What industry is information technology?

Question 1: which industry does information technology belong to? The tertiary industry.

The primary industry refers to the department that directly obtains products from nature through human labor. China's regulations specifically refer to agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery. The secondary industry refers to the department that processes the products (raw materials) provided by the primary industry and this industry. China's laws and regulations specifically refer to mining, manufacturing, electricity, production and supply of natural gas and water, and construction. The tertiary industry refers to the department that provides final services for consumers and intermediate services for producers (including producers in tertiary industries). Refers to other industries except primary and secondary industries.

Question 2: What do information technology talents mean? Information technology talents include information industry talents and information application talents.

Information industry talents mainly refer to information talents employed by the first information department, and also include information technology industry talents (electronic information industry talents include manufacturing and software industry talents, and information technology service talents include communication operation talents and computer technology service talents) and information service talents (including information professionals, information consulting service talents and Internet service talents between information service industry and information technology industry). Talents in radio, film and television industry and communication culture industry (including publishing industry talents) should also be counted as information industry talents and information application talents according to the North American industrial classification system, mainly referring to information talents employed by the Second Information Department, including professional information technology talents (such as technicians in traditional industry information centers), information management talents (such as enterprise CIOs) and information technology application talents (ordinary employees with information literacy) in the Second Information Department.

Information is universal to all walks of life, and all walks of life can apply information technology to develop information resources, so all walks of life have their own information talents, that is, general information talents; At the same time, information technology has become an industry with professional particularity, and the information talents needed by the information technology industry (IT industry) are professional information talents. General information talents and professional information talents are both in short supply in the industry. The former is a scarce talent in the information transformation of traditional industries; The latter is a scarce talent for the development of information technology industry.

The international competition situation of information talents and the challenges faced by China

In the information age, those who get talents win the world. The competition of information talents has increasingly become the commanding height of competitiveness competition in all countries of the world.

According to incomplete statistics, the global demand for information talents is growing. In addition to the demand for 850,000 information talents in the US market, according to a joint survey conducted by Microsoft and IDC UK Market Research Company, the information technology talent gap in Europe in 2003 reached 6.5438+0.74 million. The survey also believes that many projects will not be implemented due to the shortage of information technology talents. It is estimated that in the next three years, the resulting tax losses to Europe will be as high as 380 billion euros. In Japan, in the next 10 year, there will be a shortage of scientific and technological talents1601445,000, among which information technology talents are the most scarce. This is still the case in developed countries, not to mention developing countries eager to catch up in the information society.

Although the United States is busy streamlining institutions and laying off employees during the low tide of the Internet, the high-tech industry is still a buyer's market, and the demand for talents is in short supply, among which software designers, test engineers and programmers are the most sought after. In the fierce competition for information talents, American companies use their economic advantages to recruit it talents, not only providing stock options and generous bonuses, but also providing free BMW cars and dry cleaning clothes. In order to make up for the serious shortage of professionals in the field of information technology, regardless of the domestic unemployment rate and foreign immigrants, Germany has adopted a policy of making exceptions for information technology talents. It is planned to introduce about 20,000 information technology talents from countries and regions outside the EU within two years. Britain has shortened the time for issuing labor permits for information technology talents from 1 month to 1 week.

In the international competition of information talents, developing countries are at a disadvantage. When analyzing the situation of information talents in Latin America, IDC concluded that speeding up the training of network professionals has become a top priority for Latin American countries, otherwise it will affect the progress of regional economy integrating into the world economy.

IDC predicts that Latin America will face a shortage of information technology talents in 2004, with a shortage of 475,000 people. According to the report, the demand for information network talents in Latin America is in short supply, and the shortage will increase by 9% every year. By 2004, Latin American countries will need 675,000 information technology talents, while the existing education system in Latin America can only provide about 200,000 professionals.

In 2004, Brazil and Mexico will be the countries with the largest demand for information technology talents in Latin America, and there will be a gap of 248,000 professionals and 1 1.8 million professionals respectively. At the same time, the imbalance between supply and demand of talents in Argentina, Venezuela and Chile is relatively good, but there will be about 30,000, 20,000 and 8,000 professional vacancies respectively.

Developing countries have also begun to adopt different countermeasures. & gt

Question 3: What is IT industry and what are its occupations? The word IT only refers to information technology, which covers a wide range. All industries dealing with or applying information technology, such as banking, consulting, hospitals, publishing, manufacturing, film and television, rely on information and information systems. Computer software and hardware, Internet and other network environments connect all the above things, and of course there are people engaged in design, maintenance, support and management, forming an ubiquitous IT industry.

The year 2000 problem proves that we are now relying more and more on computer technology in all aspects. In the professional market, IT work is undoubtedly the hottest. In fact, many analysts believe that information technology is the most powerful factor to promote the strong economic development of North America for a long time since World War II.

Computers and networks have become an inseparable part of our lives, and all industries depend on them. This dependence has led to a large number of job opportunities in the IT industry.

Information technology has become the core of human beings, which is related to how people share information, how to develop creatively, how to eliminate global barriers and improve the effectiveness of information itself.

Who is working for it today?

Skinny, wearing glasses like the bottom of a beer bottle, with a hairstyle like a chicken nest, all social activities are just people who chat with pizza delivery kids in a chat room at 2 am?

This view is inevitably a bit outdated and inaccurate. It was the computer that mythologized those people. We always feel that people who deal with computers are different from us ordinary people.

There is no doubt that people in the IT industry are extremely smart. Even in other industries, their work needs wisdom and creativity. In the IT industry, it needs extremely cutting-edge research and development work, and modern industry has developed to include the foundation of the business world that generates and supports information flow.

People who join the IT industry are extremely smart, interested, creative, pragmatic and ambitious, with unparalleled creativity, health and clear action goals. Quite a few people already have humanities or business degrees and are looking for their own ideals. They found that their current jobs lacked challenges and development, so they decided to engage in the information industry with high challenges and high returns after research.

Is IT a low-paid technical job?

Of course not. Every company employs IT experts. In fact, the IT industry has been in short supply. Just look through the newspaper and see those reports about the company's urgent shortage of IT personnel, and you will understand that this is really a seller's market.

This is mainly due to changes in automation. All industries have a broad technical foundation, from entry-level hardware support to advanced company development. If we don't consider the technical level, there is no way to make a business strategy for the company, so information technology has participated in the development strategy and designed and guided the business objectives very effectively.

According to the survey of IDC 1998, the industries with high demand for IT personnel are: telecommunications, business services, medical care, retail and wholesale, and financial services. Compared with the technology industry that only employs technicians, it is much more extensive.

The opportunity of information technology is global, and it has penetrated into every corner of the economy. It has also created many job opportunities that have never appeared before, and the development momentum is getting faster and faster. At the same time, it also means that its salary level is very high, and they are absolutely competitive.

In any case, the IT industry is an attractive industry!

What is proper training?

The length of training depends on the industry you intend to enter. Usually, the key step for you to start your IT career is to choose a school-depending on the length of your study in the school-which usually won't be long. You don't need to go to college for four years, nor do you need to go to night school for two years. In fact, you will be certified within 6 months, which will give you many job opportunities. Full-time study, of course Rome was not built in a day. Although six months is not a long time, it is enough for a person who intends to change careers and devote himself to it.

Technology has played a major role in this transformation. You must have them. Such as "MCSE", "LAN/WAN", "VISUAL BASIC" and "VISUAL C++" are not English words. Many people are not familiar with them, because this business is still very new and well developed ... >>

Question 4: What does information service mean? Information service industry refers to the socio-economic behavior of service providers to help information users solve problems with unique strategies and contents. Judging from the nature of workers' labor, this kind of behavior includes production behavior, management behavior and service behavior. Information service industry is the key to realize commercialization, marketization, socialization and specialization of information resources development and utilization.

Information service industry includes system integration, value-added network services, database services, consulting services, maintenance training, electronic publishing, exhibitions and other services.

Information service industry is a soft part of information industry. Information service industry is an important industrial sector engaged in the development and utilization of information resources and belongs to the tertiary industry. Information service industry is an intermediate industry connecting information equipment manufacturing industry and information users. The development of information service industry is helpful to expand the demand of information equipment manufacturing industry and increase the supply of information users.

The development of information service industry is not only an industry problem, but also related to the overall situation of national economic and social development. Information service industry has become one of the fastest growing, most active and highest value-added industries in the world today.

Information service industry is a specialized industrial complex that uses modern science and technology such as computers and communication networks to produce, collect, process, process, store, transmit, retrieve and utilize information, and provide services for the society with information products. Mainly divided into three categories: information transmission service industry; IT service industry (information technology service industry); Information resource industry (mainly information content industry).

At present, the trend of "service" in the global information industry is becoming more and more obvious, and the proportion of information service industry in the gross national product is also increasing. In recent years, China has continuously issued relevant policies to support the development of information service industry, and put forward some new views and thoughts on the development and positioning of information service industry. In Guangdong, there are many small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in information service industry, so with the country's emphasis on information service industry and the rapid development trend of international information service industry, it also poses more challenges to our enterprises engaged in information service industry in Guangdong; On the other hand, we also see that with the convergence trend of mobile, communication, computer and other industries, it is bound to provide more business opportunities for these small and medium-sized enterprises, such as animation games, software industry, digital TV and so on. These information service industries are developing rapidly in Guangdong.

Information service mainly refers to all kinds of service processes around the promotion and application of information system software and hardware products, including network information service and professional computer service. Network information services now mainly refer to information services provided through the Internet, including Internet access services (ISP, that is, connecting users' computers or other terminal devices to the Internet through telephone lines, coaxial or wireless means), Internet content provision services (ICP, that is, providing Internet information search, sorting and processing services) and network application services (ASP, that is, providing various Internet-based application services for enterprises and institutions to carry out information construction and e-commerce). Professional computer services include system integration, consultation, training, maintenance and facility management.

In recent years, China's information service industry has developed rapidly, and the growth rate is much higher than the average economic growth rate. At the same time, we should see that China's information service industry is still in its infancy, accounting for a small proportion in the information industry market. With the advancement of informatization in China, it is expected that the information service industry will maintain a high-speed development trend in the future.

The development characteristics of China's information service industry are: system integration and network services are the main business components. Among them, the system integration industry developed earlier and the service level was higher. In 2000, its turnover was 25 billion yuan, accounting for 78% of the information service industry and occupying an absolutely important share in the information service industry. In 2000, the turnover of network service industry was 5.3 billion yuan, accounting for 16.7%, but the development speed was amazing, which became a new driving force for the growth of information service industry. The development of database service industry is relatively backward. In 2000, the turnover was only 654.38 billion yuan, accounting for 0.3%, which could not meet the demand of informatization in service content and service level.

Question 5: Introduction to the information technology industry. Information technology includes sensing technology, communication technology, computer technology and control technology. Maybe you are not satisfied with this definition, but it is a concise, concrete, systematic and practical definition. Sensing technology is the technology of obtaining information, communication technology is the technology of transmitting information, computer technology is the technology of processing information, and control technology is the technology of using information. Therefore, this definition not only gives the content of information technology, but also defines the system of information technology acquisition-transmission-processing-utilization, and also defines the concepts of sensing, communication, computer and control. The function and relationship of technology with clear definition, clear field and public perceptual knowledge in information system. Although the four technologies of sensing, communication, computer and control have their own functions in the information system, they are mutually contained, intersected and integrated in terms of technical elements. Sensing, communication and computer are inseparable from control; Sensing, computer and control are also inseparable from communication; Sensing, communication and control are inseparable from computers. All data and information useful for human social activities can be called information. Generalized information includes not only the information of enterprise's production and operation activities, but also the information of national economy and even world economic activities. It includes not only economic information, but also scientific and technological information, social and cultural information and life information. In a narrow sense, information mainly refers to micro and macro-economic information related to the production and operation activities of enterprises. Information means and information technology mainly refer to computer systems engaged in information processing, public opinion and communication tools engaged in information transmission and corresponding information science theories. Therefore, information technology industry refers to the production, circulation and sales of information and the corresponding information science theory.

Question 6: What does the education information technology major do? What are you doing outside? The education information technology major in the university is mainly engaged in computer management, website management, and the application of software in the classroom, including photography and video technology. After graduation, I can work in the department of audio-visual education and education bureau, but there is still a shortage of modern educational information technology talents.

Question 7: What is information technology service? The core of national informatization construction is the development and utilization of information resources, and the key lies in the large-scale development of information technology service industry, the establishment of new information technology service concepts and industrial operation mechanisms suitable for national conditions, and the creation of new information technology service models. Developing knowledge dissemination service, scientific and technological innovation service, life consumption service and commercial economic service is the goal and fundamental way out of the industrialization of information technology service industry, and it is a new market and technical power to realize the leap-forward development of industrial chain, value chain and relationship chain. To realize the transformation of the whole industry from information technology service to all-round service, the effective solution is to establish the operation mode of "knowledge database+knowledge dissemination service platform" based on information technology service.

Information technology service refers to providing information technology services to users, among which, information technology service refers to services that help users achieve their own goals by promoting the efficiency of information technology systems. It mainly includes the following nine categories: information technology consulting, information technology operation and maintenance, design and development services, testing services, data processing services, integrated implementation services, training services, information technology tool applications, and information system value-added services.

Information technology service is the knowledge matrix of China People's Academy of Sciences. It is a new concept of applied scientific service, and is committed to expanding modern service industry. It studies and applies advanced science and technology to continuously improve and improve the quality of people's livelihood. The basic strategy of knowledge service is to implement the integrated development strategy of information technology service, knowledge dissemination service, scientific and technological innovation service, life consumption service and commercial economic service, innovate matrix management system and operation mechanism, build a trinity business model of scientific experiment, technical application and service research, and closely combine talent training, research and development with industrial development.

Question 8: What is the major of information management and information technology? This is a course that combines management and computer science. You should learn something in every aspect. Personally, I think that if you are a studious person with strong self-study ability, you can study this major, and both majors should learn some knowledge, because they are interdisciplinary, and neither of them is as good as just studying this major. Baidu boss Li Yanhong graduated from this major.

Question 9: The employment prospect of information technology is accompanied by the development of the Internet. The shortage of IT talents will become more and more serious. According to conservative estimates, the China market needs more than 200,000 IT talents every year. However, domestic IT education is mainly the academic education of computer, electronics, telecommunications, information technology and other related majors in colleges and universities, and the number of college graduates trained every year is about 50 thousand, which is far from meeting the market demand. The extreme shortage of IT technicians forces many companies to offer high salaries to hire qualified professionals, and the generous treatment of these positions attracts many non-IT personnel. So many people try to get these jobs through various trainings. Good employment prospects and salary in IT industry attract a large number of non-computer majors, mostly young people. They urgently need to rely on learning and training to gain the technical ability to enter the IT industry. On the other hand, career changes and replacement in IT industry are also the most frequent, which requires practitioners to keep learning to keep this continuous working state. At the same time, the more advanced the technology a person learns and the more comprehensive the technology he has, the broader his career development prospects and the greater his chances of choosing a job. In addition, due to the rapid development of Internet technology, many people who have mastered outdated technology have to receive retraining to keep up with the latest technology. With the continuous development of China's economy and the improvement of informatization level, the proportion of enterprises' investment in informatization has gradually increased, so it is required that employees must learn to operate microcomputers. Joining WTO *** meets the needs of training market. With China's accession to the WTO, commercial operation will play a decisive role. International and domestic business and enterprise competition will make merchants have higher requirements for talents. Only those who have received professional training, skilled skills and solid professional knowledge can adapt to the requirements of the global trade market. Modern lovers are not facing a knowledge crisis, because many people have college education or above, and knowledge is no longer a crisis. Modern people are increasingly experiencing the crisis of skills and skills. They have a strong desire for training and are willing to pay for training, so the market for skills training will grow. In addition, the quality of life of modern people has improved, and there will be more training markets for personal interests. After work, people choose some training according to their hobbies to enrich and enrich their lives. There are defects in the educational mechanism of colleges and universities. Higher education has great advantages in cultivating traditional theoretical and research-oriented talents in computer science, but there are some problems in cultivating applied talents, such as single level, lagging teaching content, serious disconnection between theory and practice, outdated curriculum and lagging facilities, which make most graduates have more theories and relatively insufficient professional application skills. Many graduates even need long-term training to be competent for their jobs, and some are even worse than those who have participated in short-term training. This situation eventually led to many computer majors and undergraduate graduates looking for jobs with university diplomas.

Question 10: which industry does information technology belong to? The tertiary industry.

The primary industry refers to the department that directly obtains products from nature through human labor. China's regulations specifically refer to agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery. The secondary industry refers to the department that processes the products (raw materials) provided by the primary industry and this industry. China's laws and regulations specifically refer to mining, manufacturing, electricity, production and supply of natural gas and water, and construction. The tertiary industry refers to the department that provides final services for consumers and intermediate services for producers (including producers in tertiary industries). Refers to other industries except primary and secondary industries.
