Description
The global leader in digital core analysis for oil and gas exploration is a firm linked to the UNSW and ANU. The company which introduced large scale multi-player computer games-with technology that recently gained dominance of the Chinese market-is the creation of a suburban inventor and his wife. The company with the world’s foremost wind-mapping technology is run by a Canadian and a Pommy who met in Canberra. Their stories are just a few that Peter Dawson has, about what can be achieved when science, invention, government and business open doors for each other. Just one city-often discounted as a soulless government town-produces dozens of amazing examples of worldwide business success, based on entrepreneurial support for innovative technology. His book is also a pointer for bureaucrats, boffins and business people-wherever they may be-to the advantages of imaginative collaboration. It searches for the formula that produces the winning results. And in the process it also finds some mindsets that squander opportunity.
