Looking For Dot Com Failures
from the send-in-your-business-plans dept
A professor from University of Maryland is looking for dot com failures. He’s won a grant to chronicle the collapse of dot coms and is looking for all sorts of info. Right now he’s focused on talking to “cubicle dwellers” as opposed to the top management folks who are more likely to shift the blame. He also wants dot com artifacts – such as original business plans from companies that are now out of business. He says he’s afraid all this info is just going to disappear – but with all the various “this is how the dot coms failed” books that have come out in the past few months, I think he might be a little late to the game.
