Case Forum

Case Forum: "G.ho.st: Is an Israeli/Palestinian business too much to hope for?"

G.ho.st, short for Global Hosted Operating System, is a Web-based virtual computer (VC) that makes it possible for any user to log in via an Internet connection and manage documents or run applications from any computer anywhere. What makes Schreiber’s company so special is that it really does break down barriers: Schreiber’s workforce is based in the Palestinian West bank while he manages operations from Israel.
