Literature Review:
Jo The concept of Industry Connect System has gained significant attention in recent years due to its
potential to create a collaborative environment for professionals and companies in various industries. This
section provides an overview of existing literature on Industry Connect System, its functionalities, and its
impact on industry professionals and companies. In their study, Yang, Zhang, & Lin (2020) proposed an
Industry Connect System for the garment industry, which integrates job postings, training programs, and
industry news into a single platform. The authors argue that such a system could help address the
challenges faced by professionals and companies in the garment industry, including a lack of skilled
workers and a shortage of resources for career development. Similarly, in their study, Chen, Wu, &
Chang (2019) proposed an Industry Connect System for the construction industry, which provides a range
of functionalities, including job postings, supplier directories, and collaboration tools. The authors argue
that such a system could help improve communication and collaboration between professionals and
companies in the construction industry, leading to better project outcomes and increased efficiency. In a
study on the impact of Industry Connect System on industry professionals, Guo, Liu, & Ma (2019) found
that such a system can significantly improve job search outcomes for professionals in the software
industry. The authors argue that the system's ability to provide job postings, career development
resources, and networking opportunities can help professionals find suitable jobs and enhance their skills,
leading to better career outcomes. In addition to the benefits for professionals, Industry Connect System
can also have a positive impact on companies. In their study, Liu, Li, & Cheng (2020) found that the
implementation of an Industry Connect System in the logistics industry can help improve supply chain
efficiency and reduce costs. The authors argue that the system's ability to provide real-time information
and collaboration tools can help companies streamline their operations and respond quickly to changes in
demand.
Overall, the literature suggests that Industry Connect System can provide a range of benefits for
professionals and companies in various industries. The system's ability to provide job postings, career
development resources, and networking opportunities can help professionals enhance their skills and find
suitable jobs, while companies can benefit from improved communication, collaboration, and supply
chain efficiency.
