VISION 2025: EDUCATION EXCELLENCE AND MANAGEMENT OF INNOVATIONS THROUGH SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

Abstract
This paper aims at understanding newspapers' content distribution strategies in the digital era, by considering whether digital media is used to segment content according to target audiences and to the particular characteristics of each medium. Case study was the method adopted, and the analysis focused on Jornal de Noticias (JN), which was the first Portuguese non-specialist daily newspaper to go digital and to update its online edition on a daily basis. 20 years later, it is still one of the strongest online players in the industry in Portugal. For the purposes of this study, JN's online content and strategy were analyzed for four weeks between August and September 2016. For data triangulation purposes, an interview was conducted with the person in charge of JN's digital channels. It can be concluded that despite conducting a clear online strategy, this medium still privileges the paper version of the newspaper namely due to the monetization constraints, as admittedly it could not survive exclusively from the online business. The study also demonstrates that an effective digital strategy demands considerable resources and digital skills (e.g., data analysis) that are not easily reconciled with the offline strategy needs. Hence, JN is shown as a hard news newspaper using distinct approaches in the online and offline channel that could be summarized as "hard for paper, soft for social network sites".

EDULEARN19: 11TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EDUCATION AND NEW LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract
Internships have been widely used in higher education in different scientific fields, which presupposes the training of students in a work context. There are some studies on the usefulness of internships undertaken at undergraduate and graduate levels. However, to the best of our knowledge, literature has been disregarding short-cycle higher technical courses (TESP). This paper aims to fill this gap, describing and presenting results of perceptions of students enrolled in the internship subject of one TESP. More specifically, the objectives for this paper are: (i) to identify the obstacles students face; (ii) to explore students' perceptions of internship benefits; and, (iii) to examine the skills students consider to have improved as a result of their internship. A survey comprising both qualitative and quantitative questions was conducted with the students enrolled in the internship subject of the Sales, Management and Marketing TESP course at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, in the second semester of 2018/2019. 25 students accepted to participate in the study (89%). Despite some difficulties pointed out by students in adapting to a work context in the first weeks, the results show that they considered having improved their learning outcomes, and some interpersonal skills, such as autonomy, ability to take initiative, ability to conduct research, collaboration, flexibility, time management, personal organization, task planning, responsibility, and decision making. Additionally, students stressed that the internship facilitates their future employment. Thus, this study provides relevant cues for teachers and course directors in order to minimize weaknesses and maximize strengths of internships, aiming at a better articulation between HEI and companies.

Advances in Business Strategy and Competitive Advantage - Entrepreneurial Orientation and Opportunities for Global Economic Growth

Abstract
The growth of the internet is giving rise to the overall importance of digital marketing for business management. In fact, digital marketing is widely accepted as an essential component of business management, and its share of the marketing budget is getting bigger. Still, digital marketing professionals deal with some resistance, especially from small and medium companies from more traditional sectors and from businesses struggling with limited budgets for marketing and communication. Entrepreneurs and startup managers are expected to have a clear acknowledgement of digital marketing tools' benefits, which is confirmed in this study. However, budget constraints limit their willingness to spend money on digital marketing and to hire specialized personnel. This chapter provides valuable cues for digital marketing practitioners and companies that intend to approach startups.
