The following is a reflection on the first assigned reading.
- 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?
- I didn't know that there was a specific term for small businesses that grow quickly per year (gazelles). I was expecting the chapter to be purely about entrepreneurial mind-sets.
- Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
- The section on the concept of integrative approaches to entrepreneurship and the figure involving entrepreneurial inputs and their outcomes was a little bit hard to follow.
- If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
- Why do you say that all companies die when there are multi-million dollar companies that are still going strong?
- I would ask this because I disagree with this statement and I would be curious to hear about his opinion on that.
- What is your personal opinion on the "profile" of an entrepreneur?
- Under Myth 5, he said that defining a set list of characteristics for entrepreneurs is hard to do, so I would want him to try making a list.
- Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
- I disagreed with the statement, "All companies wither and die." There are a lot of companies that have lasted for a very long time without any sign of slowing down. Logically speaking, generalizing and saying that absolutely all companies die is more than likely incorrect as every company's situation is different.
