Book Description

Much has been written about the State of Israel, its historical roots, geographical boundaries, local customs, politics, religion, military and defense policy. Yet, little has been written about its business culture. Despite the vast numbers of Israeli companies that conduct business with international companies, so far no book has explained the Israeli business culture and how to effectively reduce the gaps in mentality and communication between it and the rest of the world.

Israel is a young, small country, yet Israelis have enjoyed tremendous international success in a variety of fields. It is no exaggeration to say that Israeli inventions have brought about significant changes in the world.

Waze, Smart Dripper, Disk-on-Key, ICQ, Iron Dome, cherry tomatoes…all these inventions and products, along with many others, were developed by Israelis and occupy dominant places on the international market. Israeli brainpower and business prowess are obviously considerable and well worth the effort of navigating business connections with Israelis.
