Synopsis

How do markets evolve? Why are some innovations picked up straight while others take years to be commercialized? Are there first-mover advantages? Why do we behave with 'irrational exuberance' in the early evolution of markets as was the case with the dot.com boom? This book explains in a refreshingly clear style how markets develop. His purpose is to show how good a grasp of economics can improve managers' business and investment decisions.
