Higher Educational

Higher educational institutions are widening participation through the introduction of new programs, using different approaches to deliver learning so that many people can have access to education. With the growing number of students in our higher educational institutions, coupled with learners who are working and by virtue of their job commitments cannot do traditional face-to-face education, using information technology (IT) to support lessons in higher education institutions has become very laudable. The introduction and use of technology have brought changes in the way we teach and support students in our higher education institutions. This, therefore, calls for effective IT leaders who will be able to motivate, inspire, and meet the learning needs of the diverse students in our institutions while improving teaching and learning. The IT leaders should not only be individuals who can only lead the change crusade but should be able to manage the change process.

Information technology (IT) has become a vital and integral part of every business plan. From multinational corporations who maintain mainframe systems and databases to small businesses, IT plays an important role. The principal objective of the present research is to know the Information Technology (IT) penetration in Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector. The study is conducted as field survey of 62 discrete manufacturers of MSMEs around the industrial areas of Hyderabad. Survey is conducted with the help of questionnaire designed to understand the level of IT usage (concentrating on web technology) in their day-to-day operations. Data are analyzed with the help of statistical tools and the results show that the MSME sector is resistant to Information Technology (IT) for their day-to-day operations. There is a wide scope for technological growth in MSMEs which is suitable for the sector. The final part provides some future policy framework for the sustainability of the sector.

The article examines the foreign experience of the outsourcing process. The analysis of outsourcing development in such countries as: USA, Germany, India, Japan, etc. is carried out. Outsourcing has become widespread due to the development of information systems and technologies. The role of multinational corporations in the development of outsourcing, primarily information technology, is determined and it is noted that American companies use outsourcing as a component of management strategy. Corporations such as Ford, British Petroleum, Procter & Gamble, Dell, Exel and others, due to the use of outsourcing have achieved high economic results: increased profits by almost half by reducing organizational and production costs, improving the overall efficiency of their companies, reengineering. Experts note that today the leader in international outsourcing is India, which accounts for 42.5% of IT outsourcing worldwide. The foundations of India's successful development in the field of information technology outsourcing are the support of the state, whose government since 1970-1980 identified IT as a priority for economic development and created export-production zones with preferential tax regimes. A significant share of the outsourcing market belongs to China, as well as Singapore, the Philippines and Malaysia. These countries have a developed infrastructure and a high-tech culture that ensures high quality order fulfillment. Vietnam and Indonesia also have a significant impact on the global outsourcing market, primarily due to more attractive pricing policies. The impact of outsourcing on the economies of countries is noted. The ranking of countries by the degree of development and implementation of outsourcing is studied. According to the ranking, the top 10 countries in the outsourcing market include India, China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, Chile and Colombia. It is worth noting that the leaders of the ranking are the countries of South and Southeast Asia, as well as Latin America. The factors of outsourcing development in the global economy are determined and the influence of human resources on the development of outsourcing in different countries is analyzed. The ways of state support for the development of outsourcing in the countries of the world are determined. In Germany, the High Technology Development Strategy was adopted last year, the main priorities of which are: innovative solutions in the field of digital technologies. The Brazilian government has adopted a new National Strategy for the Development of Science, Technology and Innovation, which aims to reduce the technological gap between Brazil and developed countries. The article also notes that the Ukrainian IT outsourcing industry is actively gaining ground in the global market. The rapid growth of IT outsourcing is due to the prospects, prestige and dynamism of the IT sector in Ukraine.
