'Israel's secret is its chutzpah': the role of chutzpah in Israel's entrepreneurship and innovation scene - an interpretive essay
by Eyal Inbar
International Journal of Business and Globalisation (IJBG), Vol. 34, No. 1, 2023

Abstract: The paper offers a unique explanation for Israel's success as the 'Start-up Nation' and for Israelis' drive for innovation. It analyses the phenomenon of chutzpah, referred to by Israel's former President Shimon Peres as 'Israel's secret'¹ as a Jewish/Israeli trait which encourages entrepreneurship and innovation in that country. This explanation focuses on a national Jewish/Israeli culture and not on the eco-system developed by the government, the effective VC industry, Israel's geo-strategic situation and other explanations offered by the literature.
