Discussing a number of technology startups from around the world that have succeeded without state backing nor local venture and seed capital, Black Swan Start Ups provides unique insights into unsung models of success beyond the two dominant narratives of Asia's 'Tiger Economies' and America's Silicon Valley miracle. The author describes these stories of success as 'black swan events' and ascribes their achievements to the ability of entrepreneurs to leverage the 'place surplus' of their locations, while building connections to support networks outside their immediate geographies. Including case studies such as Skype in Estonia, SoundCloud in Germany and Bayt.Com in Dubai, this insightful book gives a holistic and wide-ranging view of how technology startups have, and can, succeed in less likely places. . 000755317 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed May 16, 2016). 000755317 650_0 $$aNew business enterprises$$xManagement$$vCase studies. 000755317 650_0 $$aHigh technology industries$$xManagement$$vCase studies. 000755317 650_0 $$aIndustrial location$$vCase studies. 000755317 650_0 $$aSuccess in business$$vCase studies. 000755317 852__ $$bebk 000755317 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-57727-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000755317 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:755317$$pGLOBAL_SET 000755317 980__ $$aEBOOK 000755317 980__ $$aBIB 000755317 982__ $$aEbook 000755317 983__ $$aOnline 000755317 994__ $$a92$$bISE
