TopIntroduction
The adoption of IT- based technologies in poor societies is very limited, thus resulting in lack of technological development. The differences that exist between IT adoption in developed and developing countries is quite evident, thus giving a specific advantage for developed nations in terms of economic growth. The United Nations has underlined IT as a key determinant in the development of the nation. The absence of IT hinders industrial development, and, hence, there is lack of development and comparison with IT-advanced nations. Post conflict nations require improvement and intervention in terms of security, economy, and technology development. To have a sustainable development, it is essential that such nations have a stable economy that is associated with an international arena. One of the most important elements that supports the economic development includes the application of information and communication technology (ICT). To attain ICT-based development, it is essential to have a proper education system that has scope for incorporating ICT-based approaches. A fundamental restructuring of education along with a revision of the existing education program to have an ICT-based curriculum is the need of the hour. To prepare a digital workforce, it is essential that students have practice related to IT.
Findings are relevant for most postconflict regions in transition, dealing with current and upcoming issues. Likewise, findings may change the perspectives of technology users and lead to higher-quality work in the digital millennium.
Populated by under 2 million people in the heart of Europe/Balkan, Kosovo emerged from recent full-scale war. In 2000, a special peacekeeping mission was set up by the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). With a military presence, the country declared its independence in 2008 and was recognised by the majority of countries.
Kosovo has low economic stability and development, as it has recently emerged from conflict. Such problems mostly derive from people having minimal technological skills. Research alludes to proper IT education absence that leads to minimal workplace performance.
Further examination is encouraged for the questions:
- •
Is there is enough digitalisation available and used in industry of the post conflict region: Kosovo?
- •
Is there sufficient information technology used, investment in it, and knowledge, education, and practice in Kosovo, or is more needed?
Based on the autocratic system existing in the country, quantitative examination directly from students is considered the best way to conduct and is assumed to produce more accurate descriptions. Measures used in this study include capturing the level of digitisation and its availability in Kosovo. The extent up to which digitalisation is being used in the workplace in Kosovo is also evaluated in detail. The present paper investigates the extent of ITC in the industry and highlights the many shortcomings that have not been previously reported in literature.
Kosovo sits in the heart of Europe, but its economic development ranks among developing countries. Recently, it has been classified as a postconflict region, with damaged infrastructure in all areas, including technology, and suffering from insufficient investments. Findings show that productivity and performance is lacking in low-skilled technology employees. The facts draw attention to the situation and encourage an investigation into how much of these skills are being taught in the education system. This paper discusses the general technology in work environments in the country. An examination plan may shed light on the struggling economy that calls for regular use of technology by the younger generation.
