The success stories of Silicon Valley's technology startups have been well-studied and emulated across the world, but what truly makes Silicon Valley tick? And how can Asian countries develop the Silicon Valley model even further? Rice & Chip: Technopreneurship and Innovation in Asia enumerates the unwritten rules of innovation that have worked in Silicon Valley since the 1930s. Using these rules as a benchmark, author Dennis Posadas points out the similarities between Silicon Valley and Asian countries like China, Taiwan, India, Singapore and Korea. He tackles the research capabilities and venture capital infrastructure of these countries and explains how they have used the Silicon Valley model to develop their own technology startups.
Dennis Posadas is the author of Jump Start: A Technopreneurship Fable (Singapore: Pearson Prentice Hall, 2009) and Rice & Chips: Technopreneurship and Innovation in Asia (Singapore: Pearson Prentice Hall, 2007). He is a former Intel engineer and technology development analyst.
