Title: Pedantic, Self-Absorbed and a Waste of Money.
Product review: This book wasn't very good when it was written a decade ago and age hasn't helped it. The authors attempt to apply a scientific method to their analysis of start-ups and potentially succesfull ventures but lack the substance of true quality research. In the end it turns out to be a heuristic that could be summed up in less than a hundred pages if not for the authors' attempting to display their erudition. The book heads downhill when the authors put their "Program" for starting a high tech company in a pseudo-programming format and the book just continues to slide further into triteness.There are much better books on entrepenuership. Do yourself a favor and get a business book written by businessmen not by engineers who aspire to be philosphers.
