Abstract
In the competitive environment of the 21st century, businesses, economies, and countries that attach importance to technology and use technology in the best way are prosperous. Today, businesses lead a life based on technology. Most of the activities conducted by professionals working in their information and communication technology (ICT) department are implemented online and offline via computers. This process, called digitalization, is very significant for their sustainability. In this study, the number of experts employed in ICT in Turkey between 2015-2019 will be examined and compared with Germany's employment in the same period. The study aims to evaluate whether IT specialists' employment in the businesses in Turkey, which undergoes a process of digitalization, is sufficient. It is considered that the study will contribute to the steps taken towards digitalization. The study relies on the ILO data (International Labour Organization). The study uses a case research design, one of the qualitative research methods, and analysed the data by using the content analysis method.
Highlights
In the 21st century, businesses are forced to adapt rapidly to the changing environment
The purpose of the International Classification of Occupational Standards (ISCO) classification made by the ILO can be listed as follows [27]; - to provide a basis for international reporting, comparison, and exchange of statistical and administrative data on occupations. - to present a model for the development of national and regional occupational classifications. - to establish a system that can be used directly in countries that have not developed their national classifications
In today's technology age, many activities in both businesses and daily life are done through information and communication technology (ICT) equipment and supplies
Summary
In the 21st century, businesses are forced to adapt rapidly to the changing environment. Digitalization can be considered as the fulfilment of their activities with technological equipment and supplies. In this way, their activities speed up, their productivity grows, their costs go down, and they make economic gains. Emphasizing digital transformation, Industry 4.0 entered the literature for the first time as an approach introduced at the Hannover Fair hosted by Germany in 2011. Such technologies are used in many different disciplines (Cyber Systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, Industrial Integration, Institutional Architecture, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Business Process Management, Industrial Information Integration, etc.). To realize Industry 4.0, they should give more importance to this issue in their official methods and practices [2]
