With the ever competitive global market swamped with more choices of high-tech gadgets from smartphones to head-mounted display eyewear like “Google Glass”, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is one of the key factors to engineering and technological advancement and the bridge to the future. In view of such significant importance, the government of Malaysia has been embarking on national policies to prioritise the education and the programmes on ICT to train and produce highly skilled ICT workers to achieve the nation’s ambition to become a developed country. Despite the government efforts, studies have shown that Malaysia is still currently facing shortage of skilled ICT workers. In view of this shortage of skilled ICT worker problem, a systematic engineering problem solving theory known as TRIZ is applied to generate ideas and potential solutions to solve this problem in this research.

Global market developments and the large-scale use of diverse applications in the area of information and communication technology (ICT) have been key factors in the emergence of distributed teams. Such teams are often referred to as virtual teams. Virtual teams enable collaboration between people across traditional boundaries and offer tremendous opportunities for various achievements. Businesses are no longer tied to a single time zone and are, for example, able to develop software around the 24-hour clock. The Internet—as the almost universal medium for interaction across boundaries—has created an infrastructure that enables many organizations to launch virtual teams. Hardly any technical obstacle for communication and collaboration across geographic boundaries remains, as these processes are supported by high-tech collaboration solutions such as groupware and other collaborative applications (e.g., videoconferencing, electronic blackboards). Virtual teams have a number of opportunities that are not found with co-located teams, such as involving rare expertise.

Electronic government or e-government provides great potential for citizens and governments to reduce information cost and maximize the speed of government-citizen interaction. Nearly all governments around the world use Web-based technologies to provide their citizens with access to government services, and to enhance the chances for e-participation in democratic institutions and processes. In Malaysia, the e-government implementation started in 1997 with the aim to deliver services and information effectively and efficiently, and to achieve a fully developed country in the year 2020. Nowadays, many governments of developing country have utilized Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to deliver their services to citizens, and there is also an increasing demand for successful implementation of e-government services within developing nations. It is therefore essential that citizens must be able to use the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in order to assure nation-wide e-participation besides improving channels and contents of public service deliveries on the part of the government. In view of this, the aims of this chapter are to present the current state of e-government in Malaysia, to discuss participation behavioral in the implementation of e-government services, and to highlight approaches that can be considered in enhancing the e-government services through this participation behavioral.

Political and economic factors in Malaysia are aware of the need to increase the country's role in international scientific networks. National strategies and programs are working to create political conditions for the growth of the share of scientific achievements and high-tech industries. The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation has primary responsibility for the development and coordination of research and development (R&D) policies in Malaysia. The state encourages national and foreign businesses to invest in R&D, although the share of state-owned companies in large projects remains decisive. Corporate participation in advanced R&D areas in Malaysia is still limited, so proactive efforts will be required to develop this area. The Government of Malaysia has developed a system for supporting international cooperation in the field of R&D, signed about 200 high-level bilateral agreements, which envisage the development of research cooperation. In recent decades, Malaysia has moved from a recipient of international scientific and technical support to a group of partner countries, and in a number of aspects – donors. Given Malaysia's commitment to transforming into a high-income country, we can expect an increase in its role in the development of biotechnology, information and communication technologies (ICT), industrial and space technologies. On these positions, Russia and Malaysia have overlapping interests and could increase cooperation. Malaysia, which does not have a deep scientific and technical tradition, respects the experience of Russian scientists. It is necessary to use this potential and strengthen the Russia's position in R&D in Malaysia and the Southeast Asia as a whole.

Integrated Indicators

The usage of integrated indicators is an essential characteristic for development program implementation of Russian higher education, including the competitiveness improvement program. The competitiveness improvement program is a project of the Government of theRussian Federationaimed at significantly increasing the competitive position of leading Russian universities in the global market for educational services and research programs (Project 5-100). Different groups of program participants face different positive and negative aspects of this management tool. One of the risks bound up with focusing on indicators is often called the mismatch of the indicator system focused on the international model of universities, and the role of universities as drivers for the regions’ development and sectors of the Russian economy. This risk requires a systematic assessment.The purpose of this study was to systematize the events of changing and using the indicator system in the program at various levels of management, taking into account the general context in which the program is implemented, to compare them with the indicators of individual universities and create an information basis for further comparison with university practices. Two universities of the 5-100 program, which have a strong tradition of working with both basic and high-tech industries, were selected as reference universities for a preliminary analysis.An important part of this study apparatus was the historical comparison method of changes in the indicator system in dynamics.

Wealth Generation

<div><p><em>The confluence of technological advancement, globalisation and economic liberalisation in the recent years has prompted governments in developed and developing countries alike to prioritise skills development as a key strategy for economic competitiveness and growth. India has the youngest and one of the largest pools of “demographic dividend” that needs to be nurtured, and through appropriate skill development it can foster economic growth, equitable wealth generation as well as meet the global skill shortages. The large population, majority of which are either unemployed or underemployed in the unorganized sector, need to be given adequate skill training which will not only aid the industries but will also encourage entrepreneurial ventures that will in turn generate future employment opportunities and fuel economic growth. This paper is an attempt to understand the existing skill development landscape in India by having a birds’s eye view of the importance of skill development for the economy, skill related statistics, institutional framework in skill development, skill development initiatives running in the country currently, major challenges, policy framework and the road head for meeting the Government’s aim to train 500 million people by 2022 by empowering all individuals through improved skills, knowledge and nationally and internationally recognised qualifications to gain access to decent employment and ensure India's competitiveness in the global market. It is observed that in order to make the skill development mission a success, it is important for the Government to focus on inclusive measures, quality in delivery, use of information and communication technology to meet scalabity and speed of delivery, introduction of modular and short term programs to meet industry specific needs etc. The cooperative federation and the involvement of States will further boost the skill development ecosystem in India.</em></p></div>
