Overview

Fact--50% of all technology companies in Silicon Valley and 25% of all technology companies in the United States were founded by immigrants.  This book will be both a toolkit and motivational call to action for Americans to reconnect to the entrepreneurial survival skills first honed by its immigrant forefathers.  It will reveal the unique entrepreneurial skills of the unsung immigrant small business owners in urban centers as well as the immigrant entrepreneurial giants who founded new and longstanding mega companies such as Intel, Google, Warner Brothers, Yahoo, Anheuser-Busch, Sun Microsystems, Goldman Sachs, Hot Pockets, Linux, Goya Foods, Bose, Paramount Pictures, Max Factor, and YouTube.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"The authors describe the attributes that foster entrepreneurship in this group of individuals: immigrants tend to have a culture that supports education, entrepreneurship, family, and a high-energy work ethic. Entreneurship might also be important to this group because of issues related to discrimination, legal hassels, language barriers, and lack of money." (Choice, July 2010)

"Immigrant, Inc., is the provocative title of a book that argues that talented newcomers are the best hope that America has to create the jobs we will need to lift this country out of recession." (sfgate.com, January 18, 2010)

"The authors of Immigrant Inc. go beyond praising talented immigrant entrepreneurs to explore their mindset, cultural specificities and their high level of determination and innovative thinking." (Businessworld Magazine, India)

"Want to add energy, creativity, jobs and increased prosperity to the regional and state economies? Do everything possible (and legal) to attract skilled immigrants. That is the compelling message of Richard T. Herman, a Cleveland immigration attorney, and Robert L. Smith, a Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter, in their new book." (Akron Beacon-Journal)
