New Book Examines the Future Of Israel’s Hi-Tech Economy

September 24, 2012 EPR Network Leave a comment

“What’s Next for the Start-Up Nation”, written by senior consultant Uri Goldberg, questions sustainability of Israeli technology sector

A new book is taking a cold, hard look at Israel’s future as a high tech powerhouse. “What’s Next for the Startup Nation?” (ISBN 1477241205) examines the future of the industry which paved the way for the country’s phenomenal economic growth. Israel became a center for groundbreaking technological innovation thanks to entrepreneurship, coupled with forward thinking government policies and unique historical circumstance. Up until recently, the country had the highest venture capital cash flow per capita in the world.

Now, global and domestic challenges are threatening to wipe out Israel’s achievements. Faced with a rapidly changing financial world as well as ongoing adversity, old policies are unlikely to remain effective. “What’s Next for the Start-Up Nation?” offers a clear and engrossing blueprint for fostering a strong environment of innovation while sustaining a vibrant economy and is now available on Amazon.com.

Uri Goldberg is a management expert, specializing in serving governments and corporations on strategy, innovations and economic development issues. Mr. Goldberg worked with McKinsey& Co. where he directed key consulting projects for Fortune 500 companies as well as governments in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. He also served as Foreign Policy Aid to Israeli President Shimon Peres in his former capacity as Vice Prime Minister. He currently resides in Tel-Aviv, Israel.

Online laptop supplier sees increase in sales as market declines

October 30, 2010 valucomp76 Leave a comment

October 30, 2010 – While larger computer retailers are finding it hard to stay afloat with tighter margins than ever and a decline in consumer spending, cheap online laptop retailer Val-U-Computers.co.uk has seen a recent increase in sales leading up to the festive season.

Google Insights data reports that searches for laptop related terms are around 20% lower in 2010 than they were in 2009, indicating a decline in consumer interest. Despite this decline, Val-U-Computers.co.uk is seeing an increase in sales due to attractive prices and personal support.

Val-U-Computers.co.uk specialises in professionally reconditioned and refurbished laptops costing around 30% less than the equivalent new laptop. For people looking to save money in this unstable financial climate, this proposition is very appealing.

Trevor Gedge, managing director of Val-U-Computers.co.uk states; “The majority of people who buy laptops from us are looking for something that can be used for everyday tasks such as internet access, email and word processing. New, expensive machines are simply not required for these basic tasks, and money is wasted on features that may never be needed. We have also found a niche market for refurbished laptops with ports not found on new laptops. This market has helped to provide Val-U-Computers.co.uk with a constant demand for Cheap Laptops throughout the year.”

Val-U-Computers.co.uk has been trading since 1993 but moved the business online in 2000 when the internet started to become mainstream in British homes. By reacting quickly to changes in the industry and the changes in the way laptops were being used, Val-U-Computers.co.uk was able to successfully thrive in a fiercely competitive market.
