Abstract
Organizations assume a key role in the goal of achieving sustainable development and are influential elements on the path to sustainability. Allied with competitiveness, today, there is also a strategy based on sustainability, anchored in the concept of responsibility, minimizing the potential negative effects of our actions through innovative products, services, processes, and models. Measuring and monitoring these efforts is currently a challenge for organizations. This study adopts a mixed methods approach to address this challenge and identifies 13 tools and 16 dimensions that are central elements in the process of measuring and monitoring sustainable innovation. The findings indicate that the dimensions related to social and governance components are the most relevant in sustainable innovation, while inclusion and entrepreneurship are dimensions that are not highly valued by these tools. © 2024 The Authors

Abstract
The congress which ISPGAYA organized in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, on 26 and 27 October 2023 is based on the theme of sustainability, meeting the current academic, social, and political agenda. The congress is based on the theme of digital sustainability, meeting the current academic, social, and political agenda. This event brings together the different scientific areas of ISPGAYA and seeks to highlight the set of interdisciplinary and multilevel efforts to change the existing reality, supported by the affinity of ideas and attitudes, knowledge, and practices. Contributions from different institutions, national and international, that make up the technological and scientific system, asserting the concertation of strategies at local, regional, and global levels, and the interconnection between synergistic contributions of the living forces to mobilize toward to consolidate planetary sustainability over the next few decades. The scope of this book comprehends manuscripts submitted under the various thematic: Industrial Automation; Energy Efficiency; Information Technology & Cybersecurity; Management & Administration; Marketing; Tourism & Leisure; Education. All these scientific areas are connected by the main issue “sustainability.” Researchers, professionals, and students from different areas participate in this sharing of knowledge, suggesting a reticular logic and partnerships in the approach to sustainability. The publication of this book of proceedings intends to increase and dynamize investigation linking theory and practice, always pointing to innovative approaches, and mainly, involve as many people and institutions as possible in the direction of a “smart” national and global development model, meeting the intentions of the 2030 agenda outlined by the United Nations. We lift the veil on responsible innovation including technology innovation and entrepreneurship toward innovation for sustainable development and make positive impact in the ongoing paradigm shift from a same development model to building a safe operating space for a SMART Earth3 model, comprising Local Sustainable Development Goals. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.

Abstract
Small enterprises (SEs) represent the majority of the businesses worldwide, playing a leading role in job creation and economic development. The success of these firms substantially depends on the financial knowledge of their owners/managers. Previous literature in the field of household finances has indicated that financial literacy declines as individual ages. However, the scarce literature on entrepreneurs' financial literacy has not addressed this issue. Using a sample of 896 SE owners/managers, drawn from the survey of small enterprises' financial literacy in Spain, the authors observe a decline in objective financial knowledge with age through multivariate analyses using probit and ordered probit models. The lack of financial knowledge may put at risk the economic feasibility of an SE. Therefore, it is essential to design financial education mechanisms that are sensitive to the needs of SE owners/managers at different stages of their working lives. © 2024 by IGI Global.

Abstract
Serious games can play a crucial role in developing competencies for the job market, offering an innovative and engaging approach to learning. This study uses FLIGBY to develop employability skills among computer engineering graduates. FLIGBY is a serious game that simulates a virtual company environment where players make strategic decisions, emphasizing the principles of flow and positive psychology. Immersion in realistic scenarios provides practical experience, contributing to the development of market-ready skills. A quantitative methodology based on descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing was adopted to measure the development of competencies for the job market using the Systems Engineering Competency Framework. The results show that competence development occurs mainly in the professional and managerial dimensions. In contrast, there is no development of core and technical competencies. Furthermore, the perception of the development of these competencies occurs mainly for students with more years of professional experience. The experiential nature of FLIGBY allows users to develop practical knowledge, promoting adaptability and resilience. This gamified approach accelerates the learning curve, preparing individuals for real-world challenges in the computer engineering workplace.

Abstract
PurposeSecurity in large-scale agile is a crucial aspect that should be carefully addressed to ensure the protection of sensitive data, systems and user privacy. This study aims to identify and characterize the security practices that can be applied in managing large-scale agile projects.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative study is carried out through 18 interviews with 6 software development companies based in Portugal. Professionals who play the roles of Product Owner, Scrum Master and Scrum Member were interviewed. A thematic analysis was applied to identify deductive and inductive security practices.FindingsThe findings identified a total of 15 security practices, of which 8 are deductive themes and 7 are inductive. Most common security practices in large-scale agile include penetration testing, sensitive data management, automated testing, threat modeling and the implementation of a DevSecOps approach.Originality/valueThe results of this study extend the knowledge about large-scale security practices and offer relevant practical contributions for organizations that are migrating to large-scale agile environments. By incorporating security practices at every stage of the agile development lifecycle and fostering a security-conscious culture, organizations can effectively address security challenges in large-scale agile environments.

Abstract
Agile methodologies, initially designed for the project level, face challenges when applied at enterprise levels where complex projects and diverse stakeholders are involved. To meet this challenge, several large-scale agile methodologies have been proposed. However, these approaches are not flexible enough or tailored to the needs of organizations, projects, and their teams. It is in this context that hybrid methodologies have emerged. This study aims to conduct a systematic literature review to trace the evolution of hybrid scaling of agile and characterize different approaches to implement it. This study starts by assessing 1509 studies through the use of the PRISMA 2020 framework and identifies 38 relevant studies in this field. The findings indicate that the majority of studies are from 2021 onwards and that qualitative methodologies supported by case studies predominate, making it possible to characterize tailoring processes in these organizations. Moreover, the implementation of hybrid scaling of agile is supported by the paradigm of ambidextrous strategy, a combination of agile with traditional project management methodologies, and continuous improvements. This study contributes insights into navigating the complexities of agile scaling, offering practical guidance for organizations seeking to optimize their project management practices.
