Abstract

This chapter presents a new philosophy of startup management—Lean Startup—in the context of management culture. Particular attention is placed on the development of management in Poland, including historical and social factors. The technocratic spirit of large manufacturing industry and the tradition of family businesses and small-scale artisan production clash with the startup culture which is open, egalitarian, and dynamic, but also nomadic and volatile. These attributes of startup culture are a source of its strength and potential, but they can be a barrier to its rapid adaptation in Poland and other countries with similar experiences. The second part of the chapter is devoted to education for startups in the context of education in the field of management and entrepreneurship. The chapter also presents examples of the author’s own courses programmes educating for startup entrepreneurship based on her knowledge and experience conducting classes and training for students and entrepreneurs.
