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.

  • 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].

His book isn’t only about leadership, it is about the human spirit and how high it can soar. Frohman and Howard capture the expansive vision and non- stop creativity that have made Israel one of the most advanced centers of high-tech innovation in the world.” —Yossi Vardi, chairman, International Technologies; founding investor, Mirabillis Ltd., creator of ICQ “From an early age, Frohman learned to transform fear of survival into courageous action.

This book will stimulate you to refl ect on your practice of leading people.” —Michael Maccoby, author of The Gamesman and The Leaders We Need, And What Makes Us Follow “Dov Frohman distills thirty years of experience on the front lines of the global economy—from Silicon Valley to Israel—in this beautifully written and compelling narrative.

(IIT) in 1987 to supply math coprocessors for 286 and later 386 microprocessor chips. Since June 1995, the company has been discontinuing all efforts unrelated to video conferencing, including dropping product lines and development efforts in math coprocessors, x86-compatible microprocessors, graphics ICs, and MPEG decoders. Along with the new business strategy came the new name, 8x8 Inc., in early 1996. The 8x8 name reflects the company’s focus on programmable integrated circuits for video conferencing applications in a wide range of consumer and PC multimedia products. An 8x8 block of picture elements (pixels) is the basis of many video compression algorithms. 8x8 continues to place greater emphasis on its video compression semiconductors, which for fiscal year 1996 represented 63 percent of total sales, compared to only 12 percent in 1994. The company is planning reliance on a new line of cost effective VideoCommunicators for the consumer video conferencing market. The company launched its initial public offering in November of 1996.
