The computer chip is nearly synonymous with Intel, the world’s leading computer chip manufacturer. Interestingly, this corporate powerhouse came to rely on Israel for its front-line research. As recounted in \”Start-Up Nation,\” a book by Saul Singer and Daniel Senor, Israeli engineers had new ideas to build a more powerful chip, but their corporate leadership from abroad was reluctant to forego their old ways. The Israeli engineers prevailed and, as a result, Intel pulled even further ahead in their field.
