“…Thus, students from privileged families have more opportunities to use and to experience success with computers so that they acquire more ICT knowledge and basic skills than students from low SES backgrounds (Meelissen and Drent, 2008). With regard to strategic CIL, it can be assumed that students benefit less from parental support because many adults as well as children or young people have problems in solving information-related tasks (e.g., Gibbs et al, 2011; Van Deursen et al, 2011; Walraven et al, 2009). Thus, the correlation between SES and strategic CIL was significantly lower.…”

The combination of different item formats is found quite often in large scale assessments, and analyses on the dimensionality often indicate multi-dimensionality of tests regarding the task format. In ICILS 2013, three different item types (information-based response tasks, simulation tasks, and authoring tasks) were used to measure computer and information literacy in order to balance technological and information-related aspects of computer and information literacy. The item types differ in the cognitive processes and the type of knowledge they measure and in the strands and aspects of the ICILS 2013 framework they address. In this article, we explored which factor models that assume item type factors or type of knowledge factors fit the data. For the factors of the best fitting models, regression analyses on SES, frequency of computer use, self-efficacy, and gender were computed to work out the different meanings and the convergent and discriminant validity of the factors. The results show that three-dimensional models with correlated factors for item type or type of knowledge fit best. Regression analyses discover substantive implications of between-item and within-item models. The effects are discussed and an outlook is given.

This paper attempts to explore employability factors of Indonesian accounting professionals in ASEAN region. A Career EDGE model is used as the employability framework. A qualitative approach is employed to obtain in-depth information and achieves insights from employer, employees, and experts. The finding showed that career development learning, experience (work and life), degree subject knowledge, skills and understanding, generic skills, emotional intelligence, self-confidence, and reflection and evaluation are factors that influence employability. Indonesian accountants need to enhance degree subject knowledge, skills and understanding, generic skills, and emotional intelligence, particularly in IFRS standards and communication skills. Managerial and theoretical implications are mentioned, as well as limitation and recommendation.

“…These changes in the skillset of marketing professionals, however, have not traveled smoothly and efficiently into the job market. Gibbs et al (2011) document the mismatch between employers and graduates with respect to their views regarding the computing skills needed to succeed in the job market. In their study, employers seemed to have very particular expectations about specific troubleshooting computing skills whereas graduates felt confident employers would provide training if specific skills were needed.…”

The past two decades—and the technology advancements experienced throughout them—have left marketers with a new context that has provided new business opportunities. This new context has prompted a change in the focus of the marketing function and demanded a shift in marketing imperatives and competencies. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of the technological changes experienced by the marketing function in a company, as documented by both scholars and practitioners. It also provides a thorough discussion of the ongoing academic debate regarding the new set of technical skills that have defined employability in the marketing circles for the past couple of decades and the challenges ahead for future professionals and executives.
