Description: With personal and funny anecdotes set in computer labs, congressional hearings, and corporate competitors' offices, Weis describes the unusual business models that enabled ANS to create the backbone of the Internet. Indicative of Weis's dual approach to business, he offers inspiring case studies and heartwarming stories of visionaries who helped low-income youth find high-tech jobs and inner-city achievers who were given powerful opportunities.

Socially conscious entrepreneurs want to give in a way that makes a lasting impact on society, and Allan Weis shows them how to balance that desire with smart corporate management.
