Rua das Portas de Santo Antão e a singular modernidade lisboeta (1890–1925): arquitectura e práticas urbanas

Via antiga da cidade, fazendo-a comunicar com o seu termo, a Rua das Portas de Santo Antão tornou-se, nos finais do século XIX e primeiras décadas do século XX, um espaço aurático da vida cosmopolita de Lisboa onde se instalaram importantes equipamentos como o Coliseu dos Recreios, o Ateneu Comercial, a Sede da Sociedade de Geografia ou o Teatro Politeama. “Traseiras” da Avenida da Liberdade, sem a modernidade e amplidão do seu desenho urbano, a velha Rua das Portas de Santo Antão foi, na verdade, o palco não exposto da Lisboa moderna.

Differences in ERP use and value across Iberian Manufacturing and Services SMEs

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system literature reports very little research on post-adoption stages, that is, actual usage and value. Even fewer studies focus on the specificities of an industry analysis. Based on the Technology-Organizational-Environment (TOE) framework and the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory, we develop a research model to measure and examine determinants of ERP use and value and their impact in the Iberian region (Portugal and Spain) across Manufacturing and Services industries in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The empirical test was conducted through structural equation modelling, using data from 261 firms in the peninsula in the Manufacturing and Service industries. Results show that amongst ERP use determinants, Training is the most important determinant for Service firms and Compatibility for Manufacturing firms. Firm size, Analytics, and Collaboration contribute to ERP Value in both industries, with Analytics being more important for the Service industry. The paper provides insight into which determinants contribute to ERP use and ERP value in Iberian Manufacturing and Services SMEs, offering managerial and academic implications.
