Lean Startup: Operationalizing Lean Startup Capability and testing its performance implications
开发了衡量初创企业精益创业使用程度的指标（精益创业能力），并发现其与绩效有强且稳健的正相关关系，为创业实践提供了量化证据。
Many startups use Lean Startup (LS). But is it effective? While there are emerging qualitative findings, quantitative evidence does not yet exist. To address this gap, we developed an operationalization of the degree to which startups use LS (Lean Startup Capability, LSC). We then analyzed the LSC-performance relationship. We found a strong and robust relationship. A discussion contextualizes our findings. The LSC operationalization is relevant for research as future efforts can build on and extend it. The contribution to entrepreneurial practice is that we carved out the element of LSC, and showed that LS is indeed linked to performance.
