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? I would have to say the whole article itself stood out the most for me. Just the fact that there are a lot more competitive areas then just your rival, from customers to suppliers.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you. One part of the article I wish he would of elaborated more on, was when he said "eliminating rivals is a risky strategy." He kind of went over it, but more details would've been nice.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why? Out of the five forces, which one should we focus on the most? Also, out of those five is there a least important one we should give less attention too?
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 was wrong about anything, but I think there could be more then five factors. Although, they just might not be as serious as the ones stated in the article.
