INTRODUCTION

“Start-Up Nation” was written by Dan Senor and Saul Singer and published by Twelve Books. The claims which the authors argue in the entire book are; “Israel is innovative and entrepreneurial” and “Israel is the next big thing”.

Daniel Samuel “Dan Senor” is an American writer and political adviser who has been considered as “an unusual breed… a policy wonk, a media maven, successful author and financier. Saul Singer is an American-Israeli journalist and author. He is formally the editorial page editor at The “Jerusalem Post”.

In the backdrop of the “Start-up Nation” Israel’s success story is one seeded by a feat of survival, watered by a corporate culture which has its root in chutzpah, nourished by battlefield experience that resulted in innovation and entrepreneurship, and crafted by the chisel of Government policies and strategies and motive,classic cluster modeled after Michael Porter and venture capital.

Putting “Start-Up Nation” in the context of classic traits of entrepreneurship and features that makes an entrepreneur innovative, Dan Senor and Saul Singer successfully articulated these features with justifiable proofs. The book is a classic business plan for Israel. It began with an executive summary in the manner of a foreword by President Shimon Peres, glides on to the body where it judiciously sells Israel by going from the history of Israel, the present situation and forecast. It reveals Israel’s strengths and balances it threats inherent to the economic miracle and concludes with the projections made by President Shimon Peres.
