Integrating social impact
Purpose This study aims to propose a theoretical model with dimensions, categories, indicators and descriptors to evaluate the social relevance of graduate studies. It addresses specific problems in current graduate programs, such as the lack of comprehensive integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the limited emphasis on social impact. Design/methodology/approach The research begins with a systematic literature review to esta…
The pivotal role of higher education institutions in cultivating a sustainable development goals-centric culture
Purpose This study aims to investigate the contribution of higher education institutions (HEIs) to the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and propose strategies to cultivate a culture centred on the SDGs in HEIs. Design/methodology/approach The methodology used encompassed an integrative literature review, combining bibliographic analysis on how HEIs incorporate the SDGs into their practices, adopting a qualitative approach for the analysis and…
Trends in research
Purpose Reducing our carbon footprint (CF) or decarbonizing is a sustainable development goal. Although there has been an increase in research on this topic, little is known about the status of CF research within universities. The purpose of this paper is to identify the initiatives implemented in universities aimed at reducing CF in their efforts toward creating a Green Campus. Design/methodology/approach Using a bibliometric method, the status …
Proposed mapping and evaluation model of sustainable development goals in graduate programs in environmental sciences in Brazil
Purpose This paper aim to propose a methodological mapping approach for the evaluation of dissertations and theses of graduate programs in the area of environmental sciences in Brazil in relation to the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs). Design/methodology/approach The research is characterized as exploratory with qualitative/quantitative approach. The proposed model was developed as a computational algorithm with a pilot being adopted as a…
Green absorptive capacity, green dynamic capabilities and green service innovation
Purpose This study aims to discuss the influences of green innovation processes on sustainable development and proposes a research model linking green absorptive capacity, green dynamic capabilities and green service innovation with the aim of clarifying how these interactions operate within universities. Design/methodology/approach Supported by a survey of sustainability researchers in Brazilian universities, a mediation‐moderation analysis and …
The Large-Scale Implementation of a Health Information System in Brazilian University Hospitals
Governments around the globe are paving the way for healthcare services that can have a profound impact on the overall well-being and development of their nations. However, government programs to implement health information technologies on a large-scale are challenging, especially in developing countries. In this article, the process and outcomes of the large-scale implementation of a hospital information system for the management of Brazilian u…
