START-UP NATION addresses the trillion dollar question: How
is it that Israel-- a country of 7.1 million, only 60 years
old, surrounded by enemies, in a constant state of war since
its founding, with no natural resources-- produces more
start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations
like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada and the UK? With the savvy of foreign policy insiders, Senor and Singer
examine the lessons of the country's adversity-driven
culture, which flattens hierarchy and elevates informality--
all backed up by government policies focused on innovation.
In a world where economies as diverse as Ireland, Singapore
and Dubai have tried to re-create the "Israel effect", there
are entrepreneurial lessons well worth noting. As America
reboots its own economy and can-do spirit, there's never
been a better time to look at this remarkable and resilient
nation for some impressive, surprising clues.
