In contrast, declining living standards for the majority and the lack of employment opportunities for young people are two of the foundations of the renewed spectre of political extremism

Conversely labor market sectors which require lower skill sets have seen employee's terms and conditions become increasingly precarious (Cappelli 1993).

Consequently, those who are not academically successful are structurally shutout of stable and well-paid employment situations (Barrett 2010.

They are the experts on their own lives. At a more theoretical level it also suggests the need to challenge the orthodoxy within the functionalist managerial literature that often implicitly accepts the neoliberal paradigm (see for examples the critiques of Dey and Steyaert 2010 and Curtis 2008.

p. 1 Employers tackle‘unpredictable'skills mismatch in ICT sector...p. 2 EU's‘digital champions'make plea to next Commission...

In March 2013, the EU executive, spearheaded by the commissioner for the Digital Agenda, Neelie Kroes, launched the Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs

Five policy areas The EU executive has identified five ICT policy themes that need to be addressed by the member organisations and EU officials:

Employers also have to be better at explaining that the opportunities in ICT are attractive,

Keeping the momentum A Commission spokesperson told Euractiv that the EU's executive is definitely viewing the Grand Coalition initiative as a success so far.

as well as private employment services. Employers tackle‘unpredictable'skills mismatch in ICT sector Although ICT experts disagree on how big the future skills gap in the sector will be,

they are convinced that employers need to tackle the issue today through better training programmes, better start-up environments,

and recruiting more women. The past years'financial crisis is reflected still in the overall unemployment rate in the EU's 28 member states which at the start of the year was at around 10%.

%In Greece, however, the unemployment rate is closer to 30%and in Spain, one in four is unemployment.

Experts believe a new wave of big data and smartphone applications has the highest potential in terms of job creation.

the ICT sector will be in a desperate need for skilled workers, according to experts. But how big the skills gap will be is impossible to forecast in an ever-changing business environment.

000 workers in the ICT sector by 2015. Since then the consultancy Empirica has predicted that about 900,000 jobs should remain unfilled by 2020,

No image problem Higgins said that employers face a big challenge in communicating what sort of exciting job opportunities the industry is providing, especially since fewer people study computer science.

However, many ICT-related educations are not providing the ICT sector workers that suit the industry needs,

The solution could be better cooperation between employers and the academic sector when designing courses.

many of those who fit the existing job market or can create their own start-ups, leave for the single US market

but in general, a better support ecosystem has to be promoted across the EU, experts claim. We need that whole support infrastructure, mentors, access to finance.

Commission Vice-president Neelie Kroes is in charge of the executive's wide ranging digital agenda, which is held by supporters to be an integral part of Europe's economic recovery.

DG Employment is also running an initiative called New Skills for New Jobs to develop better matching-up of skills and labour market needs.

experts warn. As researchers from the Belgian university KUL stressed in a study recently, high-tech education is increasingly becoming key in every single aspect of society,

000 skilled ICT workers by 2020. To address the issue, the SEPE together with Digital Europe on Tuesday (6 may) hosted the conference E-Skills for Jobs 2014 Grand Event:

Changes attributed to this technology include new patterns of work organization and worker productivity job creation and loss, profit and loss of companies,

dispensing increasingly with the sweat and the old craft skills of workers in the fields and workshops,

being indicated by the presence of workers with high formal educational attainments and skill qualifications, company run on-the-job training programs,

and programs of company reorganization linked with computerization and worker retraining. Taking those into account statistically leads to substantial elimination of the apparent excess of the estimated returns ON IT capital vis-à-vis the returns on capital of other kinds. 22

but the same would not appear to be true of intangible investments in the retraining of workers and the reorganization of business operations that,

To be sure, employees are being given general purpose tools that may be and often are useful for devising new ways to perform their Work at the same time, however,

In any case, it is expected now that a modern organization will provide reasonably sophisticated information technology as part of the office equipment to which every employee is entitled.

This may well be an emerging trajectory of ICT development that will impinge directly upon the specific task performance of workers equipped with such devices,

with only about a fifth of the workforce time in large service sector firms providing data communications network links with employees'homes,

Organizational change always causes changes in different proportions in employee tasks and how to do. In situations where employees do not have the knowledge to achieve them

it is likely that these changes seek to avoid or to reduce as much. disrputions on networking system Disruption of the person within the organization.

The average number of R&d employees is considerably larger in the high and medium than in the low R&d intensity sector.

This is the result of the high share of R&d employees in large companies that responded from technology, hardware & equipment and pharmaceuticals & biotechnology (high R&d intensity), automobiles & parts, industrial engineering,

Cloudsourcing-the cloud sparks a new generation of consultants & service brokers (2010), http://www. processor. com/editorial/article. asp?

From the close interaction with the experts in the field, we derived an approach for the evaluation based on the feedback of the citizens and also of the operators (with focus groups and periodic interviews) in terms of:

when the role of ICT experts will be reduced substantially. To this end, we wish to propose three grand research challenges.

handing it over to business experts. To this end, the ICT domain needs to push forward the implementation of future ES development environments,

specifically conceived to be used directly by business experts. Such development environments will be based on an evolution of MDA,

interfaces will foster new development environments conceived for business experts to directly intervene in the development process.

This GRC requires, again, a strategic synergy between ICT and business experts. Together, they need to cooperate in developing a new breed of services, tools, software packages,

In particular on the first and the second GRC that concern the development of new FINESS capable of offering to the business experts the possibility of directly governing the development of software architectures.

where business expert can directly manage a new generation enterprise software architectures. Cloud computing represents an innovative way to architect

since it is built by business experts by using Enterprise Systems/Architectures (including Business Process) Engineering methods

S3 FINES Redesign System This system is used mainly by business experts who, once identified the area (s) where it is necessary/suitable to intervene,

This task is achieved by using a platform with a rich set of tools necessary to support the business experts in their redesign activities that are,

Future Internet Enterprise Systems 415 5. 1 A Business-Driven FINES Develpment Platform In order to put the business experts at the centre of the ES development process, we foresee a platform

Then, business experts supervise and complete the work. This approach represents a marked discontinuity with the past,

since a FINES will be engineered directly by business experts and not by IT specialists. In fact, business experts will be able to select

manipulate, and compose FINERS at best, since they know better than IT specialists what the different business entities (represented by FINERS) are,

(ii) the mirroring of the real world business entities,(iii) the full control of the architecture by the business experts. 6 Conclusions At the beginning of the 80s,

Active labour market policy is a top priority to sustain employment, strengthen social cohesion and reduce the risk of poverty.

Smart cities have been pointed recently out by M2m experts as an emerging market with enormous potential,
