Week 4 Reading Reflection

Reading Reflection - Week 4 Chapter 5

For each reading reflection post, I ask you to address the following areas:

1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations? Opportunity identification was a part that I found interesting because it requires that you always be on the lookout. It is something that I didn’t know was part of the entrepreneur process and it is also something that can be difficult because you always have to be alert, watching out for the new trends and seeing how one can gain from it.

2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you. In the section “Developing your Creativity” it asks you to work on “Recognizing Relationships” in this exercise you are supposed to visualize relationships in different ways among objects, tech, materials, etc. This exercise confused me because I had a bit of trouble because it was a little complicated and wish it had been simpler.

3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why? I would ask why the innovation process wasn’t a larger part of this chapter, and if they did not think this part was as important as the rest of the material presented.

4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How? I don’t think the author got anything and I did not disagree with what was said.
