Facing the reality Ameer Yousif - Oct 2013
Theoretically • Cooperation between ICT & Businesses shall lead to: • Higher productivity • Improved efficiency • Reduced production Cost • Improved Safety • More environment friendly • Higher competition • Affordable products & services
Will try to answer this question by reviewing 3 sectors • Manufacturing • Telecommunication • Services
Manufacturing Sector • Huge & capital intensive projects • Highly automated • Achieved most of the theoretical objectives, BUT • Low number of jobs !!!
Telecommunication Sector • Technology intensive sector • Competition is very high • Worst example of CRM utilization • Many avoidable mistakes • Long queues & frustrated clients • Low number of jobs !!! • Staff dealing with clients are not trained well !!!
Services Sector • Highly automated • Long queues • Unhappy clients • Lower number of jobs
Why is that? • Good solutions leads to less jobs. • Badly designed solutions created more problems ! • Untrained young employees combined with bad solutions worsen the situation !!
So does ICT help in creating more jobs? Thank you
