Product Information
Canadians have quietly altered the face of the world economy with business models that have changed the way the world does&everything.; From developing Java and wireless e-mail to defining the specifications for XML, Canadians have sculpted, touched, researched, improved processes and blazed trails in the world's most innovative companies. Canadians have also risen to the top of the largest technology firms in the United States, providing a COO for Yahoo!, Jeff Mallet, and eBay's first President, Jeff Skoll. While fascinating and compelling, these stories are not well known either in Canada or around the globe. This sets the stage for Innovation Nation, a fascinating new book designed to cut through traditional Canadian modesty and provide a window into the fibre, minds and makeup of 30 Canadians whom the world needs to know. Demonstrating qualities such as innovative thinking, entrepreneurial drive, and team building, these profiled Canadians are leaders for today and tomorrow. While their stories are as rich and varied as the people themselves they share a common characteristic-they have all overcome barriers to make a very personal and momentous contribution to the technology landscape. These fascinating, sometimes chaotic and always exhilarating struggles both entertain and inform us as we learn lessons from flesh-and-blood Canadian entrepreneurs. Readers will come to understand how Canada as a nation helped shape the thinking of these business minds. With qualities such as strong communities, favourable technology tax laws and geographic and cultural proximity to the US, Canada is building the physical and intellectual infrastructure necessary to continue to develop as a leading Innovation Nation.

"At Red Herring, we are always interested in writing about nations that are doing extraordinary things when it comes to technology. In this respect, there is no doubt that Canada belongs on the podium with the world's best. When I heard the Canadian story I was overwhelmed at how such a fantastic secret had been kept quiet for so long. This book shows Americans that our friends north of the border are extremely valuable partners, and to some extent, mentors." ? Anthony B. Perkins, Editor-in-Chief, Red Herring "Canada needs more books like this...hell, America needs more books like this!" ? Mark Pawlosky, Editor-in-Chief, MSN Money Technology is the future and innovation is the path that will take us there From Victoria to St. John's and even in other countries, Canadian technology innovators are creating their own history. Innovation Nation chronicles the fascinating journeys these unique and important people have undertaken-journeys that have redefined the business landscape and helped Canada emerge as a leader in the global technology sector. Entertaining, surprising, and insightful these 30 in-depth profiles reveal the qualities that make up the core of a true entrepreneur. Look inside to learn o Which Canadian company became a "15-year overnight success" o What was invented by "a pretty serious geek" from Calgary o How an introvert became a biotech CEO o Who became a millionaire because they liked to play o Who "started big" using the competitive advantages of Newfoundland "Like a highly effective prizefighter, Canada is beginning to punch well above its weight when it comes to technological innovation."
