- Vocational vs general education evidence from Portugal : schooling choice at secondary levelPublication . Iovine, Alessandra; Raposo, Pedro; Reis, Hugo Jorge Correia de Azambuja de FreitasThis study investigates the determinants of schooling choice at the entrance to the secondary level of males and females individuals in Portugal. We aim to identify variables that are significantly affecting the individual’s choice between following vocational or general education in the 10th year of school. Family, individual and school factors such as parental education and occupation, wealth of the family, math grades, time distance of school are considered. Furthermore, we want to address how participation in extra-curriculum activities (i.e. in students’ club, political party, association for the defence of human rights and solidarity institution) affects the choice characterizing the development of non-cognitive skills in students who joined before the entrance in the 10th grade. Using a probit model, the study will be providing empirical evidence on the impact of socioeconomic status of the family, cognitive and non-cognitive abilities of individuals and school quality characteristics on the students’ choice.
- The future of smartwatches : a case on the current status and expected category evolution on the Portuguese marketPublication . Melo, Sara Cristina Nunes de; Crispim, Nuno Pedro MoraisThe introduction of new technologies and development of tools that facilitate everyday consumers’ life is part of the reality we are living. And whereas some innovations might be of slighter importance and distinctiveness, others might imply a significant change in the consumer behaviour, totally redefining the marketplace expectations. On the latter, and considering its high level of uncertainty, consumer acceptance plays a key role that companies must be aware of and consider in their strategy, in order to mitigate any barriers it might bring. The aim of this dissertation is to provide insights on how is the smartwatches category evolving in the Portuguese market and how is it possible to leverage its growth, by assessing in detail the current status of the market globally and locally, as well as retrieving insightful quantitative data on Portuguese consumer preferences towards this category. The methodology used concerns qualitative data retrieved from group interviews to 3 smartwatch owners and 4 non-owners, as well as quantitative data obtained through a survey conveyed to 258 valid respondents. All supported with an extensive literature review on both diffusion of innovation theory, as well as smartwatch definition, update on current status and foreseen evolution. The main findings suggest that, currently, smartwatches are at the chasm stage of the product lifecycle with a need of developing strategies to cross from the early adopter to the mainstream market. These same strategies are proposed in this dissertation, taking as base both literature insights as well as consumer quantitative contribution.

- A responsabilidade do administrador de facto no CIREPublication . Rosário, Tatiana Ferreira Domingues; Pereira, Maria do Rosário L. EpifânioA presente dissertação tem como propósito o estudo da figura do administrador de facto e a efetivação da sua responsabilidade no âmbito do CIRE. Não obstante a figura do administrador de facto não se encontrar definida no CIRE, houve preocupação por parte do legislador em referi-la ao longo do respetivo código, pelo facto de, na grande maioria dos casos, ser quem efetivamente exerce as funções de administração, sem ter sido formalmente designado para o cargo. Este fenómeno da administração fática está intimamente ligado à insolvência da sociedade, quando usado para satisfazer interesses contrários à sociedade administrada, empobrecendo-a e diminuindo as garantias dos credores. Com a Lei 16/2012 apuramos que foram introduzidas alterações ao CIRE capazes de facilitar e efetivar a responsabilidade dos administradores de facto abrangidos pela declaração de insolvência como culposa, tutelando desta forma os interesses dos credores. Houve claramente um retorno ao sistema do CPEREF e é neste sentido que vamos perspetivar a presente dissertação.
