in ‘Deep’ Engineering: an Endangered species in Singapore? on Master of the Obvious
bleah ;p

On the other hand, I thought innovation is overly deconstructed and overly lamented. Think about it this way, "Deep Engineering" can be fundamental to MNC's survival, but it is not the only thing that the MNC need, and would probably not rank the highest in most MNC's books (think customer relationship, business models, onshore/offshore/insource/outsource etc.) Similarly, who say school isn't fun - did you see the kids face in the recent code::xtremeapps? Yes there are issues for the _venture capitals_ who wants to find "Deep Engineering" companies and startups that could be bought up / invested in so that they can be a crucial part of a MNC's portfolio in the future, but if it isn't happening, why can't they put their money on other types of capabilities?

Without understanding specifically what SOC is facing, enrollment numbers for _all_ computing schools in the world is decreasing, so I thought it is pretty much the trend. Can't we attribute it to the global shake out, that the Oracles who bought the BEAs essentially cut the "deep engineering" need instantly? that the 3 billion people who came on board in the last 10 years essentially fill in the gap? that the number of schools in the whole world is just in oversupply?
