Dot-Bombs

Abstract

While a great deal can be learned from examining dot-com successes, even more can be learned from studying dot-com failures. The number of failures, unfortunately, is in the many hundreds and has resulted in the loss of billions of dollars and thousands of jobs. The authors describe the major reasons so many firms failed and offer advice for future dot-coms on how to succeed.
