Seminal book I read while part of the dot.bomb craze going on. I was fortunate to have been early in the internet game given how it has unfolded and continues to evolve.

Just rediscovered this book on my shelf. It was a personal favorite when published and still has a lot of value particularly the discussion and insights on business-webs, what aggregators "should" do, and the power of alliances. "An alliance is like a jazz enamble...A context leader of an alliance sets the direction but each player contributes independently to a total value experience."

[Bjorn Hardarson]

When you read as much books as I do, I have sometime small problem finding something to read so I look for older and used ones. Problem is if it is related to the Internet it gets old fast, still good book to read

An optional-read book on managing technology strategy for managers, executives, and entrepreneurs.
