カスタマーレビュー

社会の見方が変わった。
　本書のタイトルは専門的であるため、読む前は、内容は狭い範囲だと推測していた。しかし実際読んでみるとそれまでの認識がガラリと変わった。特に強く感じたことが三つあり１）イノベーションに関して全く無知であったこと２）イノベーションに関してかなり間違った認識であったこと３）多くの日本経済不況論の著書が出版されているが本書こそが日本経済に必要では？と感じたことです。３）に関しては重要で本書は意外にもアメリカ経済とヨーロッパ経済の雇用人口に関する対比から始まります。ヨーロッパが雇用を減少させる中でアメリカは雇用を増加させてきたという。その要因は中小企業の活性化によるものだという。経済活性には大企業よりむしろ中小企業に焦点を当てるべきではと考えさせられました。また、相当深く広くイノベーションに関して分析されておりここまで認識のギャップがあったのには驚きました。事業を起こそうとしている方には事業計画を修正できる名著だと思います。

A must book for Entrepreneurs !
最近、「起業家養成コース」と名のつく社会人向けの講座が大学などで開講されたり、「会社を興して起業家になる」という類の書籍がたくさん出版されるようになりました。

しかしながら、その中身はというと、残念ながら従来の競争戦略論の単純な焼き直しや会社設立に必要とされる一般的な法律知識の解説など、ベンチャーを目指す人に本当に必要な情報はほとんどないのが現状です。

また、ベンチャー研究の分野で高い評価を得ている日本の研究書でも、起業家の性格のタイプや学歴など、起業を目論む実務家にとっては、「そんなこと言われても、どうしようもないよ」という事柄に多くのページが割かれています。

それに対してこの本は、起業家の戦略と実務、原理と行動について他のどの本からも得られないインスピレーションを与えてくれました。

名作
一応ビジネスマンなのだから、ドラッカーの一冊でも、と思って手に取りました。
事例紹介は豊富で、洞察も深く、なるほどこれが最高峰の才能かと唸るばかりです。
訳も読みやすく、楽しい読み物としても良質です。
