Abstract
Em cada pessoa existe um potencial empreendedor sendo a educação para o empreendedorismo o meio mais eficaz para o dinamizar e promover (Dolabela, 2008). Contudo, como abordar um tema tão complexo com crianças? Objetivo: Identificar a existência ou não de características empreendedoras em contexto de narração de história em crianças. Participantes: Uma turma do 1º ano com 18 alunos e uma de 3º ano com 19 alunos entre os 6 e os 9 anos (7,2±1,1) de uma escola de Braga. Instrumentos/Procedimentos: Construíram-se categorias e subcategorias suportadas pela revisão da literatura que determinaram as características empreendedoras a avaliar. Elaborou-se uma história construída de raiz, tendo por base o tema piratas e a procura de tesouros. Trata-se de uma história dinâmica, em que, cada uma das suas etapas termina com um desafio ou questão para os alunos. Assim, estes podem assumir-se como personagens, dar sugestões argumentadas sobre o caminho a seguir na história e ainda fazer opções entre várias possíveis. A história foi aplicada, em cada um dos anos de escolaridade, em grupos focais, de seis crianças. Discussão dos resultados: A observação das diferentes subcategorias permitiram-nos verificar comportamentos positivos (CP), inversos (CI) e não observados (CNO). Constatamos que em cinco das oito categorias a maioria dos alunos as revelou de forma positiva com destaque para a “Autoconfiança” e “Relações interpessoais” e ainda que aquelas em que se verificou maior percentagem de alunos que manifestaram CI foram a “Autoconfiança”, “Relações interpessoais” destacando-se a “Persistência/Resistência ao Fracasso. As categorias em que mais se verificaram CNO foram a “Liderança / Tomada de decisão” e “Organização e Planeamento”. São necessárias mais investigações de forma a reunir um número considerável de contribuições para a validação de um instrumento que se adapte à linguagem da criança e que, de uma forma lúdica e motivadora, permita identificar características empreendedoras.

Abstract
This study translates how the potential exists for ICT and Web 2.0 to promote and improve the quality and efficiency of the supply of health services. The segmented and personalized access to individual clinical records is considered in the context of basic support information which simultaneously facilitates an initial screening by a health professional, to all those who fit in a universe of clients and patients of Private Healthcare Organizations - PHO. The context is of excellent customized health care which builds trusting relationships with the target market. The project does however recognize barriers to this change namely by making the health system more transparent clinicians who hitherto have gone mainly unquestioned and unnoticed will subsequently possibly be subject to more scrutiny and possible judicial action in case of mal practice. Nonetheless, with this work we aim to present an initial position relative to the need for the existence of information systems which support the process of creation of customer loyalty in private organizations delivering health care services.

Abstract
Higher education institutions are at this stage, on the one hand, faced with challenges never seen before and, on the other hand, their action is moving very rapidly into digital learning spaces. These challenges are increasingly complex because of the global competition for resources, students and teachers. In addition, the amount of data produced inside and outside higher education institutions has grown exponentially, so more and more institutions are exploring the potential of Big Data to meet these challenges. In this context, higher education institutions and key stakeholders (students, teachers, and governance) can derive multiple benefits from learning analytics using different data analysis strategies to produce summative, real-time and predictive information and recommendations. However, it may be questioned whether institutions, academic administrative staff as well as including those with responsibility for governance, are prepared for learning analytics? As a response to the question raised in this paper is presented an extension of a disruptive conceptual approach to higher education, using information gathered by IoT and based on Big Data & Cloud Computing and Learning Analytics analysis tools, with the main focus on the stakeholder governance. © 2017 Association for Computing Machinery.

Abstract
Information technology has become one of the core elements of electronic government (e-Government) and should figure prominently in future governance. E-Government services, through electronic means, should provide a more cost-effective and convenient way for citizens to interact with government, however their adoption is still far from a satisfactory level. The study herein has examined research on the adoption of e-Government services. Using data obtained from previous research, this article identifies the variables that contribute to the adoption of e-Government by citizens and the model created is presented. Overall, this study concludes that e-Government has been adopted by many governments, but it is still at an early stage, and there are still barriers to its more widespread adoption in society.

Restless Millennials in Higher Education - A New Perspective on Knowledge Management and Its Dissemination Using IT in Academia

RECENT ADVANCES IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGIES, VOL 2

Abstract
Seventy millennial students answered a survey on attitudes towards leadership and their desired approach to higher education. What is their perspective on knowledge management and dissemination in academia? Some romanticizing may be beneficial, but the great majority of students want to be enlightened and well-prepared for that which they will encounter in business markets. Three interviews with seasoned executives were also performed, to establish a contrast and see other perspectives. We conclude that to become a great corporate leader may in fact be dependent on your DNA and personality make-up, but this is not what is thought to be true, by the majority of the respondents in the survey. Motivation took the most votes as being fundamental for success, a positive sign and indicative of a hard working millennial generation, contrary to previous research findings. IT is also a precious partner in class, in particular Padlet.com, Moodle, the online News Forum, as well as the challenge to create original videos about course content.

Abstract
This article is a case study, based on Participant Observation, which focuses on a digital platform which manages assets. This platform is for sale in different countries, including Portugal and Mozambique. As national cultures and institutions differ from country to country and as this is all the more the case when different continents are at stake, we herein discuss the adaptation of products and services to the cultures and institutions of each environment, for the optimization of sales and product positioning. The data of the case study comes mainly from the experience of one of the authors, who lived in Mozambique for close to two years, linked to the selling there of the digital platform. A review of the existing literature was also performed. The strategic notion of positioning is central to the success of organizations and should differ from context to context, where necessary. Namely, different economic and education conditions lead to distinct behaviours, which have a repercussion on the posture to be adopted for the selling of products.
