"'Monopoly Rules' provides a really useful framework for sorting strategies that work from those that don't. It is exactly how successful entrepreneurs' minds work."
-Alfred R. Berkeley, former president, The NASDAQ Stock Market
Milind Lele shows how to succeed in business by learning the new rules of monopoly - centered on acquiring 'an ownable space for a useful period of time in which you can make some real money.' Dr Lele shows that winning comes from focusing on a set of monopoly rules, designed to answer questions such as:
What patch of open market space can this business own?
Is the space really open?
If so, how long will it remain open?
