What Impact Does Innovation and Sustainable Entrepreneurship Have on Competitiveness?
[EN] Sustainable development and entrepreneurship are increasingly high profile issues and matters of
importance to different international agendas. Alongside this interest, there have emerged studies on
entrepreneurship and innovation that point to their driving positive impacts at the level of regional
development. With their research the authors intend to bridge the gap that exists in the literature on
the relationship between innovation and sustainable entrepreneurship, in the sense that innovation
does not have to imply actions that suppose a growth of entrepreneurship without any planning. The
objectives of this research involve contributing towards the literature on this field of study in terms
of knowledge about which environmental and innovation variables best foster the greatest impact of
entrepreneurial activities. To this end, the authors deployed aggregate data at the national level gathered
by the Environment, Population, International Trade, Labour and National Accounts Statistics, from
the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for the years between and
including 2005 and 2012 and for the 35 member states of this organisation. They correspondingly
verify that environmental patents do have a positive impact on Real GDP.Fernandes, C.; Mota Veiga, P.; Peris-Ortiz, M.; Rueda Armengot, C. (2017).

Pharmaceuticals and life sciences: Role of competitive intelligence in innovation
This chapter goal is to analyze the concepts of innovation, knowledge and competitive intelligence (CI). Besides these concepts, the focus will be on the role of innovation profiles defined by Sousa (2009, 2013). The innovation profiles include the creation, capture, organization, and integration of knowledge into the innovation process. The CI variable will be analyzed demonstrating the potential for creating a context of competition for companies. A case study is presented about the pharmaceutical (pharma) industry with the application of the concepts of competitive intelligence, knowledge, and innovation to a real context.
