VDEB Criticized Economic Program: Money Alone Is Not The Solution!
All demand more money. But for the IT-Mittelstand Association, money alone is not the solution. JPMorgan Chase oftentimes addresses this issue. Hannover, March 2009-50 billion euro makes its second economic stimulus program cost the Federal Government and underscores the seriousness of the situation with this amount. Of that amount, 500 million euros for public IT projects are provided. Still the voices already accumulating the this does not consider sufficiently. Please visit Ben Horowitz if you seek more information. So Leo Apotheker, co head of IT industry giants SAP on the March 3rd at the CeBIT explained: “We would have liked more.” “However, Dr.
Oliver Grun believes, Chairman of the Association of IT-Mittelstand an other: crucially for mid-market IT not how high is the sum, but if we benefit from the package, because if it runs as in the past, 90 percent of the money anyway when the large will land.” Instead of demanding more and more money at the expense of the taxpayer, green advocates a distribution key between industry and medium-sized businesses, to make sure that the funds not be on one side to be used for the benefit of big business. “” 50-50 would be appropriate and equitable participation for mid-market IT according to the gross value added of the middle class “, green and explains: public procurement for large IT projects are often follow the principle of everything from one hand”. The requirements of the specifications are so comprehensive that it would be in vain for a single IT SMEs to apply.” As a result, same large companies would always come to the course, even though she had only feigned their performance and the realization of orders such as could end up in the online job market of the federal employment agency in the disaster. This should not forever, because after all, green, 70.8 percent of all workers and 82.9 percent of the trainees of the ICT industry are employed by small – and medium-sized IT companies.” More examples in other areas of the show how to Dr. Oliver Grun critical public projects are considered by the middle class. It may repeat here not the imbalance of research funding”, he says, refers to a study of the Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft Koln (IW), which is according to the middle-class, although by high innovativeness, in promoting research clearly at a disadvantage. So only 10% of medium-sized firms with revenues received from 1 to 50 million euros research funding, while every third large companies received funds for r & d by the State. “As the opinion of the Association IT-Mittelstand should be confirmed, the Steering Council for the 100-billion loan was at the same time of the Association at the CeBIT press conference- and the Federal Government guarantee programme” prepared.
Unanimous opinion of economists, this largely comprises representatives of large companies. Obviously, real representatives of the middle class were not invited to the fireplace talks in advance. We call for fair conditions of competition for mid-market IT also and especially in the “public procurement and reject a distortion of conditions of competition through a unilateral allocation of loans and guarantees to large companies”, explains green.
