Accompanying the global spread of the post-industrial society (Bell, 1973) are nations who see economic opportunity deriving from the development of an information economy to support it (Porat, 1977). But while advanced industrialized nations moved gradually from industrial to post-industrial work over a period of decades, newly industrializing countries are “leapfrogging” directly from agrarian to information-intensive work in a matter of years. Given this rapid labor force transformation, a critical consideration in the development of a global information sector is the development and management of information technology (IT) workers.

Development And Management

Accompanying the global spread of the post-industrial society (Bell, 1973) are nations who see economic opportunity deriving from the development of an information economy to support it (Porat, 1977). But while advanced industrialized nations moved gradually from industrial to post-industrial work over a period of decades, newly industrializing countries are “leapfrogging” directly from agrarian to informationintensive work in a matter of years. Given this rapid labor force transformation, a critical consideration in the development of a global information sector is the development and management of information technology (IT) workers. Ireland is an appropriate country for examination of this leapfrog phenomenon because it was one of the earliest examples of this phenomenon, having developed its information sector rapidly and successfully through inward investment by multinational firms during the 1970s to the 1990s. Thus, this case offers the point of view of both an advanced industrialized or “first wave” country and of a “second wave” country that is taking an alternate path into the information economy by rapidly moving directly from an agrarian or partially-developed industrial economy into an information economy. Since Ireland was one of the earliest examples of “leapfrogging”, the Irish case has lessons applicable to other contexts (Trauth, 2000).

Economic Outlook

The article investigates essence and content of the information economy, which, at the present stage of the global ecosystem is changing traditional narratives of economic theory. Article studies influence of post-industrial society to the origin of the information economy paradigm statements and its ecosystem. The author systematized conceptual provisions of foreign and domestic scientists on the essence and content of the information economy in the context of the evolution of development of this economic paradigm (starting from theory’s inception in 60s of the twentieth century up to modern theoretical and methodological developments). Based on research, the author concluded that the information economy is not just post-industrial wave of development. It is a separate, independent paradigm of world economic outlook, which is the result of evolutionary changes in the technological, economic, political and social arrangement on the general international level.

This concluding chapter explains that American-style postwar “Fordism” was only one pattern in the mottled global legacy left behind by Henry Ford. It was not the least ideological effect of American hegemony that in the 1960s modernization theory could universalize this unique historical arrangement — what can be called “high mass-consumption” — as the target of successful development itself. Responding to the crisis of the 1970s and 1980s, social scientists added a next phase: “Post-Fordism” or “post-industrial society” signaled deindustrialization to some and the promise of a “service and information economy” to others. What united these constructs was a thinking in sequential stages, a preoccupation with national patterns of development, and a theory of causation centered on self-generating forces. It has become clear that cycles of industrialization and deindustrialization are inseparable from concerted efforts to restructure the global division of labor, that productive dual-use technologies are fiercely contested by states and corporations alike, that investment and disinvestment cannot be dislodged from contests over the terms of globalization, and that capital has no autonomous power outside of the designs and struggles of political actors.

The ‘Digital economy’ is sometimes used synonymously with ‘information society’, which emerged back in the 1960s to describe a futuristic society that is highly dependent on information (Bridges.org, 2001; Computer Systems Policy Projects, 2000). Martin (1997:87) further associates the concept with ‘information economics’ by defining it as a society in which there is a growing rate in the production, distribution and use of information. The ‘Digital economy’, as term and concept, has been used in this book in keeping with ‘information society’ as espoused by Schienstock et al. (1999), who view it from an interdisciplinary perspective to describe: An information economy;A post-industrial society; The end of the industrial labour society; A knowledge society; An ‘informatized’ industrial society; and A learning society.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the development of society in the humanitarian and technological spheres at the turn of the century. The analysis of the influence of the development of various technologies on the life of the human society is carried out. In the course of a new stage of the modern scientific and technical revolution, the post-industrial society has entered the period of all-encompassing and global information automation and machine computerization before our eyes. Revolutionary technologies lead to the replacement of heavy monotonous physical labor of people with new machine complexes with elements of artificial intelligence. Humanity is entering a contradictory stage of its development, technologies are improving, science is developing, and at the same time socio-economic and environmental problems are aggravated. The digital society exists as a given.

A project for the long-term strategy of Russian break-through into post-industrial society is suggested which is directed at transformation of the hi-tech complex into the leading factor of economic development. The thesis is substantiated that there is an opportunity to realize such a strategy in case Russia shifts towards the mechanism of the monetary base growth generally accepted in developed countries: the Central Bank increases the quantity of "strong" money by means of purchasing state securities and allocates the increment of money in question according to budget priorities. At the same time for the realization of the said strategy it is necessary to partially restore savings lost during the hyperinflation period of 1992-1994 and default of 1998 and to secure development of the bank system as well as an increase of the volume of long-term credits on this base.

New conditions, technological capabilities and development prospects of the geodetic industry in recent time are characterized. The directions and strategy of the developing the industry, aimed at increasing its national importance by expanding the field of activity from the level of geoinformation to the level of its widespread use are substantiated. The solutions and tasks for the transfer of geo-information activities to a digital basis are listed. The definition of the geospatial activity’s concept is given. The conceptual structure and essentially new directions of geospatial support development of territories taking into account the perspective are offered. They are creating a single territorial geo-information space, designing and developing geo-cognitive technologies for forming geospatial knowledge, developing geo-cognitive technologies for preparing geo-spatial solutions to ensure territorial development and management. The technological levels of formalization and use of geospatial knowledge at preparing spatial solutions are considered. The forecast of expected efficiency received from geospatial activity in the digital economy is given. The scientific and technical directions for the successful geospatial supporting the spatial development of the country and solving tasks of transition to the digital economy are listed.
