Reading Reflection Week 14



Reading Reflection

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? 

One of the concepts that stood out for me in chapter 3 was corporations adopting entrepreneurial concepts to its strategic business plans. It was stated that the need for companies to continuously innovate product and services and to be able to compete in this century where technological advances are always being made they needed an entrepreneurial mind set in order to keep pace with its competitors and stay relevant.

2)      Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.

I was confused to see that ethics was something that needed to be addressed in entrepreneurship. I was always led to believe that ethics regardless if it’s a corporation or venture that was core competent when conducting business. 

3)      If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why? 

Should a venture develop a code of ethics that should be adhered by both its employees and suppliers? How should a small venture in act and develop code of ethics?

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 wrong. They provided good examples and tables for both chapters.
