how to attract and retain top IT workers

At the start of this decade, this book tried to look at problems related to Information Technology, at the university level in the US. One of these is the supply of qualified people. While a university might do some training, the preparation of such people is also a function of primary and secondary schools. And a university has to compete to attract IT workers in the face of often more attractive offers from industry. Where this might be in terms of a company being able to dangle a higher salary or stock options. One recommendation is that a university maintain flexible and updated job qualifications. Vital in responding quickly to IT changes. Other recommendations are also discussed.
