This study examines the present and future demands for knowledge and skills among IT professionals in organizations in Vietnam. A theoretical framework with 3 components is used: 6 domains of IT professional expertise; items representing knowledge and skills associated with the domains; and sourcing strategies that organizations may implement in order to procure basic IT knowledge and skills. The findings provide insights that are not found in existing studies of ICT in Vietnam which instead are focused on specific ICT issues and ICT development at a national level rather than at the level of organizations. In particular, findings are compared with predictions presented in the only 2 similar recent studies conducted in 2011.
