| Abstract: | The familiar mainland gripe of skill shortage is rarely heard in Northern Ireland. Its population is also growing. Such factors make Northern Ireland a prime site for locating computer operations. The key to the success of software companies is the large pool of local talented labour. The Industrial Development Board may be desperate to lower unemployment rate, currently about 14 percent and the worst in the UK, but it does actually have advantages. IDB is successfully wooing overseas employers back to Northern Ireland. In addition to local talented labour, the supply of high quality graduates from the two universities keeps pace with demand. Prospects for business are usually good in Northern Ireland. |
