Abstract |
| In this talk, Professor Kosnik will present
highlights from a book he recently co-authored
with Lena Ramfelt, Circles of Influence and
the Paradoxes of Silicon Valley (In Press)
Harvard Business School Press, Boston MA.
This book provides insights about how the
game of high tech entrepreneurship is played
in Silicon Valley. It reveals seven paradoxes
that players in the Valley have to cope with
in their play of the game, and shows how the
model can be applied to other high tech regions,
by comparing the wireless industry clusters'
potential in Stockholm, Singapore, and Silicon
Valley. The audience will be invited to think
about what paradoxes they have observed about
the entrepreneurial environment in Singapore
and other regions they know. |
