Unfortunately, and this is simply the case with the industry as a whole.

The ordered end of private equity firms and other investors is to churn a profit, and it's much easier to restructure and bundle a few companies you've gutted and shelled out to India than it is to find the 20% of the company that is productive and "give them what they need" in terms of time-investment to right their own ship. I'm gradually taking on the opinion that the only people who will be able to succeed in the globalized arena of tech will be startups where everyone is hungry (In the sense they have drive). Google and Microsoft occasionally are forced to admit that their research initiatives have been defeated in benchmarks by some no-name startup operating out of a strip mall office lease. That could be me just completely coping though because I don't want to work for the man again, and I'd rather be my own boss at this point in life.

[QUOTE="bemis, post: 9130, member: 197"] Unfortunately, and this is simply the case with the industry as a whole. Investors and shareholders are fully cognizant of the fact that their intellectual property is "overstated" in it's significance. The ordered end of private equity firms and other investors is to churn a profit, and it's much easier to restructure and bundle a few companies you've gutted and shelled out to India than it is to find the 20% of the company that is productive and "give them what they need" in terms of time-investment to right their own ship. I'm gradually taking on the opinion that the only people who will be able to succeed in the globalized arena of tech will be startups where everyone is hungry (In the sense they have drive). Google and Microsoft occasionally are forced to admit that their research initiatives have been defeated in benchmarks by some no-name startup operating out of a strip mall office lease. That could be me just completely coping though because I don't want to work for the man again, and I'd rather be my own boss at this point in life. [/QUOTE]
