Talent Management in Europe’s ICT Sector: A Data-Driven Perspective
(SNSPA/Paradigm Publishing Services, 2026-06-29) Grigorescu, Adriana; Lungu, Diana-Cristina; Voica, Marian Catalin
The information and communication technology labor market in Europe has become one of the fastest growing segments of the economy, reflecting the broader digital transformation that is reshaping industries and societies. Despite this growth, employers and policymakers continue to face structural difficulties, such as a limited supply of skilled professionals, uneven participation across demographic groups, and strong regional imbalances in the availability of talent. The existing scientific literature underlines the growing demand for digital skills but also emphasizes persistent challenges, including gender disparities, mismatches between education systems and industry requirements, and difficulties in achieving cross-border labor mobility. While a considerable body of work has addressed these issues conceptually, fewer studies have employed systematic quantitative evidence to measure the scale of shortages and their variation across European member states. This study applies a quantitative research design based on secondary data from validated European sources, including statistical databases and official labor market monitoring reports. The methodology combines trend analysis for the period 2012 to 2024, cross-country comparisons between highly developed and emerging economies within the European Union, and correlation analysis focused on the relationship between gender balance and skill shortages. The findings highlight four critical dynamics: a near doubling of employment in the information and communication technology sector over the past decade, the persistent underrepresentation of women with only 19.4% of specialists, pronounced regional disparities with some countries reporting more than 65% of vacancies as difficult to fill, and a forecasted shortage of up to 8 million professionals by 2030. By integrating statistical evidence with a talent management perspective, this research contributes to the field by demonstrating how real-time labor data can inform more effective recruitment, reskilling, and mobility strategies, ultimately supporting the sustainable development of Europe’s digital economy.
Manager de IMM : de la național la internațional
(Tritonic, 2024) Mitan, Andreea
Raportul anual asupra sectorului IMM din Uniunea Europeană 2022/2023 arată că IMM-urile rămân coloana vertebrală a economiei Uniunii Europene:
• 99% dintre afacerile din UE sunt IMM-uri.
• Peste jumătate din PIB-ul UE este generat de IMM-uri.
• Aproape două treimi dintre cetățenii europeni lucrează în IMM-uri.
Situația este similară dacă ne uităm la cazul particular al economiei României.
Dacă ești manager al unui IMM dau îți dorești să devii, cartea aceasta te poate ajuta:
• să înțelegi mai bine contextul economic, social și politic global în care se dezvoltă astăzi afacerile;
• să revezi date cheie despre evoluția sectorului IMM din România (în perioada 2007-2024) și despre extinderea afacerilor românești pe Piața Unică Europeană;
• să îți autoevaluezi resursele interne care te ajută să fii un manager bun și să îți faci un plan de dezvoltare.

Creative urban spaces : a collaborative and organisational view
(Institute of Knowledge Asset Management (IKAM), 2025) Romanelli, Mauro; Zbuchea, Alexandra; Bîră, Monica
The urban development processes rely on cities and urban communities that make efforts to support initiatives and policies that enhance the aims and the implementation of sustainable issues within urban spaces. In particular, cities are going smart not only by investing in human and organisational energies to make technology as a driver for sustainable urban growth, but also promoting cultural, civic and creative assets and inputs that make the city a culture-led and knowledge-driven socially innovative urban community, opening to creative urban spaces. Post-industrial cities increasingly are working to make and develop creative collaborative urban spaces. Cities of tomorrow will invest knowledge sources in driving creative-led and culture-driven initiatives that contribute to making collaborative urban spaces and driving sustainable and inclusive urban growth, leading to community development and engagement. The future of urban growth relies on promoting culture as an opportunity to develop inclusive and cohesive communities that contribute to making creative urban spaces. Creative hubs develop bottom-up initiatives, by involving artists and other creatives who are able to meet the needs of an artistic community, making creative meeting places as well as urban spaces. Creative urban spaces develop creativity-led processes and rely on creative cities and hubs as socially inclusive communities that rediscover the importance of collaborative innovation as a framework that helps shape wealthy urban spaces into engines of social innovation. The study aims at investigating the relationships between creative cities and hubs that are following a collaborative view to organisational as well as urban spaces, in order to drive social innovation and achieve social sustainability within creative urban spaces.
Malicious use of artificial intelligence in political campaigns: Challenges for international psychological security for the next decades
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2023-06-10) Vacarelu, Marius
The generalization of Artificial Intelligence’s (AI) use in the following decades will create huge pressure on the voters’ mental security. The frequency of political campaigns—predominantly electoral—and globalization makes us face a real universalized political campaign, in which territorial boundaries matter less. AI has a rapidly increasing impact on how citizens seek, receive, impart, and access information in political campaigns and elections, especially through online platforms and social media networks. These platforms use AI as part of highly complex and opaque systems to curate content, resulting in a significant impact on freedom of expression. A wise legislator must understand that the strength of AI can collide with the reasoning processes of people, leading to serious disorders of the psyche—both individually and in groups—that can create dangerous behaviors in public space, disrupting important levels of society. Thus, it becomes necessary to study the effects that the malicious use of artificial intelligence will have on the psychology of people, as well as the general security of society and states, with the goal of creating a new international and national legal framework to prevent and sanction any AI use that is outside the moral limits stipulated by that framework.
