Private Equity takes a turn as Shiva the Destroyer

warren_floating228.jpg Don't miss Warren Savage's retrospective on the 'Noughties'. From the dot-com crash that heralded the decade, up to the current nascent recovery, he considers the challenges facing the electronics industry.

In Part 1 of the mini series, he commented on how the last decade marked a transitional period between the 20th and 21st century tech eras.
As described in Part 1, the decade saw the disaggregation of the semiconductor supply chain which started in the 1980's come to a fully complete state and the EDA industry begin to feel the after-effects of this disaggregation which (ironically) fuelled their growth for the last 20 years.
In Part 2 he considers 'Whither Venture Capital?' and 'Private Equity takes a turn as Shiva the Destroyer', before looking at how off-shoring has taken a twist in latter days.

Part 3 will follow next week and will discuss the effects of the changes in the last decade on the IP business as it related to the semiconductor industry.
