Black Swan Start-ups

Understanding the Rise of Successful Technology Business in Unlikely Places

By: Sami Mahroum

This book explores startups that have thrived against the odds in places where startup success was deemed to be unlikely. Discussing a number of technology startups from around the world that have succeeded without state backing nor local venture and seed capital, Black Swan Start Ups provides unique insights into unsung models of success beyond the two dominant narratives of Asia’s ‘Tiger Economies’ and America’s Silicon Valley miracle. The author describes these stories of success as ‘black swan events’ and ascribes their achievements to the ability of entrepreneurs to leverage the ‘place surplus’ of their locations, while building connections to support networks outside their immediate geographies. Including case studies such as Skype in Estonia, SoundCloud in Germany and Bayt.Com in Dubai, this insightful book gives a holistic and wide-ranging view of how technology startups have, and can, succeed in less likely places.

The International Mobility of Academics

The UK Case

By: Sami Mahroum

Scientific mobility is a complex phenomenon that shaped and driven by the identity and objectives of the many various actors taking part in it. While trying to understand the underlying dynamics of scientific mobility, a greater emphasis on understanding the complexities of scientists' subjectivity is required. Scientists operate within a meritocratic process that draws on their talent and professional socialization experiences and rewards them for recognized scholarship. Therefore scientists ascribe greater value to certain institutions (e.g., universities) and rank them relative to others. Because such perceptions can have powerful consequences on the career paths of scientists who become affiliated with these institutions, mobility is an obvious tactic of professional socialization. Mobility becomes a means for enhancing a scientists' prestige and reputation. This book applies theories and notions from the sociology of science onto the practice of scientific migrationand mobility in order to explain the dynamics of human movements in science.
