RE-SKILLING 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹 FOR THE NEW GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY

온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹today is suffering from a skills shortage, made even worse by the economic crisis. Over the past decade, many business leaders have stressed that 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹 is simply not producing, attracting, or retaining sufficient numbers of scientists, engineers and IT specialists to meet the requirements of its industries, and the ambition of its Lisbon Agenda -- that is, to lead the global knowledge economy.
Focusing on this critical issue, INSEAD wrote the background report for the recent 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹an Business Summit. The report, entitled "Who Cares? Who Dares? Providing the Skills for an Innovative and Sustainable 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹," calls for 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹's government and business leaders to turn their attention to the importance of strengthening skills, and recommends a set of practical actions to help 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹 face its most urgent challenges in this area.
Drawing on data from collaboration between the INSEAD eLab team -- led by director Bruno Lanvin and senior research fellow Nils Fonstad -- and the World Economic Forum, the report shows that global competitiveness and a strong set of skills are strongly correlated. So a skills pyramid comprising three types of skills -- literary and basic skills; occupational skills; and global knowledge economy skills -- was developed to better understand how 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹 fared with the rest of the world.
While 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹 as a whole gets a "B" grade for literacy and basic skills, and a "B-" for occupational skills, it scores an alarming "C" for its global knowledge economy skills, an area in which most 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹an countries trail behind countries such as South Korea, the US, Japan and Singapore.
In the report, Lanvin and Fonstad underscore that this means that 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹 is under-equipped in terms of managers and leaders of innovation. In fact, the capacity to manage change, think innovatively about products, processes and usage is still scarce across 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹's companies and public entities; the ability to manage across multicultural (and often virtual) teams is also insufficient in many parts of 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹.
To encourage action in the development of skills across 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹, the INSEAD eLab team devised a six-point action plan: the 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹an Skills Pact. The first priority of this Pact is to combine forces across 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹's public and private sectors to help businesses retain as much of their work force as possible during the crisis, and to use times of turbulence to re-skill their staff, and prepare them for post-crisis times.
Another important recommendation of the Skills Pact is to allocate more of 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹's stimulus packages to those sectors which can best help build 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹's leadership after the crisis abates, especially through the provision of appropriate skills.
The Pact also recommends making scientific, engineering or technical careers more attractive for the younger generation, especially girls.
"It is quite striking that, on the one hand, we see 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹's gender gap diminishing in many areas, for instance in political representation or in the media, while, on the other hand, it seems to be growing when it comes technical and scientific studies," stresses Lanvin.
Another action item calls for the generation of a talent pool with the skills to tap the new global knowledge economy. "One of the lessons that emerges from the ESP recommendations is that innovation will be even more important in post-crisis times. If older economies, like most 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹an economies are, want to take advantage of the fact that they have had universities for 900 years, they will have to, first, grow the entrepreneurship drive that other parts of the world like the U.S. have, and, second, focus on innovation."
"They have to find the ways by which they can retain value, based on brains, because the commod온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹ization of a growing array of activ온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹ies will make them go to lower-wages economies. That's part of the game called globalization. To stay ahead of the pack, all economies -- old and new -- have to build brain-based comparative advantages, and be hubs of innovation," adds Lanvin.
Jean-Philippe Courtois, president of Microsoft International and a member of the Science Business Innovation Board, which is looking to help reset the innovation agenda in 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹, also believes that innovation is going to be the key driver of economic recovery.
"At the end of the day if we want 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹 or the countries across the continent to rebalance more quickly, they need to actually narrow the gaps on skills and in particular on innovation skills," says Courtois. "Innovation is not just technology, it can be in processes. It's actually very related to people-skills again and you have to bring that together to actually be the number one, or one of the top leaders in your group, in your industry. And (now's) the time to do it."
A separate action item calls for skills mobility within 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹, as well as between 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹 and other parts of the world. This is required by the existence of what the report calls a "온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹an skills divide," with Scandinavian countries overall tending to fare better in the global knowledge economy categories than the rest of the EU countries.
As Fonstad explains: "One of the things that comes out when you grade such a set of countries is the striking difference between a sub-group of countries which grades very high on the skills pyramid (for example, the Nordic countries) versus a sub-group which lags behind (such as Bulgaria). It is important for 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹 as a whole to address this gap, in particular through keeping its internal and external borders sufficiently open. In times of crisis, this message is worth the emphasis we give it in the report."
Currently, there are some 18 million unemployed people across 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹. However, the simultaneous existence of 4 million unfilled job vacancies indicates a serious mismatch in skills sets. Things are not all gloom and doom for 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹, however. "There are a host of best practices that are just begging to be expanded and taken advantage of," adds Lanvin.
So for the EU to lead in the global knowledge economy, the Lisbon Strategy must be reaffirmed and upgraded, w온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹h due consideration to the many ways in which the current economic crisis might lim온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹 온라인카지노 신용카드 랭킹s impact.
