Abstract
Technology and its widespread usage has dictated a far-reaching revolution in many domains, including in the teaching of music, as described in this study. Using technology (costing €150,000 for the cameras – MoCap – Qualisys AB, Sweden; and €150,000 for the system for analysis – Visual 3D software – C-Motion, USA) it was possible to predict that the duration of the career of a violinist supported by such tools – correcting one’s technique – may be prolonged significantly – as much as fifteen years or more. This approach may even mean the difference between being able to continue with one’s chosen profession or having to end it prematurely. Such technology may be applied to even the youngest of performers – aged 6 or 7 years old – a number of whose careers we suggest be followed to provide further support for our study. The correct placing of the left hand will help avoid injury and support a quicker evolution. Less time will be wasted, for better results. The musician will be more efficient, more flexible, and will have a more natural position and less musculoskeletal problems. The technology used compared the data and it was verified that for each chord there was an ideal height – corresponding to a more relaxed and natural position of the left hand when playing. One may represent the study’s findings as a model, as follows: OPIH (optimal performance and ideal height of the left hand) = function of {dimension of the instrument, length of the strings, dimension of the hand, dimension of the fingers}. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.

Abstract
This study focuses on the impact of technology and on the planning of a trip by a Portuguese tourist. From the literature review, studies done at the European level, the technology inherent to tourism is provided to the entire age range, and fundamentally to the planning of accommodation, transport and tourist packs. The absorption of information is always highlighted by the easy and fast access to the Internet increasingly accessible to anyone, promoting behavioral changes in tourism planning. Thus, an online survey (with 180 valid answers) was carried out, which focused mainly on university students, and was restricted to Portuguese citizens. The survey determined that online platforms are most used for accommodation (87.2%), transportation (87,2%) and the demand for information (68.8%) to the detriment of catering (7.3%), and these are mainly being used because of their speed (79.4%) and simplicity (80.7%). To conclude, our study confirms the bibliographic review, and it was determined that practically all respondents assume the influence of digital platforms in the planning of their trips (99.1%), with 89% going further and affirming that in the future all planning will be carried out in an exclusive way online. © 2019 AISTI.

Abstract
This case study was conducted in the scope of the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in today’s society and provides the answer to the following questions: How are companies following the AI technology revolution?, How are organizational culture and identity changing within companies? and Where are companies investing in order to prepare to the upcoming competitive future? To answer these questions a semi-structured interview was done with Jorge Sousa, the Head of M2M/IoT & API Management & Virtual Assistant - Network and Service Solutions Department in Altice Labs. Altice Labs is owned by the multinational Altice Group and is responsible for the innovation and development of new solutions, technologies and trends in the telecommunications area for all the Altice group. Having already won several awards such as the Dell EMC Award in 2018 and the international Technology Leadership Award in 2017. Altice Labs is in a privileged position that only a few companies are in, performing high tech R&D. From this case study we conclude that organizational Identity and Culture are changing due to the external stimulus that AI is having in the market. These changes are being implemented as a sense-giving function of the organizational leaders and spokesmen that recognize the need of staying competitive in the market. The impact on the labor force status quo, layoffs and company culture are presented, aligning the interviewee’s opinion with the current theories on company culture, offering also an analysis on the tendencies of this revolution and summarizing the interviewee’s perspectives. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.

Abstract
Hiring outstanding employees is the goal of every company. Digitalization impacted the way companies work and the environment they are surrounded by. Considering this change, employees are facing new challenges for which a concrete skill set is needed. By conducting qualitative interviews, a distinct skill set required by companies was identified. The outcome is that soft skills moved to the forefront, playing a major role when coping with the digital future. In a further step, recommendations for talent management regarding recruitment and development of high potentials are given. With the implementation of technology and the adaption to the human resources perspective, companies will be able to master digital transformation. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.
