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

Although software has become easier to build, launching and scaling new products and services remains difficult. Start-ups face daunting challenges entering the technology ecosystem, including stiff competition, copycats, and ineffective marketing channels. Teams launching new products must consider the advantages of “the network effect”, where a product or service’s value increases as more users engage with it. Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other tech giants utilize network effects, and most tech products incorporate them.
