The Center for Advanced Studies in Management and Economics (CEFAGE) was created in 2006, with the aim of promoting high quality research in the areas of Management and Economics. Since 2009 CEFAGE is funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) (previous project reference: UID/ECO/04007/2013; current project reference UIDB/04007/2020). 

The aim of the group is, while using an interdisciplinary approach, to:
a) identify legal reasoning and argumentation techniques that could be adapted to enrich business intelligence (BI) research and
b) identify and adapt statistical methods used by BI researchers that could bring a valuable input for legal reasoning and interpretation.

This research group focuses on the Information and Communication technology and its role in changing and managing for-profit, public and nonprofit organizations. We are focused on quantitative research methods, especially PLS-SEM-based research.
