunity for Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics to create new values for students on their relationship with professors, staff and the various universities´ facilities, through the offering of improved educational services and organizational tools. Through MyCatolica, the mobile learning mobile system (LMS) of the University, new approaches on the learning processes can be implemented, tightening the distance between universities and students. Despite the advantages, students’ adoption still needs to be further developed. The current thesis builds its relevance on this gap, through investigating the factors that may influence the adoption of mobile campus by students. To develop the dissertation, the qualitative research method was undertaken. Ten students were interviewed and results revealed that the website platforms are still perceived essential, and more reliable. Meantime, MyCatolica is not supportive enough and is seen as an informational tool not decisive to the student’s life. Participants have positioned MyCatolica as an application which is not useful and does not allow students to actively interact with the Academic world. Even though, the non-users perceived the benefits of using the LMS, they do not adopt MyCatolica because of its poor relative advantages and low-leveled usefulness. Additionally, students were submitted to an exploration phase where new features were proposed in order to overcome the adoption barriers and to develop a superior MyCatolica. It was found that features as “Chat”, “Cloud” and “Note” could be helpful on overcoming the adoption barriers.

- Merger and acquisitions : the case of ExxonMobil and AnadarkoPublication . Marcelino, Joana Andreia Boavida; Assunção, António Luís Borges deThe rationale under Merger and Acquisitions (M&A) has a huge spectrum, but it is always assumed to be a way of increasing shareholders value. The recent downturn in the oil and gas (O&G) market has been creating some speculations where M&A arises as a way to join companies that together can be more efficient in handling periods of low prices. In fact, this is a great opportunity for those with solid financial positions to invest in undervalued companies, and thus, strengthen their competitiveness in the future. This dissertation focuses in assessing the potential value added from a deal between ExxonMobil and Anadarko. The former with an integrated business model and a strong balance sheet, and the latter, solely dependent on the upstream segment which means being more exposed to fluctuations in oil prices. Thereafter, an in-depth company and industry analysis is conducted in order to establish which assumptions to apply to the valuation methods. The individual and combined analysis is supported by a literature review on valuation and M&A. Based on a theoretical framework, the merged entity valuation is developed, followed by a proposed price, method of payment and acquisition strategy. Anadarko’s standalone valuation suggests that its average share price during 2015 is undervalued with 13% upside potential. Due to synergies of $33,96Bn, the proposed deal has a premium of 49% and the final suggestion being an all-cash offer.

- Trabalho colaborativo entre docentes do 1º ciclo : perceções e práticasPublication . Faria, Vera Margarida Figueiredo Janeiro; Cabral, Maria Ilídia de MeirelesPartindo de uma metodologia de investigação qualitativa, o presente estudo foca o trabalho colaborativo entre docentes do 1º ciclo, numa escola do Porto. Neste estudo, as técnicas utilizadas para recolha de dados foram a observação, o inquérito por questionário e a análise documental, sendo que os dados recolhidos foram triangulados, numa última fase, de forma a obtermos uma visão holística do objeto do estudo. A revisão de literatura efetuada aponta para a importância vital do trabalho colaborativo entre docentes enquanto ferramenta de desenvolvimento profissional e organizacional. No entanto, em termos práticos, parecem existir inúmeras barreiras a este modo de trabalho docente. O estudo realizado mostra que os docentes em questão reconhecem a importância do trabalho colaborativo e disponibilizam-se para o mesmo, mas consideram-no pouco provável, em termos práticos, essencialmente devido à predominância de culturas profissionais eminentemente individualistas.
- Economic variables today, returns tomorrowPublication . Pimentel, Maria Luísa Charters de Sousa; Ehling, PaulCommodity prices are of interest to investors, central banks and policymakers since they are believed to influence general price levels. Therefore, in this thesis I study whether it is possible to forecast commodities returns using economic indicators over different horizons and economic cycles. I establish an out-of-sample (OOS) predictability using different economic variables such as: inflation, unemployment rate, dividend price ratio, industrial production, among others. The time span of the analysis is from 1951 to 2014, over a monthly, quarterly an annual horizon. I observe that inflation is consistently a good predictor for in-sample (IS) and OOS univariate models. Multivariate OOS estimations tend to be more accurate when predicting commodity returns than univariate regressions. Furthermore, the unemployment rate and the commodity currencies are strong statistically significant predictors during economic recessions.
