Frohman was charged with helping Intel establish a small chip design center in Haifa, which at the time, was Intel’s first outside the U.S. The rest, as the cliché goes, is history. In a little over a generation, the Israeli semiconductor industry has grown to now employ more than 20,000; annual revenues are about US $5 billion. Intel, for instance, now has about 9,900 employees in Israel and is planning to invest almost $6 billion in upgrading its Kiryat Gat fab facility. In fact, since 1974, Intel has invested about $10.8 billion in the Israeli semiconductor industry. “We’ve exported goods worth $35 billion most from our production centers in Kiryat Gat and Jerusalem,” said Intel VP and Intel Israel CEO Maxine Fassberg. Sol Gradman is editor of TapeOut, a publication covering the semiconductor industry, and also chairs ChipEx, the country’s largest annual semiconductor/microelectronics conference. Gradman said Israel’s semiconductor industry today comprises three types of companies – fabless, multinational design centers, and fabs.

In 1993 he moved to Harvard where in 2003 he became the founding Chair of the HMS Department of Systems Biology and was named the John Franklin Enders Uni- versity Professor in 2009. The two books he wrote with John Gerhart, Cells, Embryos and Evolution (Blackwell, 1997) and The Plausibility of Life: Resolving Darwin’sDi- lemma (Yale University Press, 2005), reflect his deep and longstanding interest in how biological systems evolve. Here he gives his view of the evolution of evolvability and its profound importance for understanding and ap- plying biology. What is evolvability - how would you define it? Marc Kirschner In some sort of tautological way evolvability is simply the capacity of a system to evolve. But more than that, in a Darwinian sense it speaks to both the amount of effectively what I mean is that if you make random variation that is subject to selection, and the nature of changes in mechanical systems they inevitably either that variation.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable.

    Dov Frohman Looking for Unanticipated, Random Opportunities!

    DOV FROHMAN LOOKING FOR UNANTICIPATED, RANDOM OPPORTUNITIES! INTERVIEW & STORY BY CHERYL PRUSS Many of you may remember retired Intel VP Dov Frohman from when he managed Intel Israel. His story, however, includes the horrors of the holocaust, working at Fairchild with Moore, Noyce and Grove, inventing the EPROM, teaching in Ghana, authoring a book on leadership and more. Here is just a glimpse of his fascinating life. THE EARLY YEARS rom the beginning, Dov Frohman has lived an eventful life. He F lost his parents to the holocaust, after they made sure he was safely hidden away by a Calvinist family in Holland. Later he spent time in orphanages for children whose parents had died in the war, before being adopted by relatives. Growing up in Tel Aviv, he served in the Israeli army prior to starting his advanced education. After graduating with a degree in Electrical Engineering from the Technion, Dov traveled to the United States to study for his masters and Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. Berkeley in 1963, with it’s free speech movement and demonstrations, was an overwhelming experience and influence for a kid from Israel. In his book, Leadership the Hard Way, Dov summarized the impact this way: “What I learned at Berkeley is that unless you are prepared to see things differently and go against the current, you are unlikely to accomplish anything truly important. And to go against the current, you have to be something of an outsider, living on the edge, a member of a small but vibrant counterculture”.

    American Journal of Innovative Research and Applied Sciences. ISSN 2429-5396 I www.american-jiras.com REVIEW ARTICLE FOREIGN INNOVATORS GENERATORS OF OPEN INNOVATION | llan Bijaoui *1 | *1. Graduate School of Business Management | Bar Ilan University | Ramat Gan | Israel | | Received | 25 November 2017 | | Accepted | 30 December 2018 | | Published 08 January 2019 | | ID Article | Bijaoui-ManuscriptRef.1-ajira251218 | Abstract Background: Immigrant innovators come to the host country with a different cultural background and have to adapt themselves to the local needs and behavior. Other foreign innovators cooperating with MNCs have also to find the way to be integrated and not to be classified as outsiders. Aims: We intend to prove that immigrant and other foreign innovators carry with them inflow of outside knowledge and change the outpourings of knowledge in host countries into discontinuous and disruptive open innovations. Our Method: Patents or diploma statistics cannot express the impact of foreign innovators on innovation processes. A case by case analysis is necessary in order to evaluate the impact of their researches. Results and Conclusion: The commitment of immigrant and other foreign innovators is greater and more diversified than inborn innovators due to the discontinuous and disruptive innovation processes they generate. Their contribution is in an extensive variety of key segments. A positive ecosystem around cooperation with foreign innovators could contribute to a more valuable development for home and host countries. Keywords: disruptive, discontinuous, immigration, foreigners, BoP, MNCs. 1. INTRODUCTION Lundvall (1992) [1] considers innovation to be an on-going procedure of getting the hang of, seeking and investigating, which result in innovative items and new or improved markets [1].
