Economic and Social Implications of IT and IT Workforce
Increased research in economic and social impacts will:
- Help in the design of information systems
- Identify barriers to adopting IT and its applications
- Provide more empirical data to policymakers
- Encourage the solution of problems caused by IT
Proposed efforts in training IT workers at U.S. universities:
- Faculty access to modern curricula and instructional material
- Graduate and post-graduate traineeships
- University research grants through other components of this initiative will help support graduate students
