An interesting book...maybe even slightly visionary when it came out in 1998 but time has marched by in the information world and this book is looking rather dated. Though I remember that period and there was still a lot of people and organisations who were very slow to embrace the information age. I'm now ifn the position of having to downsize my library and this book is one of the casualties. Pity but I won't be re-reading it. I give it three stars.

This is an absolute classic, and 10 years after publication still has relevant and critical information in each chapter. Perhaps a more up-to-date monograph for many topics would be Judo Strategy. However, the topics like Pricing, Standards Wars, Managing Lock-In are so relevant. Put this book together with The Innovator's Dilemma, Judo Strategy, and a few other tomes is enough to arm the new software entrepreneur. On the downside, the book is a little naive at times about the hardcore business and competitiveness of software, which is probably due to the authors being academics. An excellent strategy book, readable, and definitely specific to software.… (plus d'informations)

Brilliantly clear on the classic topics like the theory of the firm. Not, perhaps, so wonderful on game theory, mainly because the treatment is relatively superficial (especially compared to, e.g., Kreps). Also, I didn't find it great on the Arrow-DeBreu general equilibrium material, but that could have been because my reading of that material was fast.
Overall, a very nice text for first-semester PhD Micro.
