Israel: Leader of Business Innovation
11 December 09 07:09 AM | JackieG | 3 comment(s)

Here is a short video clip from CNBC, Israel: Leader of Business Innovation, that is an interview with one of the authors of the recently published book “Start-up Nation: The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle”. 

You can also read a Newsweek excerpt from the book at Soldiers of Fortune - How the Israeli Army became the most prolific innovation engine on earth.

The book is the result of the authors’ research into why Israel is the fastest growing innovation economy in the world that was minimally affected by the recent/current economic meltdown.  They try to answer the questions “What are the factors driving the Israeli success?  What can we learn from them?”

At Renaissance, as a software development and outsourcing company, we are often compared against other organizations from around the world.  While our rates may often be higher than our competitors, the value we provide has proven to be significantly greater as well.  This superior value not only takes the form of higher quality, lower overall costs, and responsive client support, but also exceptional innovation and creativity.   That is why most of our projects are for start-up companies or existing companies with a new project in start-up mode - Quick Start for Startups.

I’d be very interested in hearing your thoughts, plans, and/or experiences.
