This book talks about how to apply the scientific method and the principle of evolution to business development. The most valuable thing I got from the book was the ability to look at business development from this perspective. It also helped me to appreciate the risk of taking too long to release your product. A key concept in the book is that many businesses fail by making things that people don't want, so it is very important to test your idea as early as possible, sometimes before even making the product. The specific recommended strategies for doing this were a little weak, but that is to be expected because it is the type of thing that is probably very dependent on the particular business.
