These books address how other geographic regions can try to build the next Silicon Valley in their part of the planet. \u003cb\u003eGiants\u003c\/b\u003e takes a very different tactic, one that we call a \"bottom-up\" approach. \u003cb\u003eGiants\u003c\/b\u003e is written specifically for the individual entrepreneur who is seeking to increase her\/his probability to succeed in their start-up or early stage business idea, thru an innovative new methodology called \u003cb\u003ePurpose-Driven Business Ecosystems\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The 21st Century marketplace has already taught us that \u003cb\u003eBusiness Ecosystems\u003c\/b\u003e are becoming the \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003enew organizational design model\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e. The open market is increasingly rejecting large enterprise products and services in favor of giving preference to \"collectives\" and special interest groups consisting of individual businesses that have chosen to join into organized, well-planned groups. The basic idea is that the productive output of these well focused networks - is a result of the combined actions of all the businesses working cooperatively and productively together. In today's contemporary parlance, we refer to this collective, result-generating aggregate as a \u003ci\u003ebusiness ecosystem\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e For entrepreneurs, the functioning of their business ecosystem can literally make or break their individual business success.
