How to Deal With the Perceptions of IS Students on IS/IT Job Loss Due to IT Offshore Outsourcing? An Empirical Investigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
It seems to be a nationwide trend that U.S. colleges and universities are having a decrease in the enrollment of their information systems (IS), information technology (IT), and computer sciences programs. One of the reasons for this decline is believed to be a result of the negative perceptions students have on the effect of IT offshore outsourcing on the job market. This paper presents evidence to show that the students’ perceptions are based on exaggerated predictions rather than actual facts. This paper also includes an empirical investigation conducted by the IS program of Ohio University on the methods it took in order to change students’ perceptions.
