Economists have demonstrated the existence of a positive correlation between management quality and the country's economic performance. In turn, business simulation games have shown their educational effectiveness in developing management skills crucial for African countries. However, its use is still incipient. Although they present different characteristics favourable to its implementation, for example: The African Continental Free Trade Area, the Digital Transformation Strategy Project for Africa (2020-2030) and The Pan-Africa Games Group, they also present singular characteristics such as the predominance of the informal sector, political instability and high corruption rates. These factors influence the design and adoption of a Pan-African Business Simulation Games Framework suitable for this specific context. This proposal aims to contribute a gaming framework to support collaborative development and appropriation by the end-users and Multi-User with content representative of their contextual diversity. The successful EVER project and Bootcamp created by the Mozambican firm ITIS, which adopted a lean startup methodology to add local content in Business Games, can serve as inspiration for the Pan African Business Simulations Games - PABSG.

The pressure is intense in organizations to change on digital technologies triggering tools to provide competitive on customer demanding needs. The need to have, in an organization, the appropriate infrastructures for its collection, storage, processing and distribution means that an appreciable portion of the efforts of institutions and / or organizations in terms of human and financial resources. In addition to this effort, there is the organizational change that is now a nowadays concept in organizations. The primary goal of this research is to understand how digital transformation can influence the performance of healthcare organizations. The theoretical contribution of this study is to provide inputs and identify variables to lead information about the research of change management, and then particularly in change management associated to digitalization.

In order to achieve carbon emissions' target imposed by the European commission, there were exceptional measures executed. The goal was to encourage the use of public transport in urban areas. It was assumed in this study that digitalization at the service of users and managers of public transport networks is a key instrument to improve their efficiency and attractiveness. Given the topicality and importance of the subject, it was pertinent to establish as the core goal of this work, not only the study of the currently used mobile applications within the urban areas of Lisbon and Porto, but also its impacts on the development of public transportation. Ultimately it was intended to identify among the users, the need for possible developments. As a methodology, an exploratory focus group was used at first. Therefore, it was possible to gain a comprehensive understanding on the users of public transports, their preferences, and which applications they most commonly use. Additionally, at the end of the focus group an inferential survey was also analyzed, amended and validated. This survey had the main objective of collecting the necessary data for analyzing the impact of an application for mobile devices, with the goal of improve the quality of public transport. After reviewing the results, it was possible to conclude that it exists a wide range of digital applications available on the market. In fact, these applications allow the mitigation of some transport problems/issues, thus improving the user experience of public means of transportation. This leads to the conclusion that it has a positive impact on the user. Finally, the need to improve current functions and even add new features was also identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
