A debate: does Lean Startup represent a giant leap?
基于DRUID 2023会议的辩论，本文从正反两方面探讨精益创业方法是否代表创业理解的巨大飞跃，强调需根据条件判断其有效性。
The Lean Startup approach, introduced by Eric Ries in 2011, has become a widely recognised method in entrepreneurship, emphasising rapid experimentation, customer feedback, and iterative development over traditional business planning. Building on a debate from the DRUID 2023 conference, this article presents scholarly reflections on whether the Lean Startup represents a ‘giant leap’ in our understanding of entrepreneurship, offering arguments both for and against this claim. The discussion highlights both the strengths and limitations of the Lean Startup approach, ultimately emphasising the need for a nuanced perspective on the conditions under which tools such as the Lean Startup are most effective to foster entrepreneurship and business model innovation.
