Recommendation

Author Dan Carrison deserves credit for writing an insightful book about an ongoing modern tragedy. The Palestinian terrorist attacks, which resumed in Israel in 2000, present a critical lesson for all twenty-first century businesses. Working through terrorist attacks aimed at killing civilians and disrupting normal life actually has forced Israeli executives to learn new ways of operating their businesses. Carrison interviewed leaders in various industries (airlines, hotels, high tech, advertising) who have worked to keep their businesses open, their employees safe and their customers satisfied. He actually found that many companies were revitalized. While the topic of living with danger is daunting, many Israelis have adopted better business tactics as a result of economic and physical terrorism. Oddly enough, this extreme situation leads to an uplifting business story. As a result, getAbstract.com recommends this very interesting book to CEOs, business owners and corporate strategists, especially in the hospitality and service industries. It will put your troubles in perspective and will help you prepare to cope with any type of crisis.

Take-Aways

  • Israeli corporate executives believe their companies have had to become stronger as a result of operating in a terrorist environment.
  • They discovered that demonstrating business stability in the face of uncertainty conveys confidence to their employees and customers.
  • Israeli companies fight the economic effects of terrorism by re-engineering their firms to remain productive and to revitalize their corporate cultures.
