SennettReport

Simon Constable of The Wall Street Journal’s Digits program asked me why Groupon turned down that nearly $6 billion offer from Google, as detailed in Groupon’s Biggest Deal Ever.

Fortune contributing editor Duff McDonald discusses Frank Sennett’s new book Groupon’s Biggest Deal Ever. And here’s Duff’s review in the Wall Street Journal, in which he says, “Mr. Sennett had an enviable level of access during his reporting, and it pays off in a highly readable series of vignettes that demonstrate just how much personality plays in high-stakes Silicon Valley deal-making.” He then adds, “For students of start-ups, there is much to enjoy in this breezy retelling of three tumultuous years with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line.” Thanks, Duff!
