Information Technology Issues in Japan

Hiroshi Sasaki, Osam Sato and Prashant Palvia

Chapter 17 in The World IT Project:Global Issues in Information Technology, 2020, pp 209-221 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: This chapter explores current information technology (IT) issues in Japan from organizational, technological, and individual perspectives. Survey results included in the chapter reveal that security and privacy, IT reliability and efficiency, and business agility are the three top organizational IT issues in Japan. The top three concerns related to technology are business intelligence and analytics, networks and telecommunications, and enterprise application integration. Regarding individual issues, results indicate that IT workers are generally satisfied with their current jobs, experience a moderate level of stress, have a sense of accomplishment at work, and do not want to leave their jobs or the IT profession any time soon. These results are indicative of the Japan-specific situation in which the IT workplace is considered fairly stable.
