Few entrepreneurs can claim to have radically changed the way we live, and Ray Kroc is one of them. His revolutions in food-service automation, franchising, shared national training, and advertising have earned him a place beside the men and women who have founded not only businesses, but entire empires.

独自の視点と卓越した才能を持ち、さまざまな分野の最前線で活躍するトップランナーたちが、時代を切り取るテーマについて語り合う連続企画「イノベーターズ・トーク」。
第2回は、ローランド・ベルガー日本法人会長の遠藤功氏と、ローソン会長CEOの玉塚元一氏が「日本人にMBA（経営学修士）は必要か」をテーマに激論を交わす。 遠藤氏は外資系コンサルティングファームのトップを務め、「現場力」という概念を世に広めたことでも知られる。
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。

堀江貴文氏×佐山展生氏×楠木建氏の「新春 大放談」──。

最初は若干、硬さが見られたものの、徐々に舌も滑らかになり、年代、立場、経験のまったく異なる3人の思考がぶつかり合う。白熱する議論からは、新しい時代のあり方が浮かび上がってくる。その模様を今回、Audible限定コンテンツでお届けする。

Do you have a grip on your business, or does your business have a grip on you? All entrepreneurs and business leaders face similar frustrations: personnel conflict, profit woes, and inadequate growth.

In their book Abundance, best-selling authors and futurists Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler tackled grand global challenges, such as poverty, hunger, and energy. Then, in Bold, they chronicled the use of exponential technologies that allowed the emergence of powerful new entrepreneurs. Now the best-selling authors are back with The Future Is Faster Than You Think, a blueprint for how our world will change in response to the next 10 years of rapid technological disruption.

The pressures on organizations to change will only increase over the next decades. Yet the methods managers have used to strengthen their companies—total quality management, reengineering, right sizing, restructuring, cultural change, and turnarounds—routinely fall short. In Leading Change, Kotter identifies an eight-step process that every company must go through to achieve its goal, and shows where and how people—good people—often derail.
