Bakalauro baigiamajame darbe yra analizuojama informacinės visuomenės plėtros įtaka šalies darbo produktyvumui. Darbas susideda iš dviejų dalių. Teorinėje darbo dalyje nagrinėjami Lietuvos ir užsienio šalių autorių moksliniai straipsniai apie informacinę visuomenę ir jos paskaičiavimo metodus bei apie produktyvumą ir jo rūšis. Empirinėje darbo dalyje analizuojama 2000-2010 m. laikotarpio Lietuvos statistinė informacija apie darbo produktyvumą ir informacinės visuomenės plėtrą (informacinių ir telekomunikacinių technologijų parengtis, panaudojimas bei panaudojimo pajėgumai). Lietuvos situacija pagal tiriamus rodiklius lyginama ir su Europos Sąjungos šalimis. Lietuvos atveju darbo produktyvumas nagrinėjamas plačiau, pagal ekonomines veiklos rūšis. O informacinės visuomenės plėtros sudarytas indeksas giliau analizuojamas ir lyginamas su keletą ES šalių. Taip pat, bandoma nustatyti, ar informacinės visuomenės plėtra įtakoja šalies darbo produktyvumą ir kuris informacinės visuomenės plėtros veiksnių daro tam didžiausią įtaką. / In Bachelor’s final thesis the impact of development of information society on country's labor productivity are analyzed. The work consists of two parts – theoretic and empirical. In the theoretic part Lithuania’s and foreign countries’ scientific articles about development of information society and its calculation methodology and productivity and it's types are analyzed. In the empirical part there are analysis of years 2000-2010 statistical information of Lithuania about labor productivity and development of information society (information and telecommunication technology access, use and skills). Lithuania's analyzed indicators are compared with European Union countries’. Deeper analysis is made in Lithuania's labor productivity by economic sectors. Lithuania's calculated index of development of information society is compared with few other European Union countries and analyzed deeper. In addition, the part of the thesis is striving to determine if the development of information society has any impact to labor productivity and which factor has the biggest the influence to it.

Informacinės visuomenės vystymas glaudžiai susijęs su šalies ekonomikos raida, todėl šio sektoriaus plėtra aktuali kiekvienai ekonomikos raidos siekiančiai valstybei. Darbo tyrimo iškelta problema siekiama atsakyti į klausimą, kokių veiksmų ir priemonių reikia imtis, siekiant paspartinti Lietuvos informacinės visuomenės plėtros procesą ir tokiu būdu pasiekti bent ES vidurkį šioje srityje. Darbo tyrimo objektas yra informacinės visuomenės plėtros procesas ir jo rezultatai ES valstybėse narėse. Tyrimo tikslas – įvertinti Lietuvos informacinės visuomenės plėtros galimybes ir perspektyvas pasivyti ES rodiklių kontekste. Darbe keliami šie uždaviniai: išanalizuoti informacinės visuomenės plėtros ES valstybėse narėse politiką bei teisinį šios srities reglamentavimą; įvertinti informacinės visuomenės plėtros rodiklius ES ir Lietuvoje, atlikti jų lyginamąją analizę. Tyrimo hipotezė: Lietuvos informacinės visuomenės plėtros 2009 m. rezultatai atsilieka nuo ES vidurkio dėl organizacinių ir socialinių priežasčių. Magistro darbe iškeltų uždavinių siekiama teoriniais bei analitiniais tyrimo metodais ir priemonėmis. Darbe pateikiama glausta ES valstybių narių informacinės visuomenės plėtros lyginamoji analizė: lyginamos lygiagrečios sritys, įgyvendintos iniciatyvos, pasiekti rezultatai. Atlikta lyginamoji analizė tarp ES valstybių narių parodė, kaip skirtingai formavosi informacinės visuomenės plėtra Europoje, kaip netolygiai vystėsi ir vystosi šio sektoriaus plėtra. Visos ES valstybės...

The UK higher education sector is currently undergoing changes that will impact on the way students learn in the future. National, European and global education policy discourses underline the importance of higher education to the development of an active citizenry and as a way of sustaining economic growth. Corresponding to the rise of higher education on the political agenda there have been huge increases in the numbers of students going on to university education in the UK and further afield. These two aspects have placed a brighter spotlight on the problems the sector faces and change is stated to be necessary and desirable in order for higher education to fulfil its role in society. The growing political will to devise clear linkages between those individuals who benefit from a university education and those who pay for it, advances in information communication technologies, and the related requirements of the knowledge society, form the receptive landscape for moves towards private higher education in the UK. This thesis focuses on the particular phenomenon of corporate or private enterprise providing higher education in competition with government funding-dependent, so called public universities. The activities of private higher education, or independently-funded, non-state dependent higher education providers in the UK suggest that as the relationship between state and the academy goes through significant changes, these providers have become a sensitive issue. Different parties view the activities of private providers in very different ways; however they are viewed, the activities of these providers are a hot topic in higher education at present. Despite this interest, there are only small amounts of information available about this subsector of HE provision, or about the experiences of staff and students working at these companies. This thesis attempts to address this point by offering an overview of the current situation, referring to quantitative data and with a qualitative investigation. Whilst the concept of private versus public in the higher education sector in the UK is increasingly complex, and the context of a speeding up in the transformation of the sector means it is difficult to paint an accurate picture of such a fast moving object of enquiry, the thesis will attempt to shed some light on the activities of corporations in the higher education sector in the UK within the global context.

This thesis deals with the aging of population and the possibility of adaptation of the elderly people to the social changes, particularly the changes of information and communication technologies. The aim is to analyze the position of seniors in the information society, focusing on the integration seniors into the society by voluntary education at universities of the third age. I will judge how U3A courses influenced the ability of integration seniors into the information society in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part is conceived as the underlying definition of basic terms used in the thesis the senior population, the information society and universities of the third age. The analytical part uses the method of questionnaire based on qualitative research and analysis of internal information from U3A by using my own observations.
