START-UP NATION is... a timely book and a much-needed celebration of the entrepreneurial spirit.\"―Meg Whitman, former CEO of eBay\u003c\/b\u003e 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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With the savvy of foreign policy insiders, Senor and Singer, authors of \u003ci\u003eThe Genius of Israel\u003c\/i\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Senor, Saul Singer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 044654146X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780446541466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Twelve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.22w x 1.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/07\/2009 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2009","brand":"Dan Senor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43919775236351,"sku":"9780446541466","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8dbea385-8189-4b86-8ae8-b32561ae4c40.jpg?v=1680811836","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/start-up-nation-dan-senor-9780446541466","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
