The variance analysis (ANOVA) was used to test for the significance of regression results. Nevertheless, the framework interestingly presents an ambiguous role of foreign direct investment, revealing its positive impact on economic growth, but negative influence on social development. There are the impacts of the four dimensions on socioeconomic development, then there are the impact relationships between the four dimensions, and lastly, as discussed earlier, there are relationships between constructs within each of the four dimensions. Specifically, the paper reports on a study of potential differences in organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) of female and male IT professionals in Poland and Germany. In addition to this, the Italian schools will then need to formulate and implement policies that involve educators in the decision and planning process regarding ICT use in schools. In developing our framework, we considered four important dimensions relevant to socioeconomic development: society, technology, business, and policy. When expanding to general ICT, some of the relationships likely still apply, though some of the detailed results may not be applicable. Thus it may be interesting to explore if shortcomings in a specific concept could be compensated by an extraordinary performance of some other concept. In this introduction to the special issue on the role of ICT in socioeconomic development, we provide a conceptual multi-dimensional framework that considers four dimensions that impact socioeconomic development: policy, business, technology, and society. A digital ideas platform to support child-focusedSustainable Development Goals. This research has been financed in part by the funds granted to the Faculty of Management, Cracow University of Economics, Krakow, Poland, within the subsidy for maintaining research potential. The spread of information and communications technology and global interconnectedness has great potential to accelerate human progress, to bridge the digital divide and to develop knowledge societies.. Overall we were able to identify only six previously published frameworks that attempt to explain the effects of ICT on some aspects of socioeconomic development. Registered in England & Wales No. Challenges faced with the achievement of these goals are also reviewed. Role of technology in globalization: 1. [1] Kent, N., & Facer, K. (2004). His research interests include enterprise systems, ICT for development, and ICT for active and healthy aging. There is wide agreement that ICT together with supporting technologies make a substantial contribution to socioeconomic development (Sein, Thapa, Hatakka, & Sb, Citation2018). Business activities are undertakings performed by various entities such as individuals, companies, and institutions, with the potential to create economic gains. Madon's framework is specific to the Internet, rather than ICT in general, thus does not consider currently trendy ICT such as Big Data, Internet-of-Things, and Cloud Computing. Cited by lists all citing articles based on Crossref citations.Articles with the Crossref icon will open in a new tab. As students' age progresses, it is expected that the number of available computers increases, but on the ground, this is not the case. Having more students also led to overcrowding, thus decreasing the value of education. Different worlds? suggest the need to research the impact of age on organizational citizenship behavior, and Stal and Paliwoda-Pkosz point out the necessity of researching the role of age in designing and delivering ICT-based educational programs. Our special issue has eight papers that examine various aspects of socioeconomic development. In constructing the framework, we followed a systematic procedure as proposed by Jabareen (Citation2009). It has aimed at integrating ICT in all public schools. [19] Fu, J. Abstract: Within a framework of Communication for Development in Peacebuilding, this article sheds light on the use of art forms such as puppetry and photography as communication channels among youth affected by conflict and displacement. Through ICT, there have been drastic changes in various fields, such as in energy and manufacturing. The framework further shows that these socioeconomic developments in turn influence government policies, business culture, and infrastructure, which further generate developments in business activities and services. Of the allocated budgets, an increase is expected from year to year because the number of students enrolling in schools for education keeps on increasing. The paper proposes a framework for ICT-supported university courses to help design courses that also develop business and soft skills of students, and thereby improve students prospects in the job market, which is especially important due to rapidly changing business environment and technology evolution in developing and emerging economies. Most education material is available online at any time. More recently, Palvia, Baqir, and Nemati (Citation2018) proposed a framework that builds on Sen's capabilities approach (Sen, Citation1999). We examined whether there is any relationship between students' performance in ICT and the student's general performance in all the exams. Poland is an example of a transition economy, while Germany is one of the most developed countries in the world. The internet (or ICT in general) remains the greatest gift of technology to globalization. Multi-dimensional framework for the role of ICT in socioeconomic development. These implementations and integrations have focused solely on equipping the students and their teachers with necessary IT skills. (Citation2018), in turn, describe an example that the use of cellular phones is beneficial to small businesses in gaining additional customers. individuals, organizations, or countries. Their influence spans through social, political and economic globalization. His research interests include information technology for development, systems analysis and design, and computer-assisted decision-making.

These chocolates were given to students. (2014). A useful feature of the Palvia etal. Google Scholar De la Torre, J./Moxon, R. W. (2001): Introduction to the Symposium E-Commerce and Global Business: The Impact of the Information and Communication Technology Revolution on the Conduct of International Business. Government policies also strongly affect the general infrastructure. Journal of research in science teaching, 48(8), 952-984. We then proceeded to plot a scatter plot to examine whether our data sets (student computer performance versus general performance in all subjects) could be analyzed using linear statistical methods. Lacking in this framework is a temporal perspective, i.e. (3) Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become, within a very short time, one of the basic building blocks of modern global . Human capital is the skill and knowledge base necessary to generate a specific output. There was a pilot project in 1992 to integrate ICT into the Chilean education system. The scope of the three basic needs, food, shelter, and clothing, have increased and widened over time, and the efforts to accommodate such growth have been referred to as development goals. Further, Digitization has enabled students to move into an era of digital learning, spearheaded by ICT's adoption as an interconnected environment. This means that Italy is not well-positioned compared to other countries within the same region as far as IT equipment in schools is concerned. International Journal of Education and Development using ICT, 8(1). The society dimension includes education, human capital, and social capital. Communication technology is the key factor of globalization, which has a significant impact on the human existence, and it is a major driving force without which globalization would have not been possible. The provided content is safe and curated for use in the education system. [11] Hinostroza, E., Hepp, P., & Laval, E. (2000). Technology is the vital force in the modern form of business globalization. We explain the various concepts in our framework within each of these four dimensions. In this dimension, we include three areas for policies that strongly affect socioeconomic development: capital resources/market, international organizations, and government. In Part One of our two-article series, we provided an overview of the role of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in 8 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The governments focus should be on ICT and better education, delivered through integrating ICT into their educational system (Buabeng-Andoh, 2012). (2013) pointed out some of the measures that can be taken to address these challenges regarding schools and higher learning institutions, mainly by providing the appropriate access to technology. This research paper will examine the role of ICT in realizing sustainable education by 2030 by using scientific methods. It has been witnessed that most of the students have expressed some eagerness to approach and use the computer for the first time to develop new skills that have enabled them to discover knowledge as they improve their prospects in life. Elsevier. Sharing of ideas, information, goods, and services through globalization is also possible because of advances in communication technology and the media. With most of these countries having a high fertility rate, the number of children is continually increasing, putting pressure on the public system to provide efficient and effective services that touch on essential factors like health and education. ICT has helped institutions make more informed decisions that have led to the adoption of measures responsible for upholding the economy and environment's integrity. Extensive studies of economic activities in large cities (Haig, Citation1926) have led to the development of various related theories. Furthermore, the framework shows ICT impact on personal security and criminal use. Further, it outlines the researchs design, data, and sources. One of the factors that have resulted in much improvement in performance is the increase in efficiency and effectiveness in learning due to ICT implementation in Italy's education institutions. Hence, it is evident that the contribution of ICT in Italy fosters the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals in Italy's education for 2030 based on its performance in improving students' academic performance. These institutions will then have to be connected and linked into an education network monitored and safe for use. Because of such success, more than 90% of the student population have access to ICT, and 80% of the teachers deployed have been trained on using ICT equipment. Globalization makes international communication and business management easier and efficient for the world trade. In this regard, as suggested by Jacobs etal. It refers to the spread of technologies around the globe, and particularly from developed to developing nations. Information and communication technology are the back bone of globalisation. The Internet Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has had a revolutionary impact on communication, including the rise of near-instant communication by electronic mail, instant messaging, voice. For example, in the finance sector, the technical factors seem to be the strongest determinants for e-business diffusion, whereas in trade and tourism companies, the organizational factors are most influential. Madon (Citation2000) proposed a conceptual framework that attempts to explain the interaction between the Internet and socioeconomic development in developing countries. In: Global Information Technology Management, Vol. While UTAUT (Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, & Davis, Citation2003) is perhaps the most prominent among these technology acceptance models, the models that appear to be most relevant to our framework are the van Dijk (Citation2005) and SATUM (Spatially Aware Technology Utilization Model) models (Pick & Sarkar, Citation2015, Citation2016), as they capture multiple issues related to society, economy, culture, and politics. This implies that every single increase in computer unit score results in 2.5 unit scores for Italy's general performance. Unfortunately, many girls around the world face what is known as "period poverty."
