• How do you think curriculum must change?
Donofrio:
Here in the United States, we need to change the curriculum. We want to help people become –
you'll easily get this in imagery – T-shaped, not just I-shaped. And that's very important. T has a
very long stem to it, and it says you're capable of seeing what's going on all around you and can
actually change your base. If you saw enough change, you would adapt to a new base and
become deep in a different way. [Note: Gartner has adopted a similar concept in its concept of
the versatilist.] Even today, in the role that I play, I have to constantly acquire new knowledge. I
have to constantly change what's important to me – understand services, understand where
markets are going, understand why they're going there. I have to understand those things
because I'm expected to help make decisions about what we shouldn't be doing, as well as what
we should be doing. We have to be constantly mindful that we don't control value, the market
controls value. So I need electrical engineers, semiconductor people and software people to
generate value in new ways. The T-shaped people, this emerging curriculum about SSME
[service science, management and engineering] that we're trying to build – they're all part of the
answer to the question of what's next? Where do I go? Some of the curriculum is business
training, some is business knowledge, some is just a better understanding and appreciation for
this whole issue. It's marketing, it's value, it's the migration of value, it's the ability to integrate and
put together a solution.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/ieee-20final-208nov07-130822105114-phpapp02/85/IEEE-GlobalInnovationOutlook-ServiceScience-8nov07-16-320.jpg)

1) The document discusses how technology innovation and open innovation are changing engineering as a career and requiring new skills and approaches. 2) It summarizes IBM's Global Innovation Outlook findings that productivity, services jobs, and policy innovation are driving economic development. 3) The key recommendations are that engineers should develop T-shaped skills, look for career opportunities in areas like management consulting, environmental engineering, and networking, and get involved in open innovation through activities like MIT's Open Courseware or IBM's patent commons.

"Last year more than 600,000 engineers graduated from institutions of higher education in China," the report stated. "In India the figure was 350,000. In America, it was about 70,000." To dramatize the seriousness of the issue, the academies titled the 543-page report "Rising Above the Gathering Storm," an allusion to Winston Churchill's book "The Gathering Storm," about events leading up to World War II. Thomas L. Friedman did not use these specific numbers in his 2005 bestseller, "The World Is Flat," he did write that Asian universities currently produce eight times as many bachelor's degrees in engineering as U.S. universities do

- #9 http://www.inc.com/news/briefs/200710/1025jobs.html Small businesses have employed more than half of the nation's non-farm private-sector workforce in recent years, according to updated data from the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy. In 2004, the latest year studied, small employers added nearly two million net new jobs to the U.S. economy, the data shows. "Small businesses are America's job-creating dynamo," Chad Moutray, the agency's chef economist, said in a statement. "Clearly, policymakers need to consider their impact on small business when they are making policy decisions." The updated data also shows the nation's had an estimated 26.8 million small businesses last year, including 1.2 million African-American owned firms, 1.6 million Hispanic-owned firms, and 1.1 million Asian-owned firms. Across the board, there were 6.5 million small businesses owned by women. http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2007/jun/wk4/art02.htm Small firms, those with 1 to 499 employees, create about 64 percent of new jobs.

The fund's later-stage deals likely will involve $20 million to $30 million investments in mature companies that are producing revenues already compared with a typical initial investment of around $5 million in a start-up with little revenue that is just getting off the ground. Carlyle also expects to contribute around $20 million to $60 million to buyouts as large as $200 million, leveraging some of them at a ratio of two to three times debt to cash flow compared with a ratio of six to seven times for huge buyout deals.
