Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A fascinating inside story of a dotcom that grew and collapsed. Moreso as I lived through two similar companies during 2000-2001 - one failing and one succeeding. Sad to hear that the author died of a brain tumour in 2013. ( ) no reviews | add a review
ValueAmerica.com was supposed to do for e-commerce what Wal-Mart did for retail - blow the competition out of the water. Entire multinational retail corporations were supposed to fall to the ultimate one-stop-shop on the web. Led by Craig Winn, a true marketing genius, the company was a dot-com pioneer backed by power players like Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and FedEx chairman Fred Smith. But it didn't happen. In less than a year the share price had crashed and the company had haemorrhaged over $200 million. This is the inside story of e-commerce's greatest debacle to date - a cautionary tale of corporate over-reaching. No library descriptions found. |
