The strategic management research has recognized the importance of studying the companies’ resources and capabilities and its usefulness to achieve competitive advantage. This perspective is consistent with the Resource-Based View (RBV) and with the Dynamic Capabilities View (DCV). The source of competitive advantage is much more correlated with intangible resources, since these are rarer and socially complex, making their imitation difficult. Consequently, intangible resources are considered strategic resources, since it allows creating perceived value by the customer, outperforming the competition, competing in new markets and being use in a wide range of products and services. On the other hand, the processes for absorbing external knowledge became an essential element for firms to adapt to changes in the competitive environment. Thus knowledge plays an important role in firms’ internationalization process. Building on well-established theories, our research explores the influence of intangible resources and absorptive capacities in export performance of Portuguese small and medium enterprises (SMEs) of footwear associated to the Portuguese Footwear, Components and Leather Goods Association (APICCAPS). Based on survey data from 42 firms, our empirical results indicate that globally intangible resources and absorptive capacity have a positive and significant influence on export performance. On one hand, the intangible resources that most contribute to this end are reputational resources, access to financial resources and relational resources, and on the other hand the absorptive capacities that most contribute to export performance are exploitation of knowledge, transformation of knowledge and general knowledge acquisition.","PeriodicalId":43763,"journal":{"name":"Tourism & Management Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"94-107"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2018-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45380746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore ‘culture’ as a dimension of the country brand, particularly by analysing the case of Brazil in England. Using a focus group and thematic analysis, the study shows that Brazil is perceived as having a ‘diverse and positive culture’. Considering the English participants’ awareness of the country, the most prevalent themes were ‘football’, ‘Carnival,’ ‘Rio’ and ‘music.’ Furthermore, the most indicative of Brazil’s unique cultural associations were ‘flip-flops,’ ‘Amazon,’ ‘carnival parades,’ ‘Brazil nuts’, and ‘Brazilian native indigenous’. While the most positive associations were ‘carnival,’ ‘music,’ ‘indigenous tribes’ and ‘films’; the most negative associations were ‘social inequality,’ ‘poverty,’ ‘corruption,’ ‘political problems’ and ‘crime.’ Nevertheless, Brazil’s brand image is somewhat recognized more favourable than unfavourable by these English participants. This study can enhance country brand campaigns to refine their strategies for attracting business, investment, and tourism.","PeriodicalId":43763,"journal":{"name":"Tourism & Management Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"117-127"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2018-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45368571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2012, for the first time in Portugal, a medium sized city was its host. Guimaraes (in the northwest of Portugal) was the city chosen. Three years after hosting the ECOC, it is time to assess what has changed as a consequence of hosting the event, in terms of visitors’ profile and the perception of the city´s attributes. Primary data sources were used, gathered via conducting surveys on tourists in the ex-ante (2010/11) and post-event periods (2015) to Guimaraes. Analytically, statistical methods were used putting in evidence the similarities and /or differences found regarding the visitors’ profiles and perceptions towards the destination´s attributes, when looking at the two time periods being analyzed. In relation to the results achieved, it was concluded that a change in the visitors’ profile to Guimaraes took place (there was a more balance between men and women; a decrease in the amount of tourists aged from 0 to 25 and an increase in those aged from 46 to 65; as well as an increase in tourists with lower schooling levels), aside from a notorious evolution in what regards the perceived city attributes. One believes that the empirical results attained are a valuable source of information for tour operators and, mainly, for city planning and for the managing authorities.","PeriodicalId":43763,"journal":{"name":"Tourism & Management Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"43-53"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2017-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46843744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
