An okay collection of case studies
This book is an "okay" set of case studies. I say okay because there is no real cohesive structure to the book and the case studies themselves are a little stale, most harking back to the early and mid nineties. Of course, since the book was published in 1997, this is to be expected. If I had had the foresight, I would have either waited for another edition (if one is forthcoming) or look for another one. Aside from the dated material, the case studies were written by many different people. This reduces the book's usefulness as a study tool, or even a good read. Personally, I would have liked to have a little analysis by the authors. I'd have to rate this book as average.

Good Cases Covered
This book can be considered above average. However, it does not cover too many cutting edge technology related cases that interests the today's entrepreneur. Nonetheless, the book can be a starting ground to kick-start anybody's little venture and avoid some of the mistakes covered in the cases. Similar Products
