The book START-UP NATION explores the trillion-dollar question: How is it possible that Israel - a country of 7.1 million, just 60 years old, surrounded by enemies and in a constant state of war since its founding, with no natural resources - produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable countries like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada, and the United Kingdom?

With expertise in policy analysis, Senor and Singer examine the lessons of the country's adversity, which limits hierarchy and promotes informal culture - all supported by state policies focused on innovation. In a world where economies as diverse as Ireland, Singapore, and Dubai attempt to replicate the "Israel phenomenon", these business lessons are worth noting.

As America resets its economy and positive thinking spirit, there has never been a better opportunity to look to this remarkable and resilient country for impressive and surprising insights. Pages: 336, Year of Publication: 0926, Dimensions: 20.2x20.2cm
