We're building more products today than ever before, but most of them fail—not because we can't complete what we want to build, but because we waste time, money, and effort building the wrong product. What we need is a systematic process for quickly vetting product ideas and raising our odds of success. In this book, Ash Maurya takes you through an exacting strategy for achieving product/market fit for your fledgling venture. This new edition introduces the continuous innovation framework and follows one entrepreneur's journey from initial vision to a business model that works.

一方で、約10年間、早稲田大学ビジネススクールの教授を務めた。育成熱心な指導者として教え子からの評価も高かったが、徐々に大学組織やMBA制度そのものへの違和感を抱き始め、2016年に教授を退任した。
昨年末には顛末を著書『結論を言おう、日本人にMBAはいらない』につづり、その赤裸々な内容は賛否両論の嵐を巻き起こした。
対する玉塚氏は、「イノベーターズ・ライフ」でも語られたとおり、海外ビジネススクールに留学したことを契機に外資系企業に転職し、その後、経営者としての道を切り開いた。いわば「MBAの成功者」である。
MBAという制度に、教授として、受講者として向き合った二人。日本人のキャリアを考える上で、MBAはどのような意味合いを持つのか。リーダーを育成する上で、ビジネススクールは有用なのか、そうでないのか。当事者の立場か
