Net Strategy shows the direction of the online economy as it moves from one stage to the next, revealing who will profit, who will lose and why, all from the perspectives of investors, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and corporate managers. While Spiegel reviews what the most successful companies have done so far, he also predicts what changes are imminent as one stage of the Internet economy evolves to the next, including: the future of Internet retailing; the coming IPO boom for exchanges; the emergence of European, Asian-Pacific & Latin-American e-commerce; the venture capital market; and B2G, or Business-to-Government e-marketplaces.
