About the Book

Angefangen bei der Entwicklung von Java und drahtloser E-Mail bis hin zur Definition der XML Spezifikationen - die Kanadier haben still und leise mit ihren Geschäftsmodellen die international innovativsten Unternehmen geformt und damit das Aussehen der Weltwirtschaft nachhaltig verändert. Sie haben sich an die Spitze der größten Technologieunternehmen in den USA gesetzt, so z.B. Jeff Mallet, COO von Yahoo!, und Jeff Skoll, First President von eBay.

Innovation Nation erzählt diese faszinierenden und spannenden Erfolgsstories, die in Kanada und auch weltweit kaum bekannt sind.

Das Buch wirft einen Blick hinter die traditionelle kanadische Bescheidenheit und porträtiert 30 Kanadier, die die Welt doch kennen sollte.

Es demonstriert an diesen Persönlichkeiten Führungsqualitäten von heute und morgen, wie z.B. innovatives Denken, unternehmerischer Ehrgeiz, und Teamgeist.

Die hier erzählten Geschichten sind genauso verschieden und vielfältig wie die behandelten Personen selbst, doch alle haben eines gemeinsam: Sie alle haben Grenzen überwunden, um einen sehr persönlichen und bedeutungsvollen Beitrag zur aktuellen Technologielandschaft zu leisten.

Ihre faszinierenden, bisweilen chaotischen und immer aufregenden Kämpfe sind sowohl informativ als auch unterhaltsam, denn wir lernen hier wichtige Lektionen von echten kanadischen Unternehmern.

Wenn Sie dieses Buch gelesen haben, werden Sie verstehen, wie Kanada als Nation dazu beigetragen hat, die Denkweise dieser Geschäftsleute mit zu prägen: Durch starke Gemeinschaften, vorteilhafte Steuergesetze für Technologieunternehmen sowie durch die geographische und kulturelle Nähe zu den USA, baut Kanada eine physische und intellektuelle Infrastruktur auf, die notwendig ist, um weiterhin als führende 'Innovation Nation' die Spitze anzuführen.
