A. BASIC SURVEY FINDINGS CHAPTER ONE Problems, Strengths and Weaknesses of IT/ICT Fields in the Czech Republic The Opinions of Surveyed IT/ICT Experts 23 (1) The queried experts came from the state, academic and business practices; with regard to this fact the specification of the problems in the field of information and communication technologies was differentiated from the perspectives of the individual explored groups. The following facts can be stated with a certain amount of generalisation. Representatives of the state sphere consider the basic problem of the IT/ICT field in the Czech Republic to be a lack of development programmes and a not-very-complex approach to the whole issue. The Czech Republic is lacking a long-term or medium-term conception on the part of the country with a clear orientation on the information society and institutional security. Other problems are in the low flexibility of the legislative area and the lack of preparedness on the part of specialists to provide their know-how to the professional and lay public. Representatives of the academic sphere point to a lack of funds and connected problems with the quality of the hardware at schools of all levels. They refer to an increasing need for software specialists and the problem of universities to cover this need (even though there is a department oriented on IT/ICT issues at almost all universities). The consider the biggest problem to be ensuring top specialists for quality instruction, since those prefer to leave for the commercial sector which offers them salary conditions that are many times higher. If appropriate measures are not taken, it is a real threat that second- or third-rate instructors will be teaching at universities. Representatives of the commercial sphere emphasise the discrepancy between the need to obtain the newest technologies and the available volume of finances which often do not permit this, especially in the case of Czech companies. The IT/ICT sector is going through an unbelievably fast development of technologies in a short period for the usability of the individual software. Most Czech companies have a limited availability to top know-how as well, since training in the most modern technologies is extremely financially demanding. The insufficient interlinking of universities with the needs of practice, and the low interconnection of the academic and business spheres connected with this, is a target of criticism by the experts from selected IT/ICT firms. Universities should more actively react to commercial practice, ascertain the needs of companies and coordinate their study plans in accordance with this. With regards to the preparation of IT/ICT specialists, experts from practice place a 23 In the middle of 2006 a qualitative survey was made on the basis of controlled interviews with selected experts from the area of information and communication technologies. Representatives of the state sphere (Ministry of Informatics, The Ministry of Industry and Trade), representatives of the academic community (experts from various types of universities) and selected specialists from the field were involved in the survey. The focus of those asked come from Prague. 40
greater emphasis on the graduates’ general overview, analytical thinking, knowledge on the latest trends and language skills. Some of the respondents from this group pointed to the low use of outsourcing services in the IT/ICT sector. (2) The surveyed experts agree in that the field of information and communication technologies in the Czech Republic is on a good level and roughly corresponds to the European-wide average. The lack of finances for top-of-the-line technologies, which causes the Czech Republic’s dependence on Western Europe and the USA, is a weakness. The high creative potential and knowledge of Czech information specialists, who, in comparison with their foreign colleagues, think through a problem more fully, can flexibly improvise and resolve situations even when they do not have precise rules specified, is coincidently considered to be a strength in this area. 41
