 * StrawToGrasp : if it really is used in business schools all over the world as the last sentence claims, then it may be some kind of notable icon within the MBA subculture, like the old grade school reading books. But, I don't have any idea how to find sources nor do I feel motivated to look.

 * Delete Per Click23; I'm getting my MBA and I've never heard of this. We don't actually read things like Jack Welch's Memoirs or Donald Trump's books, or Rich Dad Poor Dad, which I'm sure this is in the category of. We read textbooks and cases.--CastAStone//₵₳$↑₳₴₮ʘ№€ 19:25, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It does sound like a decent guide to Venture Capital, though. Get your book some media coverage, Mr. Smith, and you can have a Wikipedia entry.--CastAStone//₵₳$↑₳₴₮ʘ№€ 19:28, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
