As our final blog for this course, I will reflect on the semester, the trip to Israel, and the final projects in the class. I think this class was an amazing opportunity to combine the classroom experience with real exposure to the industries being studied. It is easy to listen to speakers and hear about companies, but to go to the country that is currently one of the top countries in start up companies and really feel the atmosphere, provides a different understanding. The course itself was interesting and taught me a lot about business. As my first business class, it was a perfect introduction to basic business terms and ideas by learning about innovative and original ideas in Israel. This class and the trip to Israel have come to show me that Israel is one of the most important countries in the business world today which is why it can be referred to as ?the start up nation?.
The trip to Israel was unbelievably helpful in exposing me to the culture and society of the country and the impact it has on the way Israelis work. Israel is completely unique and this affects their industries. The Israelis are rough and intense, eager to work hard and achieve the most successful outcomes. Israeli?s are not afraid to fail, which is why the country has one of the highest rates in successful start-ups. Lastly, the Israelis live by the survival mentality because of their geographical situation and their history, which causes them to fight through all obstacles in order to succeed.
Our final project, to explore a specific industry, was also a helpful part of the course. By focusing on one industry and the role it plays in Israeli society, I was able to use all the information we had learned and apply it to one specific industry. I was also able to use the information from the inspiration speakers we heard from on our trip in order to further understand the impact of my specific industry, the Kibbutz. Although we were not able to visit a Kibbutz on our trip, numerous speakers mentioned the importance of the industry and its critical impact on the Israeli economy.? Overall this class was an amazing opportunity that I would recommend to anyone interested in business and start up companies.
