Dear all,
it seems that the many states of the developed world rush to pass
programmes
which allow the recruitment of foreign IT-professionals for their
national
economies. In the beginning of the nineties an array of literature
developed
that discussed highly skilled professionals in transnational service
corporations in connection with the world cities theory. The results are
are a
very good starting point to analyse the migration of highly skilled
professionals, but I would like to transfer it to the IT-environment.
Does anybody know literature which discusses the migration of
IT-professionals
and links it with the spatial effects on cities of the IT-industry?
Does any
material exist which combines innovation with migration?
My PhD-thesis I want to anaylise the new spatiality of the so called
„Green
Card“ immigrants in Germany and therefore I would very much appreciate
your
help. Please, reply to me personally.
The results of this query, of course, will be forwarded to the whole
list.
Thank you very much for your help
