The 'New' Globalization of Engineering: How the Offshoring of Advanced Engineering Affects Competitiveness and Development
No full textChanges in the strategies of multinationals and in the global distribution and movement of technologists have accelerated a “new” globalization of engineering. Field studies with our colleagues in China, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, the UK, and the U.S., lead us to consider in this paper aspects of the recent offshoring of advanced engineering to emerging economies. We examine the potential consequences for multinationals and their home countries of the new globalization of engineering, many of which are unintended, suggesting the need for greater attention by managers, government policymakers and scholars

The Role of Community Colleges in Expanding the Supply of Information Technology Workers
No full textResearch report for The Urban Institute.
This paper examines the role of community colleges in expanding the supply of information technology (IT) workers. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative methods, we find contrasting evidence on the importance of these institutions. Analysis of the 1994 and 1999 Current Population Survey and interviews with large IT employers indicate that community colleges are not adding significantly to the supply of IT workers. However, enrollment data and case studies of four community colleges suggest that students undertake a substantial amount of IT training at community colleges. While graduation rates are low, enrollment in community college IT programs is high. Moreover, there is evidence that community colleges contribute to retraining workers who are already in IT jobs, those switching to IT careers in mid-life, and those with previous bachelor’s degrees.Originally published by The Urban Institute.

Community Colleges: Trainers or Retrainers of IT Workers

Can Expanding the Use of Computers Improve the Performance of Small Minority- and Women-Owned Enterprises?
No full textThis study aims at increasing our knowledge in this area by obtaining and analyzing new data to answer three key questions:
1. What performance and productivity gains are achieved when small businesses and minority- and women-owned enterprises (MWEs) implement information technology? What are the potential economic benefits of improving MWEs’ use of information technology?
2. What are the factors that lead some MWEs to take great advantage of computer technologies and that lead others to utilize computers only in a limited way? What are the barriers to MWEs’ adoption and effective use of technology? In particular, how significant are the impacts of constraints on capital, on knowledge of the technology and its possible role in improving businesses, and on the ability to train workers?
3. Is there a gap in computer use that separates small MWEs and small, white-male-owned enterprises? Are MWEs falling behind in adopting and implementing information technologies for important business functions?Originally published by The Urban Institute. Copyright © March 2004 The Urban Institute
