This report also examines the policies that helped in growth of the education industry in Singapore and the role being played by foreign universities in achieving the ambition of Singapore to be a ‘Global Education Hub’. Analysis of the global trend The global trend of internationalization of higher education, especially among universities in industrialised developed nations has been consistent in the last two decades or so and it has manifested itself by way of exchange of faculty, students and curricula.

...The Impact of Technology on the Education Industry by I. Wiggan September 27, 2011. Technology is the development over time of systematic techniques for making and doing things (Britannica Encyclopedia, 2001). According to the oxford dictionary; education is the process of training a person’s mind so that they can acquire knowledge. The combination of education and technology has been considered the main key to human progress. Education feeds technology, which in turn forms the basis for education (Fodje, 2006). The acquiring of knowledge allowed man to develop technological aid to make life easier. To date this same technology has impacted on the education industry in Jamaica. Technology has made a mark on Jamaica over the years; it is the fuel that drives Jamaica’s education industry at every level. Jamaica’s education model has four levels through which an individual can access or receive a formal education: Early Childhood Education; Primary Education; Secondary Education and Tertiary Education. At each stage of learning, technology has made a mark on students’ educational pursuits. At the Elementary stage of education, children between the ages of 2 – 6 years old are taught using audio visual aids. These are referred to as educational software; examples leapfrog and ‘my baby can read.’ These technological tools allow children to respond to audio and visual educational material. These mechanisms are tailored to gain the attention of children so that they learn prescribed...

...industrial nation as seen in steep declines in national industry so far as in manufacturing, resource collecting, and other goods producing labor. An explanation of how work has changed in Canada due to globalization, politics, and technology is seen to have guided service sector employment to the fore front of Canadian society. Higher education will be seen as a key factor to future “good” employment. BODY Industrialization refers to the technical aspects of the accumulation and processing of a societies resources. Industrialism is defined as a social or economic system built on manufacturing industries (Oxford Dictionary). Has Canada become a post-industrial society? I would sure have to say so! Canada of course still has aspects of manufacturing and resource processing across its vast provinces, but technology is quickly creating a new society of higher educated workers selling their knowledge of computers, not just the hardware and circuitry, but also the software and 01010’s that comprise the interfacing with the hardware. Of course that just scratches the surface of technology but at least you are now pointed in the general direction of where and how work will be done. To understand fully where we are today let’s look at the characteristics of an Industrial society and that of a post-industrial society, one that is leaving and entering a new age, much as industry did to agriculture. An industrial society utilizes technical...

...Multigenerational Workforce in Difference Industries Lingwen Meng Lee University Abstract The multigenerational diversity in workforces in different industries is getting larger in the last decade. Not only there are a major shifting of young workforce to professional industries and non-professional industries, but there is a growing in size of elder workforce in the most popular industries. This fact is creating many changes and challenges in communication between different generations at work. Keywords: multigenerational workforce, business communication Definition According to Department for Professional Employees, the young workforce is defined as people aged 20 through 34 who are working at the moment. On the other hand, the elder workforce is the people aged above 35 who are working. In 2013, young people were estimated to be twenty-seven percent of the professional workforce. Research On a macro scale, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2013, the total number of young workers in all industries was 49 million people out of 144 million employees in the U.S, which is 34 percent of the total workforce. The total number of elder workers in all industries was 95 million people out of 144 million employees in the U..S, which takes 64 percent of the total workforce. The amount of elder workers was nearly double the amount of young workers. Young workers with less education than associated degree are moving...

...rate of 3 %, a level that is mediocre by international standards and is still below what is deemed necessary for supporting a lasting transition to democracy and correcting the historical injustices of apartheid. Numerous policies have been implemented to correct these faults and increase growth but have seen little success. A combination of poor economic reasoning and implementation may account for this. But a recurring problem with historical and current policies is that they are contradictory and at times conflicting. The 2008 OECD report highlighted this in AsgiSA, which focuses on employee training but offers little to improve basic education. Therefore, correcting these faults and achieving increased growth calls for complementary policies to create a virtuous cycle for success. The following essay looks at the labour market, industry, trade and public-private partnerships as areas of focus for constructing a democratic developmental state. Policies suited for each of these focus areas are discussed whilst highlighting how they complement each other to achieve a virtuous cycle. The labour market A lack of skills and employment creation is one of South Africa’s fundamental economic weaknesses. High levels of structural unemployment, due to a lack of skilled labour, emphasize poverty and...

...ENHANCING STUDENT EMPLOYABILITY: Higher Education and Workforce Development Ninth Quality in Higher Education International Seminar in collaboration with ESECT and The Independent. Birmingham 27th-28th January 2005 The Competencies for Next Generation Employability Eamonn McQuade, Deirdre Hogan, John O’Donoghue, Theresa Maguire, Eamonn Murphy. Programme for the University Industry Interface, University of Limerick Conference Theme 3: Working with employers Abstract It is generally accepted that employees will need to broaden their knowledge, skills and competencies through a lifetime of learning if they are to remain employable, and if enterprises are to maintain their competitiveness in a knowledge-based global economy. However, identifying and developing skills and competencies for next generation employability in Ireland is a challenging task. The Programme for University Industry Interface (PUII) is an action research project, established in 2003, to determine the skills and competencies required by Irish Industry and to develop learning models that will facilitate their delivery. This paper presents the outcomes of an action research methodology based on a Community of Practice model (COP), which addressed the issues surrounding competencies for next generation employability. It proposes a competency framework which integrates the four key categories of skills: Business, Technical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and presents a set of recommendations...

...harder to achieve than in goods producing industries. There is no exact data about this but only some notion of hypothesis by the economists and business men support Baumol that it is hard to improve productivity in service sector due to some reasons. Service industry means one is offering their service using a platform and most commonly used platform till today is the labour force. The first reason that leads to the difficulty in improving productivity of a company is because service industry typically needs the intensity in their labour force to compare to the manufacturing industry. This is because the labour will deliver their service to the customer. They tend to involve a significant amount of customization or customer interaction, so their operations rely heavily on these labours. The more services to be delivered or the more customers to be reached, the more labour force will be required which then, costly per each labour salary they need to pay. For example, Hotel industry is labour-intensive since they need to hire more labours to satisfy their customer since they are delivering intangible goods to the customers and the only important platform of delivering that service which is the labour, must be qualified and enough. Talking about the importance in delivering the service to satisfy the customer, this is said to be the other reason for its harder to improve the productivity in service industry. Usually in manufacturing industry, the marketer will find out first what...

...Information Technology has been one of the fastest growing industries in the last three decades. With a growth rate of 5.6%, information technology sector is now more than a $1.6 trillion (Nasscom) industry from what was merely an industry of few millions in 1980s. Today almost all electronic devices have a chip programmed to run the device efficiently. Information technology does not just support the internet and computers; it has grown to almost every sector today, from computers to mobile phones, from banking to automobiles, from education systems to Business process, information technology is involved in improving the system performance everywhere. Information technology played an important role in improving process and performance of businesses. Globalisation had an important role in kicking off the demand for information technology. But this was not the only reason for high demand of software products and services, strong technological advances were being pursued in all sectors. Heeks and Nicholson (2004) identified that According to them the developed economies had significant growth in the sector since the 1970 after which the world saw rise of three countries, Israel, Ireland and India, who were then called the ‘first followers' in the industry and later came to be known as world leaders (Heeks and Nicholson, 2004). Outsourcing has been an important mode of business in information technology industry and most developed countries today outsource, from low level...

...most classical cases of high potential-low on performance type of industry. 68 years and beyond India still is trying to find the right foot for its manufacturing sector. Back in 1950s, India had a great platform and could have set stage for a prosperous future. But it was marred by political instability, vicious fights for power, cultural prejudice, caste discrimination, lack of entrepreneurial vision and above all sheer will to understand the cost of success. The Indian concept of ‘jugaad’ is good but is it this what is required for the success of manufacturing industry? The story till date: Not a happy start Today manufacturing in India accounts for approximately 15 % of the GDP. In 1993 the manufacturing sector was also around 15% of RESTRUCTURING INDIA’s GDP DISTRIBUTION Saurabh Kumar Singh IMT-Ghaziabad GDP. With almost negligible percentage of growth, countries like China or even Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines have shown significant improvement in the last decade. Since independence of India, the vision of the government never included good reforms for manufacturing industries. When it was the time for the Indian SMEs to understand that export was the key to ensuring their prosperous future, India was beleaguered by emergency and license Raj. China during this time was gathering forces which sky-rocketed their growth in the late 1980s. For example, the textile sector in India was a flourishing industry and the labour cost in India is almost half that of China, yet...

...Manufacturing: A brief global look by ??? April 9, 2011 Manufacturing is a key component of any country’s economy and many comparisons have been made between the United States (U.S.) and other countries. Since World War II the U.S. has been the leader of the manufacturing sector due mainly to the fact that the U.S. industrial plants were not devastated by the destruction of war as where most of Europe and Asia. This paper is a team effort and will give a brief look at the state of manufacturing and some of the incentives each government has used to entice the growth of manufacturing within their respective countries. The countries to be examined are the United States, China, Germany and Japan. You hear it on the news, read it in the newspapers and see the results in the stores that manufacturing is dead in the (U.S.); however, if you do a little research you find the U.S. is still the leader in manufacturing production. As Stephen Manning of the Associated Press acknowledged in a rare “just the facts” story in mid-February, the U.S. “by far remains the world’s leading manufacturer,” producing goods valued at a record $1.6 trillion in 2007 — nearly double the $811 billion produced a decade earlier. Indeed, the AP writer noted, “For every $1 of value produced in China’s factories [in 2007], America generated $2.50.” Not bad for a country that doesn’t produce anything anymore. Some other facts about U.S. manufacturing are: •The United States is the world’s...
