Insightful Inputs from The Lean Startup: Part II

This is WITS Zen initiative to post a series of insightful inputs and wisdom nuggets from the book.
- Building a startup is an exercise in institution building; thus, it necessarily involves management.
- Traditional management practices and principles are ill-suited to handle the chaos and uncertainty that startups must face.
- We lack a coherent management paradigm for new innovative ventures, we are throwing our excess capacity around with wild abandon.
- A comprehensive theory of entrepreneurship should address all the functions of an early-stage venture.

- A theory of entrepreneurship must allow entrepreneurs to make testable predictions.
Watch out for more inputs. To be continued…
