Both a revelation and a call-to-action, Immigrant, Inc. explores the uncommon skill and drive of America's new immigrants and their knack for innovation and entrepreneurship. From the techies who created icons of the new economy-Intel, Google, eBay and Sun Microsystems-to the young engineers tinkering with solar power and next-generation car batteries, immigrants have proven themselves to be America's competitive advantage.
With a focus on legal immigrants and their odyssey from homeland to start-up, this unique book
- Explores the psyche, cultural nuances, skills, and business strategies that help immigrants achieve remarkable success
- Explains how immigrants will create the American jobs of the future-if we let them
Whether you are a CEO, a civic leader, or an entrepreneur yourself, Immigrant, Inc. warns of the peril of anti-immigrant attitudes and a hostile immigration process. It also explains how any American can tap their 'inner immigrant' to transform their lives and their companies.
