description: It's predicted that 70% of the Internet companies that went public in the late nineties will not survive to see 2002. For the swarms of dot-com investors who have heard this wake-up call--and who are wondering how to protect their "net" future--there's finally a book that does more than just describe sensational "Net excess" or argue the reality of dot-com stock overvaluation. NET VALUE takes an insightful, pragmatic look at the dot-com phenomena, its impending downfall, and the likely repercussions for individual and institutional investors, the economy, and the Internet itself. Immensely readable and packed with keen observations, this book helps readers answer the following * What factors are contributing to the coming dot-com crash?* How do you measure the viability of an Internet-based business?* What kind of Net companies are best positioned to survive the eventual shakeout?* How will employees be affected by the crash?* How will the crash impact the growth and development of the Net? Far from being just another "bubble" book, NET VALUE offers a balanced, thoughtful treatment of the IPO feeding frenzy--and shows readers how to make it through unscathed.
