What I don't like about this article is that it suggests that you are forced to choose: either MBA or "new methods of innovation, like the lean startup, accelerators, hackathons and growth hacking". First it seems that the author doesn't fully understand the quoted buzzwords. But that's not the point. The important thing is that Lean Startup is a methodology that can be supplemented by knowledge nad (hopefully) skills that you get during MBA studies. Who said that these things are mutually exclusive?
