Accounts of fortunes made, sometimes overnight, make investment in Internet related business a very tempting proposition. But the hype and hysteria surrounding many Internet companies and their public offerings make many people wonder: Is the Internet phenomenon for real? If so, how can I spot a sound investment? And even, can my company claim a place in the industry?In Net Profit, author Peter Cohan maintains that the Internet, while unique in aspect, is not so different in form from other industries. Using tried-and-true economic analysis, he examines nine specific Internet business segments and identifies the underlying dynamics of each. He compares the strategies and practices that distinguish each segment leader from its peers. He cuts through the hyperbole surrounding Internet business to make economic sense of the Web and provides readers with a thorough understanding of today's industry. Along the way, Cohan also offers a wealth of savvy investment advice.If you are an investor, you'll be introduced to a unique framework you can use to evaluate potential Internet investments: The author sets loose his Net Profit Retriever to sniff out worthy companies in all nine Internet market segments.
