It gives insight into the view of the business world during the economic boom of the 1990s. However, with all the economic changes since of the following decade, some of the arguments in the book seem to fall flat. Additionally, because of these new economic realities, it would be assumed Venturing approaches would have been reassessed - with the dot-com bust, financial melt-down, and various other events in mind.
