Methods Of Eliciting Companies' Demand For Intellectual Products

Abstract

To influence the level of preparation of both IT specialties and economic fields closely related to IT technologies in higher or secondary educational institutions in order to meet the needs or requirements of various companies. Collaborative efforts between businesses and education can address the issue of quality potential personnel and enhance students' preparedness through the establishment of a standardized set of business demands. When identifying the requirements for IT specialties, the key vectors include not only work experience and skills but also business qualities and the ability to work in a labor collective, aligning with company values. To better define the competencies of future employees, one of the best methods we believe is the Delphi method, which involves expert judgment. This method is a form of collective expert assessment that includes several rounds of anonymous surveys of the expert group to achieve consensus. By involving interactions between companies and educational institutions in the study, surveys can be conducted to gather statistics and utilize educational plans that interest organizations. The competencies proposed by experts may carry similar semantic meanings but be described with different words. Additionally, the merging of similar competencies into more comprehensive ones is possible. In the era of rapid IT development, this issue can be addressed through existing text analysis and comparison techniques in databases. Thus, unification of competencies can be established during the learning process.
